Pushing through the pain..I've always been good at that. I had four open heart surgeries growing up, three replacement surgeries for my defibrillator, and one gallbladder surgery. I know about pushing through the pain. I took no pain medicine during my last defibrillator surgery and my gallbladder surgery. I only took Tylenol in the evening to go to sleep. I don't like pain medicine. So, when it comes to pushing through the pain while walking, I'm getting better. I went a little further tonight...IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME...and I didn't realize it. I can't tell you the sense of accomplishment I feel. I am so proud of myself and what I have done so far. It's been a very long time since I have felt like this.
Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement. I will get around to all of you this weekend. TOMORROW's FRIDAY!
You are one tough lady!
