Aside from many things I will just spare anyone who reads this, I am walking, riding and doing some swimming again. Unfortunately I cannot blame all my weight gain on the Ankle injury I sustained this past year, but it seems to be the one thing I hold most relevant in my mind. So my new focus has been to try to get the gain reduced as best I can. One tells me that I didn't get it all overnight but it seems as though I noticed it overnight and would love to rid my being of it the same. However unfortunate it is, it realistically doesn't work that way.
So when the cold arrived I was introduced to a new discomfort. Cold takes a different toll on an extremity that now bears metal that it hadn't in the past. I can say that I have recovered to a certain extent at this point but that is not to state that I am pain free. Every day seems to bring a different feeling that I may not have experienced in the months past. There are cracks and pops and aches and pains of all sorts. As I have concluded with injuries in the past years, no bones of any sort within my body have (nor will I presume) ever be the same as pre-injury. Even though I would assume that any physician would do their best to put one back together as they were prior, I dont think that it is possible to get anyone back to 100%, or new some may state. As much as I hate to admit it, I will never be the same.
The most recent dilemna is that my back pain has somehow managed to creep itself back into my life in what seems like an overnight incident. Being that I would like to assume that I know better than that, I could chalk this up to about a week and a half of excersize and little rest. Typically when our bodies have had a little too much they seem to have a unique way of telling us "That's Enough!" I am now experiencing the recurrence of my bulging disc issues that I experienced about or around two years ago. At 38 it seems so abnormal to have to walk around feeling like I am about the ripe old age of 65-70yrs young. However this evening I made a stop at the local ER to see if there was anything that they could do to assist me in walking a little more straight. A little muscle relaxer and pain reliever seem to be their suggestion, I only hope that with a few more doses that it starts to work the way they intended it to. I will certainly be on the horn in the morning to try to get some added attention to this matter.
Back on thanksgiving day, my littlest brother and I had the awesome opportunity to be captured riding our mountain bikes at a local ORV area by a photographer with much talent. This guy is working diligently to create a glimpse of his talent to be exposed in the near future for all to see. I will share that at a more opportune time for all to peek, once it is finalized. However I thought it would be cool to show a little about what was captured (and the fact that I was at least attempting to get back into the old game):
Just a minor setback currently but I should be back on track very soon and continue on with weight loss. It was much easier some time ago when that was the only thing that I had to focus on. Seasons change and so does everything else, including age. I never realized long ago how difficult some things could be and could get at times. Even with having to learn how to bit my tongue so frequently I have also had to learn how to tone so many different aspects of down in many different ways.
Hopefully in the near future I will continue to use this 'blog' for many different aspects of these days that we are moving through today. Since I never really know just how much you can expose of your personal perspective on things I will be rather selective in what I share with many persons (being that its more than many, assuming that anyone would actually discover this and have the interest to spend some time here). I must say that I am a little inspired by some of the endeavors of those around me to be a little more exposed or involved in something that I could try to share with others as we travel through all aspects of all things living.
