Continued Baby Steps Mood
Wednesday, June 11, 2008 | A General Update story

Many said that this DBS process would be difficult, frustrating and lengthy, and they were right.    I wish the first week back did not yield such dramatic results.   My expectations are so high and I feel I can do much more than my body will allow.   My version of PD did not give much pain.   Recovery with DBS facilitated so many more types of pain.  My left foot hurts all the time especially while standing, the inside in my right quad aches, right hand has twinges of pain and I pulled my lower back doing yoga and I must have yet another exercise related injury in my hip.   I am sure this is all due to moving much faster than I used to and simply doing too much in such a short time.

 

Go figure!  I need to stop going so fast and stop trying to do too much too quickly.
