So my foot pains have not gone away; they have gotten worse. I went to the doctor and he decided to give me a cortisone shot to help with the pain. Well, ouch – the shots made my foot feel as though it was on fire. Not exactly conducive to walking and an active life style. It turns out I have a neuroma on the bottom of my foot. A neuroma is a growth of nerves.
Not only was I dealing with the pain, but I had to stop doing my activities. My exercise is my way of dealing with stress. But instead of being really upset about this, I chose the positive route and focused on what IS possible. There is nothing wrong with my arms. I can focus on upper body work. I can do modified yoga poses. I can even do cardio of a sorts by sitting on my make-shift stool in my exercise room. It felt so good to get my blood moving.
How have you focused on what is possible?

Nancy, your positive attitude is inspiring! You have chosen not to let a painful situation debilitate you and instead look to to the possibilities. I am not very good with dealing with physical pain – I cringe at the thought of even a bad headache! So I really take heart from your post!

Great inspiring message Nancy. I hope your foot can be healed. Wish I had all your ambition. I thought Ken was Mr. Dairy Queen! Have donuts consumed him now, or is it rather, he is consuming the donuts.

Hi Kathi,
Thanks so much for your comment. And you are correct, Mr. Ken is Mr. Dairy Queen. He is also Mr. Donut. He is a man of many hats. 🙂
