I miss being able to go for my daily walks with Sebastian at night, or
by myself in the morning, every day.
I used to put on my stinky walking shoes, my mp3 player, and my hand weights that are actually self defense products.
In one of the weights, is some mace, and it's easily accessible with your thumb, you just flip and press, bam, the would be attacker gets shot in the face with mace.
I always carried them with me, not that anyone around here has been attacked while walking or jogging in awhile, but I always just felt better carrying them with me.
I just miss being able to go for walks, it was my way of trying to stay in shape and lose weight, but now I can't do that and it is really bumming me out.
I know that eventually I'll get there, that this will all be fixed and stuff, but right now it's totally bumming.

Dear Kat,
Oh, how many times I have said that phrase, "I wanna walk!"
After my fusion in the Thoracic area, my 2nd back surgery, I came out of it with the inability to walk. I do miss walking my last dog left out of the 3. I see her round tummy and feel bad. You know how they like walks, and even THAT makes me feel bad!!
I have never seen a patient or met anyone that has had the entire spine fused! Could you let me know what it was that led to that? I did read that you had the cervical to Thoracic 3 fused, then I see your entire spine full of rods, screws, and maybe a leftover screwdriver?? (Just trying to keep it light)....
I will be back to visit you here, hope you can stop by and visit my blog sometime hun.
From one pain patient to another,
Gentle Hugs,
Shauna :-)
P.S. Found you on Wellsphere...where are your badges girl??? ;-)~
I hope you are able to walk again soon! I need to start again as well, but it's so hard with it being so cold here. Still...need to do it. I can bundle up and make the best of it.
I agree, it's a great way to get in shape, have some 'me' time (or time for you and Sebastian to bond), and clear the head.
