I woke up this morning feeling pretty good, I layed there in the bed thinking about the day and how to navigate it (smile). It's already a great morning, the sun is peeping through the clouds and well it just feels good. I sit up put one foot on the floor then the other, slowly stand and BAM! There it is the first sign of the days pain. Now, with lymphedema I should not be in pain but combine that with a cyst (or two), and arthritis and you have a painful situation. But you know it's ok, I still wobbled to the rest room and once I arrived I did just that "rest". (mornings are the worst). With all that said, I still push every day I push myself a little further and just a little harder. I hope I'm doing the right thing...hey what's the alternative, to lay in bed? I think not! I am coming to the realization that I have to set realistic goals. My goal was to be independent of my cane by a certain date well I kinda had to re-figure things a little. My new goal is to be off of the cane by the end of the summer. And you know what? If it doesn't happen by then ok, I'll just re-evaluate and continue working towards the new goal. I think this will be easier as I get use to it...the problem is I'm not getting use to it and I don't know if I want to either!
