Starting into my second week of exercise and meditation. I am happy to report that I never missed a day of exercising or meditation although my meditation was cut short by about ten minutes yesterday evening when my nurse arrived early. Not a problem as I'd already told myself that 10'/day meditating was my minimum goal. Did the full 20' today though.
I told my PT yesterday that I'd been doing well so we agreed that I should add some more exercises. I don't believe I mentioned that the first set were all done form a sitting position. Consequently, the new set from yesterday are all standing. I tried them out today and found that three repetitions was a bit much so started doing two. Will stick with that untilI I feel ready to do three. Oh, and I was doing a couple of neck stretches but felt that they were irritating my neck so my PT suggested I simply stop doing them. Done.
It is a fact that exercising actually decreases pain and, with the exception of my neck, I am finding that general body/joint pain, has in fact decreased over the last several days. I'm well on my way to becoming the new me, and it's only been a week! Life is good.
