Life is Good!


Wow! It is really amazing to me what a difference a couple of weeks can make. About a month ago I was really on a downer. I don't think I dwelled on it too much in here, but I knew I had to do something, so I just hung on til my scheduled appointment with my doctor on the 14th. After talking with her, she agreed that things weren't quite right and increased my medication. I also talked to her about my hip trouble which seemed to be getting worse since I had started to exercise and so she had me set up some visits with a physical therapist. Well, is has been two weeks and I feel like a new person! I feel more motivated than I have in a long time. I'm not crying all the time and even if it is cloudy outside, I don't have a cloud over my head. Things just seem better, easier, less overwhelming. I am even feeling like my being "just a mom" is okay and important. My hip is feeling 100 % better and that is truly amazing, since it has been hurting since Annie was born. I have to use a foam roller of all things on my hip and using my body weight, I can stretch the ligament that runs all the way down the outside of my leg. It is so nice to not have that constant pain! Life is good, baby!
