Have had lots of therapy and am aware of how I move my spine, how I get from here to there.<br /><br />All that said, there can be something very spiritual about dealing with chronic illness and pain - and some essential truths you come to understand about life, its fragility, the common thread of being human.<br /><br />For you personally: rest, rest and pray. Then take small steps getting back into your 'normal' routine. Keep in mind that if you do one additional small thing each day, that is 100 more than you were able to do the day before.<br /><br />Glad to finally start reading your blog regularly.

And Susan S.... you...Thank you so much all of you.<br /><br />And Susan S.... you got me! You totally got me. This is a real hazard of the life of the preacher... always looking for the sermon. No leisure to simply be. And just take the damned pills. You are so right!<br /><br />Thanks all. I'm doing better today (though now that Susan mentions it...)Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812791378130572065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538801849812784311.post-53288915424181003602009-07-28T07:30:45.388-07:002009-07-28T07:30:45.388-07:00Here from MadPriest's prayer list post.
Pray...Here from MadPriest's prayer list post. <br /><br />Prayers are ascending. <br /><br />But please, as one who knows from pain, stop looking for the sermon and take the pills as prescribed. You don't lose the pain by taking half one only when you feel pain. And hot showers since I know that getting up and down in the tub is not the thing to do. And as Liz and Doxy say, don't forget to breathe.susan s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03679099677585214433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538801849812784311.post-66476561090692864672009-07-27T21:01:33.924-07:002009-07-27T21:01:33.924-07:00Oh, Honey.
