Injured. Not like a ‘take a week off, rest, get back to work next week’ type of injured, but more of a ‘this is going to take a couple of months and oh, by the way, be extremely painful’ type of injured. I don’t do ‘a few months off’ and I’ve recently discovered I don’t do extremely painful, either. On a scale of wimpy to strong, I put myself on the strong side, both physically and mentally, but this herniated disc has taken a toll on both. The inability to do normal things, things that everybody does: grocery shop, CHRISTMAS shop, do laundry, walk up and down the stairs – is bad. However, the inability to do my job the way I like it to be done combined with inability to train myself the way I like to is nothing short of depressing.
