CHECKING IN
Greetings from Gimpie in Connecticut, I have missed you all. I am still in a leg brace from my fall and enduring physical therapy three times a week. I hope to be out of the brace and starting over with a walking program in another two weeks. It is unbelieveable to me that I haven't gained weight after 4 solid weeks of not being able to move. Well, the scale may say that I'm dong okay but the body says otherwise -- everything has gotten very flabby and soft or is otherwise heading south. I will never, ever take my knees for granted again. I have thought often and hard about how debilitating life was when I was morbidly obese; that I could not walk then, let alone practice any sort of physical exercise, is unfathomable to me. Rather than laying around feeling sorry for myself, I have challenged myself to move in whatever way I could manage; exercise and physical movement has become my reason for living. Funny, that's how I used to feel about food -- only I really didn't know it at the time, or understand it. These are scary times in the world and it's difficult sometimes to think about my small little problems or challenges...but in the end, we're all that we have. And we can't do good in the world if we can't be good to ourselves. I just wanted to pop in and say hello. Your Reenie
Hi Girl! I've been thinking about you, hoping you are making a fast recovery. I'm glad to hear from you. You seem to be tackling this obstacle with your usual resolve and determination to grow from the experience. This always carries you through, and will not fail you this time. Life is a blessing that is doled out day by day--we use it the best we can because we can't save it up!
Love you!
Joy
