Hey- I actually got myself out of bed this morning! Yippie!! I was finally able to rotate enough to push up onto my elbow, drop my feet to the side of the bed and hoist my body up. What a great feeling!
So, that said, I feel that I am just about back to 100% independence. The only thing I haven't done yet is drive. I'm thinking that I might try that next week.
This morning I actually even went out and fed the birds. It's so nice to look out and see the gold finches- they've helped my recovery, too.
How am I feeling overall? Well, my abs and torso are still a little sore. The muscle pain feeling has subsided a bit and now I have twinges of tightness that feel like your classic "stitch"...you know the feeling of eating a meal and then going running...you get that twinge of sharp muscle pain in your side? That's how it feels every so often. But it is totally and completely tolerable.
I have not taken any form of pain pill (Aleeve or Advil or Tylenol)for about 4 days now. I have continued with my vitamin C packets and my bromelain enzyme, two nights ago I started back on my Omega 3's.
I can't wait until I can really exert myself physically doing a work-out or breaking into a run...just to see how it feels with my new found energy stores and without the huge masses trampolining in my abdomen. I have to go and see the doctor before I get cleared for that sort of work-out! But that's how good I feel!!
I really feared that with an organ absent from my body my "chi" would feel different...from a Reiki/chakra standpoint I wondered if I would feel empty or like there was a great void inside of me at my belly chakra.
Interestingly enough I feel completely the opposite. I actually feel that the flow of everything inside of me is leagues better- I feel freedom and release. It's pretty awesome.
I am going to go and try to put up a load of laundry and get back into taking care of the house. Maybe I should milk this a little longer...hmmmm....hahahaha!!
