Ow

[netmouse]

This has been a physically challenging year for me. A few months ago I sprained my ankle. Then I had allergies so bad I lost my voice. Then I had a cold and lost it again (it's almost fully back, but not quite.) somehere in there I sprained my right wrist. Then I sprained my right ankle again, worse. A week later my stomach hurt and my appetite was low so we concluded I was at risk of peptic ulsers so I stopped taking ibuprofen.

(conclusion on my right ankle was microtears in the ligaments. Started physical therapy today.)

Then yesterday, my left knee gave way. It used to do that almot anually but it's been ten years since the last time. Ow.

So today I feel like such a gimp. Rt ankle in a brace. Rt wrist in a brace. Left knee wrapped.

Therapists says as long as I'm breastfeeding, my ligaments will stay loose and I'll be at risk for injury.

In the meantime, well, ow.

Ouch! Sorry to hear. Hang in there and hope you get well soon.

If it's any consolation, i'm in pain somewhat regularly and am not spraining or breastfeeding; i'm just getting old and not exercising enough. :/

Yes, well, it's hard to find the time, isn't it?

I had a bunch of stuff I meant to do on the computer tonight after I put the baby to bed, but she went down late and then I took the time to do not only my sprained ankle exercises but also most of my right shoulder exercises for my old rotator cuff injury. I did those with the lightest resistance band I have, and still my shoulder got sore quickly. It's a righteous kind of sore, but it illustrates how long it's been since the last time I did the exercises that I *should* be doing at least once a week.

On the plus side, Rosie has developed an avid interest in the guitar, so I am picking it up for at least a few minutes almost every day. Now if only she wouldn't change the tuning...
