This may not mean a lot to most people, but what I was able to do today made my heart almost burst with happiness!
Before my treatment, I had a horrible pain in the center of my chest that never ever went away. Every Breath I take hurts. When I did anything to physical it hurt to the point of tears. Any time I went for a walk the pain would worsen and I would try not to breath. Even just walking to the mail box.
Today I danced to my absolute favorite Richard Simmons DVD like I normally do. I use to be able to only accomplish a few warm ups, and some slow songs, before the pain in the center of my chest would become intolerable. ......
After taking my medications for a month… Breathing doesn’t hurt. The warm ups were becoming easier…and TODAY… I danced TWO fast songs, and the pain didn’t become so intolerable that I had to quit. Its still there, but its only a dull ache, one I can manage with. I was killin it my living room I was dancing so fast and so hard, it was amazing! I was able to inhale quickly and not want to die. I actually had to stop because I was so pooped! Not because of pain!!!!
That is a huge huge step for me I can not wait to tell my doctor next week!!! I’m beyond excited! I just want to hug him and say thank you!
Now that I’ve rested for a little while, my chest is a little soar, but not like it would be. I could even raise my arms over my head…this is something that is very difficult because the arthritis in my collar bones are so severe. My joints are to stiff…..
I feel rejuvenated…. I feel like I want to start jogging again! But lets not over do it :)
