Recovery is strange. I don't like, but recognize the necessity of, opiates. Set myself a timer. Take them regularly. Avoid break-thru pain. Makes pain management much easier. However I am constantly feeling the not fun side effects of drunk all of the time. Nausea, head spinning, inability to concentrate or focus, general loss of time. It all sucks ( Read more... )

I've been wondering how the recovery is going.

*hugs*

You're young and strong, hon, and the work you did pre-surgery will totally pay off in getting stronger and fit again.

Much love!

*hugs* Thanks. I feel a bit like I need a cheering squad. I will get there. It just looks like a long road uphill from this vantage point.

I get that, hon. I think we could all use a cheering squad some days. I know I could. I got tackled Monday night about something that I not only hadn't done but would NEVER do. Guess I better post about it since I can't seem to let it go.

*HUGS*

Know that I'm always in your corner, cheering you on!

You will have my prayers and good thoughts for a quick healing.

I understand problems with getting clothes that fit. Even with my weight loss I still have an unusual body type.

Thank you muchly. I got your card too and that was super sweet. Hugs for Keely from me. <3

Fitstbump for the clothing sympathy.

well, every weight loss journey is a series of baby steps...with a boot...more so, perhaps. you'll get there eventually. I hope your dr appointment goes well and the pain continues to lessen so you can get the brain back....

Thanks for the support and vote of confidence. Sometimes it is hard to find the motivation to make it a priority. :)

I could make a very bad statement about using a boot to a certain body part for the motivation, but that wouldn't be right.

Boot to the ass never did much for my motivation. I need it to support my ankle right now anyway.

I think the idea of going on vacation is going to do more for my motivation.
