Had a horrible night. Hurt all over and arms felt weird. Hard to describe but at one point I had to get up and do push-ups against the sink. I felt sick and just awful. Could not get to sleep and when I did I kept waking up. No matter what side I tried to sleep on it didn't work. I feel like my body needs to get moving and detox.
The morning showed promise. Went to the doctor and picked up a script for Tramadol. I have been trying to get by without it but I don't think I am ready yet. Once I took some and rested a bit I began to feel better. Bu late morning I was ready to get moving. I did a bit of yoga on the back porch. I did modified warrior 1 and 2 and humble warrior. My downward facing dog was modified using the back of a chair and I did chair pose and modified tree. It seemed to work and felt better almost immediately. I been paying attention to my gait and try to walk with my knees closer together. It seems to be working. By the afternoon I went to the park with my dog to meditate. I found the perfect secluded sheltered spot by the river. I took the rest of the day easy and monitored my walking.
I am feeling much more positive. I was quite disheartened last night and thought I would never get back. I was hoping to make a chair yoga class today but missed it. I am glad I took the time today to build up to it and plan to take it on Friday, I can't wait until next week to start. I need to get moving, I will do a some yoga tomorrow and continue to take it slow. I have an appointment to start PT on Monday but hopefully getting back to my yoga practice will make it unnecessary.
Stay tuned!
Namaste
