Over the past week we have had three good snow storms. Since Thursday ended up being a snow day for
the kids and well, I wasn’t going to go anywhere which meant I would have to
miss daily visit to the gym. The law
here requires snow removed from sidewalk within 24 hours of the snow stopping,
so I figured I would I get my workout done by shoveling the snow! Last night we
had a pseudo blizzard which messed up my shoveling job, so I was back out there
this morning getting the snow off the sidewalk. Back in the fall the leaves
were falling by the bucket, after Halloween my kids and I were racking up the
leaves. I could do two rake strokes and
then I had to sit down. My kids had to
do most of the work because the stupid flare up would not let me. I was happy to spend a half hour shoveling the
snow. When I was done, I came inside
changed into dry warm clothes and happily continued on with my day. This morning after re-shoveling, I hopped in
my vehicle and headed off to my day full of appointments.
I hate that I was so sick for so long, but in a way I am
glad I was. I had the opportunity to
fight like hell to do menial simple everyday things, and now that I can do them
almost like a normal person it makes me feel like I am doing so much more.
Above my current physical level, I still can’t say enough
about my family. There is no way I would
be able to stand on my feet like I have been.
My kids have gone above and beyond being my little doctors/therapist (my
younger kid loves setting up my TENS unit).
My sister has been my rock, my strength, she has been sister to me and
mom to my kids. My friends have been
amazing emotional support and knowing they are there and offering to help means
the world!
