Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hi Paget, Sorry to hear about your recent setback but am glad that it helped you become further aware of what is needed to live a pain-free existence. I too have the same problem. I used to be a jogger, logging 20 miles per week but haven't bee able to excercise much beyond mild walking a couple of days a week. Talk about frustrating! But, it beats the alternative... I have to cut my grass every week (I would love to hire someone to do this for me but, since I am no longer working and am on limited funds, cannot justify the added expense to the family budget) but I am only able to do this job maybe twice a month. Luckily, my neighbors are all aware of my illness and are understanding about it but this really makes feel badly; like I was a lzy bum or something. Anyway, I too find that whenever I do cut my lawn, it takes me up to 3-4 days to recover from it. And it's a small lawn! Hang in there Paget. As we live with this illness the more we learn about ourselves and what we are permitted to do at any given time. You may have to quit the " energizer bunny " routine however...
