Apparently, I have picked up some sort of stomach bug. I was not feeling really well yesterday morning, but around 3 PM, I was really not feeling well for several hours. I did not feel comfortable going anywhere - the best place was to stay in bed because I was closer to the bathroom.
You never know when these things will hit or even why. I think that is the part that bothers me the most - why? What caused this? How could I better protect myself? Bottom line, it just happens and you have to let the virus run its course. Unfortunately, that really bothers me because it only brings me down. I realize I had scheduled yesterday to be a rest day, but I had not envisioned having to deal with this.
My back and knee are still smarting over my recent activities. I made the right decision not to see one of my favorite bands, Garbage. A friend went to the show and I posted I would be there, but I knew my back would not have handled standing room only. Response was that I should wear cushy shoes.
That is basically all I do wear. I shook my head. It is okay, but I get those memes about how people do not understand the pain you cannot see. No one can see the pain, let alone feel it. I think you do not get it until you have gone through it. I know when I was a child I never understood why my mom was always so sick. You cannot see it or feel it, so everything looks normal. The reality is - it is not normal.
Maybe, later today, my system will return to normal and my back pain and such would be better. I know I have gotten several suggestions on what I should do about the back and knee. I am going to the doctor and I was doing PT. I need to head back to PT, but if I can relapse on the pain, maybe PT is not working.
I really do not know. I just know that the whole situation is depressing me. I try to stay positive outside of the apartment, but when I am alone, things seem to deteriorate. However, I keep trudging along because there has to be a time where it will get better. I just have to have faith.
