A Month Ago Or So

I remember mentioning about my arthritis on both knees and how I was doing so good since I started exercising at Curves almost 2 years ago. How I had gone from using a cane to being able to exercise and walk really good without any pain. Well they were better, now they are back to haunt me. I mean the pain is so bad when I walk, that I'm back to using a cane. Each step I take is like someone is trying to break both my knee bones. I don't hate, but this I do.

I was in bliss because I was finally getting back into painting, oh I still am. I do remember though saying that "It never fails, when thing are going good, something always happens." You get the picture. Well it does. Only this time it's not going to stop me from indulging in what is in my soul.I remember mentioning that second sentence to my friend yaya and she said, "when that happens, tell the devil to get out."

So besides pain pills, that's what I am going to do. :)

There are 3 steps to get outside and then another maybe 50 feet or so to get into my studio. I tried today and I couldn't raise my foot to walk down the steps. What a bummer! I took a pain pill and tried again later and I was able to move around a little better and managed to get to the studio in little itsy bitsy footsteps. Hahaha. It's really not funny, its crying painful. It's not going to stop me. Today my esposo called from work and said that this guy who worked where he does was now able to use a wheelchair. He got in a really bad accident about two years ago and it crippled him. Well he is out and about and going back to school, driving his fixed up car to get around in and he is not letting anything get him down. So I counted my blessings.

So on that note, it could be worse and it's not. So hey, I feel the pain but we do what we have to do in life.
