With each step, pain in the heel, knees, and hips, not drop to the floor pain, thanks to shots I get periodically and medication I take daily, but still, slows things down a bit. It takes a lot of patience, a lot. Why?
I used to, at one time, walk 20 blocks going and coming back without any problems, briskly, I could go out twice a day walk 10 blocks each way, then in the evening to to the Village with my friend/s have dinner, go listen to some music, and then walk around the village for a while and then back home. I was a spitfire in the physical sense, though in the vocal sense, poetry and songwriting arena I still am. However, those days of walking 20 blocks etc... are long gone. Today after six blocks my heels hurt so much and my knees felt sore to where I was limping. Still, my reaction was, thought was "Buy thicker insoles, or add another layer of insoles, and walk slower." I was still frustrated that I had to slow down, but then I started breathing, thinking of the Lord and I got peaceful, calm, and all was well in the world. It takes a heck of a lot of patience to deal with the fibro etc. day to day and some days where when I get up from the couch, just walking from the couch to the kitchen is painful, quite painful, but I have learned to breathe through it and be greatful for all I have in my life and the direction I am blessed for my life to be taking in terms of re-discovering Catholicism and all its' truth, wisdom. Quite amazing all the wisdom God's Church has to offer and the healing of spirit and soul our Lord provides.
Shalom and Amen
