Week 31

Image
The apocalypse continues. The world is effectively shut down.  Had an interesting week to say the least. The arm I use to help sit up, pull myself into a standing position, partially dislocated and I had to pop it back it in. Needless to say I’m tender.  This has made it very hard to stand this week as I hurt my arm Monday. That hasn’t keep me from trying and I did manage to make it up right a few days.  Been trying to increase the amount of vegetables I eat with meals and focus less on meats.  Considering I hurt my shoulder I’ve been relatively upbeat. No real emotional breakdowns this week.  As always feel free to comment below. 

Week 30

Not a zombie yet in this apocalypse. Had a pretty good week other than somehow rolling my ankle.  Had therapy appointment this week went over all the changes going on at the clinic right now. Also went over an anxiety worksheet I had filled out.  Kept working on trying to eat better and working out within my limits.  As always feel free to comment below. 

Week 29

Another week gone. There were highs and lows this week. But I survived.  First the lows, I was standing up on Monday morning and my legs gave out. I fell half on and half off the bed. Took me over a half hour to get all the way in the bed and my legs and back were sore for days. To keep it interesting, on Thursday I was trying to sit up and one of the dogs got in the way and I twisted my back hurting it again. I had an anxiety attack Friday night that kept me up most of the night.  Now for the good stuff, someone gave me a brand new rolling walker. Other than Friday I stayed positive and kept my mood in check. Couldn’t stand up a lot this week after falling, but I did do leg exercises on the bed as well as breathing exercises. Ate mostly home cooked food. Drank lots of water.  As always feel free to leave any comments down below. 

Week 28

It’s me again! This was a good week emotionally and I’d say fair on the physical front.  Met with my therapist and went over ways to help myself or someone else during an anxiety attack. Started some breathing exercises this week too.  Physically I have felt very weak there were a couple of days where I couldn’t stand at all. But I pressed on and will continue to do leg exercises to strengthen my legs.  I tried to eat well this last week, although, there may have been some leftover birthday cake that had to be eaten. I know I have plenty of room for improvement in the food department.  That’s all for this week. As always feel free to comment below. 

Week 27

Image
Had a pretty good week with the exception of breaking my walker after my doctors appointment.  Stood up most days and for the most part I didn’t have to pull myself up which to me was huge. Being able to stand unassisted is a huge step forward.  Been keeping a handle on portions for the most part. Probably overdid it some on my birthday. But hey what are birthdays for? My depression and anxiety seem to be leveling out with the new meds my doctor put me on so hopefully between that and therapy I can learn to handle my emotions.  As always feel free to comment below. 

Week Twenty-six

Had a pretty good week all things considered.  Stood up most days and did leg exercises to get my legs going again.  Worked on portion control and eating healthier.  Met with my therapist and went over anxiety and depression control techniques.  As always feel free to comment below. 

Week Twenty-five

Image
Had a pretty good week. Did my best to stay on top of things.  Stood up most days trying to stand for longer times.  The anxiety and depression were mild this week. That is until last night when I had bad nightmares and insomnia. But still overall better.  The good home cooked food keeps on coming and I’m trying to cut my portions down.  As always feel free to leave any comments below.
