1am and I’m awake. Woke up due to some horrible pain in my right SI, same old chronic pain flaring up something fierce. Old me would have gotten up, eaten a pint of ice cream, taken a handful of Tylenol and gotten a heating pad. New me got a hip rub from hubby, stretched and self massaged, and now I’m journaling again. I intend on making a new rice sock tomorrow or at least very soon. I know what is happening in there, in my hip I mean, and I know why. I also knew I would experience this degree of pain once I got in shape and worked out this much. What has changed is my mind: I am surrendering to the pain. Old me would have done many things to distract myself from it, most of all I would have eaten without hesitation. My plan now is to physically treat my pain, stay in bed to avoid the temptation of food, and starting tomorrow I will amp up my self care regime including epsom salt baths and moist heat. I am a hurtin doggie. It’s such deeply sharp and agonizing pain, and I have no position that is comfortable. Of course I work tomorrow.... I’m concerned I will be tired and sore in the morning. Tylenol with my coffee I guess. Thanks for reading.
