[Lo...] Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi all, the morning air was nice and I decided before I drove to work to take a short walk by myself. No assistance, no stroller (I have a toddler), just me. I felt rocky but I did it. I felt so accomplished when I got to my SUV. For some people it might be very short...for me that was a huge accomplishment. If it is not super hot this evening I will take another one.

[do...] Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Wonderful. It is great when we can have enough courage to start out with a short walk. What a sense of accomplishment! One foot.in front of the other. A step forward. Then two. We can overcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Lo...] Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 I didn't make it out yesterday evening. Took a good friend to the hospital...she was ill. But walking around that place was something else! Today I feel slammed...I hate this feeling. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bu...] Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Sometimes I think having a great moment is so uplifting that when the next day sucks it's a really hard fall. Remember good moments (days, weeks, months!) are ahead. I hope your friend is okay and that you're feeling better today. It's a testament to your strength that in the midst of this you could be there for a friend in need. It may have been hard - but I'd call that a huge victory, even if it wiped you.

[Lo...] Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks Buttercup...she is feeling better. I had slight anxiety in the hospital but I watched tv, laughed with the doctors and then we were gone. Today I'm hanging in there...rocky sensation...just wish this mess would go away. God has been testing me...praying that one day I am free of w/d and soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Lo...] Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 As messed up as I felt last night we took another walk in the parking lot of my complex right before the storm. I held onto my son's little hand for dear life on the way back to the building. Strange...as I was walking away I was off but not as off as walking back. Today I feel bad so I don't know about a walk...a friend is actually going to help me with errands so I don't have to do them alone or even get out the car :-( Just wanted to report my walk...

[Lo...] Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks GMIT...it is so frightening at times. I feel like I am going to fall sideways. The pits. Okay I will try...I swear if the anxiety/spatial issues all went away my balance would be back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[do...] Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi dear: I found walking to and clean eating have helped me get better. Even short walks. I too felt like I was going to fall over many many times when walking. It does get better. Hang in. Domestic Advisor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Lo...] Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Oh yeah...I eat very clean...have no choice due to medical stuff. I want to start juicing too. I hate the feeling of tipping over and what not. Not cool at all. I would have walked last night but it stormed outside...however we were parked a bit down from our front door (I live in an apt complex). So I count that as my walk...plus lugging bags from the store and holding an umbrella and my sons hand! WHEW! It's strange because when I wake up I feel totally fine...a twitch here and there. As soon as I sit up my head feels like it's swimming and when I get up to walk...all hell breaks loose :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Lo...] Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks GMIT! I just took a longer walk now. I saw an email at work that said, "FREE FOOD DOWN THE HALL" hallways here are loooooooooooooong. I went down 3 halls and some steps. Got some food for my son and I for dinner tonight and walked back. I stayed close to items and walls. It was a killer...but ooooooh so worth it! We will get our grub on! Mission accomplished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Lo...] Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks GMIT!!!! I will keep doing what I can do...I heard a sermon the other day and the pastor said, "Be encouraged...encourage yourself!" I have to keep encouraging myself. And I love the encouragement from my BB's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
