It's a beautiful Morning

Today is a lovely day. It is only 6:40 a.m. and I already know this. Wanna know how? It is 50 something degrees outside. It can't get better than that right now. Wanna know why else I am thinking it's going to be lovely? My Monkey and I will be going to the gym. Today will be the first time since late June that we are going. You see, in June I was a rockstar. I was going to the gym every day that I was not at a doctor's appointment. That was until I being the rockstar that I am, stepped off the treadmill, proceeded to walk to get sanitizer, got dizzy and then proceeded to tumble backwards, landing myself on my rear end, legs flying, on a treadmill. That's right. On. My. Back. At this point, I was not a rockstar. Try to play that one off. Well, I tried and you can't.

What caused this you are asking? Well at 7:30 in the morning when I was going to the gym, it was already a sticky 90 degrees. Everyday. I would load Monkey in the Tahoe and the time and energy it takes to do that would fatigue me to the point that I was doing tumbles like Carrie Strug Mary Catherine Gallagher from Saturday Night Live. This is just one of the blessings of MS. It keeps you humble and it keeps you out of the heat to prevent such incidents.

So yes. Today will be the first day back. By now everybody will have erased the image of me tumbling back, in all my glory, and I will be good to go because of the cool weather. I'll let you know how it goes.

Oh and get ready for multiple postings today. I have a lot to say.

  1. Enoy but be careful....moderation in all things. I have fallen on treadmill. What can I blame that on??? Maybe old age or lack of coordination or bad treadmill.
