Some days it is just too painful to write

I didn’t write a post for my challenge yesterday. I fought a migraine all morning and then went to see my physio. Why is it that when we decide to get rid of something painful, it gets worse before it gets better?

I’ve been enthusiastically working out with a trainer and a group from my community. It’s been fun but extremely challenging. It seems that I tried too hard to keep up and have actually hurt a tendon in my shoulder. It only really hurt when I planked or did any push-up related. Thanks to the physio is aches all the time now. My hope is that it will ease up soon, at least my headache is gone.

I thought that it would be easy enough to catch up with an extra post today. It wasn’t. I started writing a post about my memories attached to Guy Fawkes and it is not good.

I also realised that I’ve been putting off a commissioned piece on my heart surgery. That has been a painful labour of love today too. The surgery was 2 and a half years ago, but it’s still so painful to think about, let alone write about. Maybe I need to push through the pain so that I can actually heal.

That said, I better go give that piece the final push… then maybe I can save my firework memories piece too.
