I have a pinched nerve and can’t feel my left hand (and can’t
touch-type for the first time in forever!); I’m switching from an
anti-depressant with a nasty withdraw; I have sinusitis for the second time in this
still young winter—because of a deviated left septum for which I’m going under
the knife Tuesday morning. And of the
five people in my household, I’m the healthy one!
Yes, it’s that time of year, when illness runs rampant, and I’ll
glad to be out of the contagion area as often as possible—yet another reason I
love going to Five Seasons. In years
past, it always seemed like I was the first to go down with a holiday bug. Not just once did I spend Christmas Eve on my
snifflin’ own, while the rest the fam made merriment with our extended kin. But not this year! With all the body redeeming exercising and
healthy eating, I have (touch wood) staved off illness, and it was me and my
never-sick-but-now-sick dad who made the trek to Christmas Eve. I seem to have developed a boost in my
immunity which I need to continue (fingers crossed, popping mega-doses of
Vitamin C) through my operation time, early Tuesday.
And when the doctor removes the packing from my nose,
possibly as early as the next day, I’ll have to a hopefully brief interlude during
while I’ll have to take it easy. I can’t
imagine a doctor who wouldn’t return a willing patient to light walking, and
before I can run again I’ll walk and walk, all the while working with my Five Season’s
team to address what is cause of my lingering pinched nerve. Maybe just resting will resolve the
issue. Then, sometime is the new year, I
will get clearance to do full exercise, and the new and improved 2015 Me—with a
trimmed down exterior, more confidant handling, and a redesigned breathing
system—will give it all I got, and I’ll be ready for all challenges.
I’ve just got to stay well…
