My Impatience bit me
Well, things were going fine, until I decided to over exercise. Not only that I exercised in a posture not correct. Bottom line, I am in week 5 of a 6 week healing process in the spine. My exertion caused muscle spasms in the back which compresses on the spine, which irritates the healing and the nerves involved. I have more numbness now returned on my right side from knee down to leg, and as a result, the body defenses this by inhibiting some muscles to I don't do more damage. Basically, I feel like I just went backwards two weeks. Lesson to learn.....don't over work and be patient. I am in some pain, but hope that as the spasms work themselves out with the help of my therapists, the pain will stop soon.

Hi Ken - Patience is a virtue and God knows most of us have a problem with that....take it as it comes...and if it takes you an extra week or two or an extra 2-3 steps to get to the dinner table so be it....you are walking up right and not with that cute wiggle us ladies use to love!! (did i make ya smile)..and we will all have tears in our eyes when we see you walk to the choir area for the first time - upright...God love ya and give you strength and patience....

Dear Heart,
So you didn't damage anything that can never be fixed? Thank you Jesus!
I agree with Barb that another week or so is not the end of the world... I understand that it's tough for you now but, boy, was I scared that something irrevocable had been done and boy, am I so happy to know that it wasn't!
Lots of Love,
Aunt Pam
