Reading your message made me cry. Just give > (((((Elena)))))) Don't cry! I'll be ok, I'm a trooper Actually, I feel really good today! I actually rode my exercise bike for 20 minutes! Wooohoo! I am having a hard time changing my mindset though. My old way of thinking was that if I didn't workout for an hour and walk out of the gym sore and dripping in sweat, I didn't do anything. I would have never been satisfied with a 20 minute ride on my exercise bike! I have had friends warn me not to go all gung ho when my energy starts to come back. I think for once I'll listen So, I did my little 20 minutes and I am happy about that. It is a lot more than I have been doing! I think I'll take the kids for a walk later this afternoon and maybe try to clean this place up a bit. I have been slacking on my housework! It feels good to have some energy back My kids do know what is going on. Well, they know that mommy is " sick " and gets tired a lot, so they need to clean up their toys! LOL! I have told my daughter that I am going to be fine (I didn't want her thinking it was something fatal) but that some days I will not feel very well and I will need her to help me. So far the kids have been trying to behave themselves, kind of Elena, I am so sorry your back is still causing you so much pain!! I really hope your new doctors can offer you some relief!! I know how frustrating and depressing it is to be in pain! I'll be praying for you that you find something to help you! Try your hardest to keep a positive mind set. I know it isn't easy, especially when you are in pain, but it really does help. If you believe that things will get better, they will Write me anytime and please keep us all updated on what the doctors say!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2001 Report Share Posted September 28, 2001 Way to go, . A lot of us could learn a LOT from you. I hope you will soon have an explanation for the pain you have been in. Then you can concentrate on relieving that pain. I know it couldn't have been easy hearing the person you trust to help you say bad things about taebo but you know how doctors can be. LOL Hang in there, take things SLOW and you'll be ok. Jenni who didn't copy and paste and hopes you know why I'm saying way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone can do that. Nix the housework! It is not important. Elena, who is glad is having a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
