I remember posting my messages just after my surgery and going from being awake to dozing off in the middle of a sentence. Being in that twilight zone was the safest place to be following the insult to my body (an ego). Today I feel better than I expected I would after my day yesterday. I am finding that my pain level remains fairly constant around a 1 or a 2 on my pain scale. I am not having the spikes like I was before but still taking 1 or 2 Tramadol, depending on how I feel. I am going longer with each dosage to help get me off of them.
During meditation today I kept of the contemplating that "I am a soul in a body" This perspective completely changes my view of my life's journey. Always thinking body first with a soul made me focus more on the physical experience. Focusing on soul first helps me be a bit more forgiving of the physical aspects of my journey and think if it as a vehicle to allow me to explore and experience the world. Made me think of the movie "Men in Black" and the "aliens" that were traveling in other bodies.
I finished physical therapy today. It was truly helpful I still have exercises to do and with the weather improving I am looking forward to getting back to the park and walking my dog. Until then I am thinking of a trip to Home Depot. They have carts that I can use to aid my walking and I have projects to do around here for which I need to shop.
Stay tuned!
Namaste
Donna
