Well, today is Tuesday and I am still alive and improving. Life is great for me, but pain is an everyday thing. Maybe I tolerate it better, but it still bothers me. I can still feel it on stairs. A broken tailbone is never pleasant to have. I still have one pelvic area that hurts with every move. Maybe I am more tolerant than I used to be because I don't get down about it.
I got to talk to a couple of people today that I have not seen in a while. One was at work and one on the phone. Both made me feel good even though one of them did not know about my fall or the time I spent trying to recover. I also had a discussion with one of the people in purchasing. She was running behind and was going to be off the next two days. She was stressed out but handled everything well. I makes me feel good to know people that deal with my type of stress load, too. I know some days are so full of things that must get done and deal with them as well as I can. I leave work every day with the thought of knowing I did as much as I could. I deal with so many people every day. Some are in our facility and some do business with me. I have learned to treat people with all the respect they have deserved. You treat them right and they will usually do the same to you. I would like to think I was always like this, but I don't know for sure. My mind is still trying to figure some things out and HOPEFULLY is improving day to day. Betty tells me quite regularly that my mind is not all there. I need to hear this even though it sounds depressingly. I have to know how I am doing from her point of sight. My mind thinks I am OK, but she will tell me where I really am. This is one of the MANY things about her that I love. The last thing I need at this point is to be lied to. I can really tell my mind status when I see someone I know but can't come up with their name.
It still hurts me to ride a bicycle but I ride one at work. It hurts to get me leg up and over the seat, but will not get better by not doing it. Climbing and reaching still get me, too. I know this limits me on my work because these are a "normal" part of my job. I have friends out there that care enough about me to help or at least offer to help. This is part of my life, now. I have to be thankful to God for helping me stay in this world. I love you all and hope I did not bore anyone with information that is unhelpful.
