[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 158951, member: 3388"] Week Twenty -One already - I kept meaning to respond to week twenty... However, the time just flew by... Anyway, I don't really think I've accomplished too much the past couple of weeks. I've been faithfully going to my physical therapy/ultrasound therapy appointments. I was doing really well until Friday. My ankle started swelling again. So, I didn't walk Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. I took mega doses of ibuprofen and kept icing my ankle. I "babied" it the best I could while dealing with many difficult child and easy child issues. Tuesday, I walked for about half an hour. My ankle seems to be doing better today. However, I'm going to give it a rest. Tomorrow I have a PT appointment. I think I'll try to take it easy until then. I know I've made some good progress as far as this injury healing. It's just frustrating because it is so SLOW!!! It's kind of like taking care of difficult children - One step forwards and two steps backwards... Anyway, I really am grateful that my archilles tendon is healing. I'm lucky because my PT and doctor keep telling me that I WILL be able to run again. I've been doing a good job as far as healthy eating is concerned. I'm more aware of what I eat now. I've added even more fruits and vegetables to my meals and snacks. I know this has been helping me maintain my current weight. Emotionally, I've been taking care of myself the best I can. I'm still taking a bit of time for myself each and every day. I'm still getting out more - ALONE!!! This has helped me quite a bit. I'm finally practicing what I've been telling others to do for so long - "ME" time is no longer an afterthought - It is an important and necessary part of my day. Without it, I truly think I would lose my sanity!!! If my injury served one useful purpose, it was to remind me that I need to take care of me as well as I try to take care of the rest of my family. However, I still battle the guilt feelings when I take time for myself. Intellectually I know this is ridiculous - I just need to get over this emotionally. Sharon (LDM), I'm so proud of your accomplishments!!! Not only have you lost over 30 lbs, but also you are exercising regularly. I totally agree with you - There is nothing more important than your health!!! Barbara, How are you doing? I haven't been around much lately but I know you've been having a difficult time giving up smoking. Thinking of you... Well got to go. I'm thinking of all of you and hoping everyone has a HEALTHY day... WFEN [/QUOTE]
