Pool

The pool has been truly been a great workout. Overall, I feel so much better.

Only think I really notice is that my ankles hurt a bit and that my foot acts up more. :(

Overall, my health is a lot better.

Crazy weekend

I fully intended on posting more this week for Dystonia Awareness, but once again life steps in. Had an unexpected last couple day. Kinda rough on the Dystonia. However, I did get back in the pool this afternoon :D Helps everything seem better. Back is still a little stiff and left foot is going crazy - turning in today. I took an extra Clonezapm and waiting for it to kick it so I can sleep.

Tomorrow is going to be good and bad. Driving 2 hours to LA tomorrow to meet up with a friend for a BBQ and hanging out at the pool. Then, taking my 3year old to Disneyland for a couple hours after. Will be a blast but never easy on the body.

Well, I should try to sleep again. Eh:(

Dystonia Awareness Week June 6-12

It's Dystonia Awareness Week. We have to share our stories and spread the word. I'm going to try to post something daily this week to inform others as to what this disorder means to my life. Everyday can present it's new challenges. I woke up very stiff this morning making for a slow wake up. I have missed my workout the past 2 days and can tell a difference.

I have been noticing that my right foot is starting to be affected more. I have a couple toes that are starting to tighten. So frustrating to see you body go. Makes me sad at times. But as I have said before, the dystonia has made me who I am. I am so much stronger than I could ever imagine. I have had to learn so much.  Giving up some of the things you love can direct you to new areas.
