Never Take Being Active For Granted!
As many of you know, I'm having some major health challenges. From dealing with a large herniation in my neck, it has been recommended that I have spine surgery. Yikes!!
I'm in the process of pursuing conservative treatments. Physical therapy and a course of epidural steroid injection protocol. Due to the size and location in my neck, I have to go in the hospital for the day for the injection procedure.
I crave activity like I used to crave Krispy Kreme donuts pre-op! I miss being active. Of course, working out at the gym, taking walks are big things I miss. I miss the little daily activities that I am limited from doing. The lesson in all of this is that I will never again take being active for granted. I know for us as former morbidly obese, activity wasn't a craving. For me now, it is. I look forward to the days of enjoying my walks, going to the gym, and the general activity of errands and walking around the mall with my family. It is the big things but it is more the small things.
From now on, my lesson is that activity is a "GET TO" rather than an "I have to" and that's a wonderful gift for a lesson!
