I'm baaaaack...
So, yeah... wow. Note to self: don't ever, EVER do that again! Running out of much needed medication is not a good thing, especially if it's something you've had to take since 2005... I cannot even begin to describe the pain that I felt without my painkillers. I could hardly walk last Tuesday morning. I even had difficulties walking with my cane in the house. Wow...
The one thing that I've been complaining about the last few years to my doctors is the gradual increase in pain medication. I thought I had some bad pain before this little wake up... Now I understand why I have to take so many of the dang things. While I still plan on one day being free of them, I know that at the moment they really are for my quality of life. May not be the life I want right now, but I'm certainly working to fulfill my goal of being completely holistic once more.
Well, my doc was in last Tuesday and I was able to get my pain killers refilled. (If you weren't able to figure it out...) Since then, I've been building it back up in my system. Not too bad, but they really do kick my butt. I dislike being so tired all the time. So far this week I've been able to stretch out my first round to about 2:30-3:00pm. On top of that, I'm able to actually do some Yoga. Who knows, maybe in a month or two I can downgrade my rounds to just one. Then finally be free!! BUT, I will be smart about it. No more cold turkey crap for this chica!
Let's see... what else... OH! My brother and his girl bought that P90X system a year or two ago. Well, when they moved out, they left the DVDs here. (Can you see where I'm going next??) I checked out the DVDs a few weeks back. I really want to try it! I know I'm not in any shape to just jump in and do it right now, but, a few of the routines could have some modifications to them to where I would still get the benefits safely. I tried out the Yoga bit on Sunday... I don't remember doing so many Downward Facing Dogs before, nor do I remember sweating so much. Well, besides Bikram Yoga.... I could only make it through the first 45 minutes before I said "Screw this!" I'm still feeling the poses from Sunday, but in a good way. Can't wait to do it again! hehe I will probably only do the P90X Yoga once a week until I can build up more stamina. Cuz believe me: that ain't to be taken lightly!
All in all, I'm doing pretty good. Hope y'all didn't miss me too much... I'm back now, so-RUN!!
Until next time... CIAO!!

And I can't spell apparently! Too late in the day I guess. Hang in there.
@Chad - Hahahaha... Yeah that P90X stuff is pretty intense! I didn't think the Yoga would be so bad; boy was I forgetting where I found it!!
