Tolerance/Intolerance - Wednesday's Chip

[caressa]

Today it is my plan to go to my Al-Anon meeting, go to my chiropractor's office to pick up an orthepedic pillow and have an adjustment on my leg and hip, plus find time to go to the drug store for my gout medication.

The pain has been difficult to tolerate and I have had to use my cane and wrap my knee for support. I have been very intolerant by the fact that my feet haven't been swollen that much but the pain has been twice as bad. I will be glad to see my rheumatologist on the 6th of October.

Again, intolerance is not being able to get my own way and do what I want to do, when I want to do it. It is learning to be accepting in the moment and taking this as they appear. I have been very active since last Friday and a lot could just be, I'm moving too fast, too often and it is time to slow down; or it could just be "that's life! deal with it, you're not getting any younger do you think all your parts are going to last forever!"

Glad to se you are talking out all of the options. Intolerance of our bodies not functioning like they used to...very normal part of geting older. We all have health issues. I Am not happy that my osteoporosis is so bad that I have to give myself daily shots. The sooner I ccepted that was how it woudl be for the next 2 years, the more tolerant I was of those darn shots. ACCEPTANCe was the key for me with this one. I kicked and screamed that i did not want to have the shots. But then I calmly accepted and was OK with it. It's not something I look forward to, but I get it over with and dont think about it until the next morinng. LOL

I have to modify6 my exercises and my areobics classes because of it. But i am HOPINg that one day the bone density will be rebuilt enough I can once again do jumping jacks, do crunches, do spine arches, etc.

Thanks for the chip. I was barely home at all yesterday, so its NEw to me this morning.

I'll inventory yesterday...LOL I was pretty intolerant..I admit it!

I don't LIKE when people do silly things that seem like 'common sense' things to me. And I can get impatient and intolerant of the folks who (IMHO) aren't using their brains. I wanna whap 'em and say "DUH!" LOL But I don't get to, cuz that's not very loving or tolerant.

I will give that I kept my opinion to myself and instead did some educating and teaching--but that didn't stop my brain from engaging and wanting to whap 'em. LOL
