December 1, 2008 - It's All Over But the Pain

I was so looking forward to being on the mend by now. I slept a lot this weekend, and I don't feel any better. It's time to quit whining and get serious about pushing through the pain.

I had felt so good about having a positive outlook during my treatments. It seems now that I'm always whining. I realized today (thanks Tino!) that during treatments I had a definite date to reach for. Now that treatments are over and I have no specific 'feel better' date planned, I'm getting impatient.

Here's my 'feel better' plan:

• Planned Completion Date: January 30, 2009
• Exercise Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for at least 45 minutes
• Take vitamins
• Eat right
• Measured by: No shoulder/arm aches. Go up 2 flights of stairs without having fatigue in my legs. Do the splits. (Quit laughing! I'll post a photo of me doing them on 1/30/09!)

Had a great Thanksgiving. Had 19 folks at the house, and 13 of the 19 prepared food. Not a bad plan. :-) I highly recommend it.
