One Goal
I have one goal for next week…well, I have a few but this one is the topic of today. Next week I will not hurt myself.
Yea, so I did it again this week. I did something normal and ended up getting hurt. I don’t like that I thought about having my own personal medical shed. It is a big exaggeration, yes, but still, a thought that came to mind.
The story goes like this:
I was getting ready for bed. I was walking around my room and making my way towards my bed. Now when I get to my bed I usually hop-up. It is a taller bed and not easily attainable by just sitting on it. So I hopped up. Well, I tried anyway, I didn’t make it all the way. My foot was killing me! Golly Wally, it hurt so bad! Turns out, I sprained my foot while I was trying to hop onto my bed. So yea, I am feeling great!
That last sentence was sarcasm…if you didn’t catch that 🙂
I was so disappointed in myself. I still am but not as bad, I have started to move on. At the moment, however, I was so upset with myself! How on earth did I sprain my foot while doing something I do daily, if not multiple times a day. I don’t get it. I don’t understand it.
So yes, my goal for next week is to not hurt myself.
I have depended on my mom and aunt again this week to help me prepare the house. Though I truly love them and appreciate them SO much, I want to be able to do my work. I love when they come to help but I prefer they come on their terms, not me calling or texting saying “I can’t walk.” or “I can’t stand on my foot.” The complaining is getting very tiresome. I am not used to depending on others, I don’t really like it. Asking for help is getting easier, however.
Today I am doing things on my own. I am bringing breakfast upstairs, I am cleaning a room. I can do this. My foot was MUCH better last night. I went to the Chiropractor and she was stretching and messing with my foot. Last night it felt almost back to normal! It was swollen sure but I could walk on it with very little limp!!! It was very exciting 🙂 This morning is a different story however, it hurts again. We are going to do it then elevate and ice after breakfast.
Yes, I have been taking care of it not just ignoring it. I will elevate it, stay off of it when I can, ice it. The whole thing 🙂
Ok, I have to go, breakfast should have been started a few minutes ok. YEEK!
