The Problem With...

[asphaltcowgrrl]

The problem with living with chronic pain is that you never know who is really at fault when you wake up sore, achy, and pissed at the world.

I mean, is it my spinal isuses acting up or did I drink too much caffeine yesterday?  Are my muscles being jerks or did I overdo it with the PiYO last night?  Do I blame my body or hate myself for the way I feel today?  It's a conundrum to say the least. It's probably a little bit of both though, honestly.  The PiYO has been good for me, increasing core strength, which is something I need to help keep the stenois in check.  The cutie pie physcial therapy guy even told me that yoga and pilates were better than the PT I was getting at the time.  But I also know I pushed it too much last night as well.  Why?  Because I am not the brightest crayon in the box, obviously.

I shouldn't complain, really.  I mean, I am able to control the pain through diet and exercise and the occasional Advil.  I don't take any pain meds at all (aside from the previously mentioned occasional Advil) and generally have no issues getting around.  Excepting the nights when I'm due for the PiYO Drench session.  *grimaces*  But... ugh.  I hate life today.

On the bright side, I did manage to pound out almost 1k words today - BEFORE WORK even.  But not a single word since.  Well, not a creative word anyway. :)

Thank you!

Aw, thanks. I'm feeling 100% better today, thankfully. And generally I have no issues, but yesterday... life was trying to kill me with a spoon. LOL *tackle hugs*

YAY for the words, but so sorry about the bad day - I do hope you don't have too many like that!

Aw, thank you. 99.9% of the time, I'm fine... and then you have days where you just have to complain a bit. LOL
