Rise Up

Note: Start at "The Why"

Hello, Happy Thursday!!! I hope your Thursday is going well and it is dry where you live. Here it is rainy and cold still. I am not a fan of the rain or cold or maybe its just when they combine forces. I left off on yesterday saying I would fill you in on something great that happened on Wednesday. Well.....I am alive and that is amazing!!! Wednesday night was long as I am in grad school and we met for what seemed like an eternity 9pm-11pm. Because I wanted to stay awake for class I did not take my meds until 11pm. WHEWWWWW that made for a rough night. However, I manged to get 5hours of sleep. I woke up this morinig with  my back very tight and my neck hurting and I am out of pain meds 🙍 But I decided  that today was going to be a good day. I work til 5:30 then plan on taking a nap before I teach tonight at 8pm. I can not wait for my nap!!! It's  going to be amazing. I can feel it! This morning when I woke up I started singing Rise Up by Andra Day.  I love how God gives me songs to hold to. Here are the lyrics: I highlighted the parts that meant something special to me

"You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

 And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise upAnd I'll do it a thousands times again"                                         ⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩


Well, I got off a little early then met with a friend which made me a little late for my nap. But today my mom got my prescription of Tramadol filled so I am very thankful. I was able to take it and drink a spark (Advocare-I am a distributor) right before my nap. Because my nap time was cut short I decided to nap in my car. I keep blankets, socks, water and a snack just in case something happens. I grabbed my blanket and slept like a baby for about an hour. That nap helped me sooo much during class. So I have the mindset where if I am in pain then I do the harder songs so I can focus. My usual's know if the class is extra hard I'm in pain but have no fear I do give a modified version so that people don't pass out. During class I started getting into the songs and decided to jump. . . . bad idea!! OOOOH LAWD, sweet baby Jesus, barnacles, hotdogs, sugar plums....I had to look down because I was pretty sure my legs broke. Both of them! They didn't but I decided jumping probably wasn't that good of an idea I tried to do low impact the remainder of the class. I did well. They did amazing!!! They had no idea that I was in pain and they burned 773 calories in 58 min. I feel soooooo great. Amazing actually like I can do anything. On the way home I felt dizzy and nauseous so I decided to stop and check my bp 150/90. I know this is a little high because this is exactly what it was when I went to the doc in a box a few weeks ago.  I did jot this down for future references when I go to the doctor.  I was in a lot of pain then too so I am almost certain it is the same thing today. Because I took my meds around 6:45 I can not take it until I wake up in the morning. I am not looking forward  to tonight but...I'll rise up in spite of the ache! And for that I am thankful and I know whatever tomorrow holds....I will  make it!

Bang Dem Sticks

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: I teach a class called Pound. It is amazing class with drumsticks that you bang together and lots of movement up and down, on the ground, back and forth. It is an amazing full body workout that I absolutely love. Today's class was horrible! Absolutely horrible! I went to hit my sticks together and my pointer finger radiated with pain. I dropped my sticks (which very rarely happens to me). I kept teaching but let go of my left stick. When we got down to the ground my hip area hurt so bad that I could barely sit, much less move side to side. I was in so much pain throughout the class. I managed to smile through the class but I just wanted to cry. But there are people to help get fit and no time or crying. My fingers also feel like I have blisters on them when I text or use them to type. And without texting you cant post to FB, IG, or talk to friends. I do all of the above a lot. Today was a very quiet day. How I felt: Scared. Wi...

OMG! OMG! OMG! 5-1

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: Today was an ok day. I worked all day chasing after clients. I taught one fitness class that uses equipment that I have to grip and hit. The pain usually comes when I hit the equipment together so I have learned to hold my left pointer finger up instead of allowing it to grip with the others. The pain is a radiating vibrating pain that goes down my finger. It is excruciating, but I have learned to adapt. In this class we also sit on the ground which is becoming harder and harder. I now have severe pain in my hips and back when sitting down. But I made it through the day! The class! and now its time for another class that requires more equipment, heavy equipment like big tractor tires and  such. Well I loaded all 4 tires, plus heavy weighted bars and various other equipment. Got to the location feeling ok so I moved the 30 plus chairs and 8 tables that needed to be moved. Luckily my friend, my right hand woman in class showed up and h...

The Longest Night

Note: Start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Two days ago I quit taking my Neurontin cold turkey. I did not know that you were suppose to wen yourself off gradually........I went from taking 1500mg to nothing. Help me Holy Spirit, Sweet baby Jesus! I need the father, the son and the Holy Ghost!!! All three right now! I am sweating like I  have been working out, my head hurt soooo bad and I cant stop trembling. This post wont be long because my vision is a little blurry but I wanted to write to explain the way I feel right now. It is 3 am and I have been up since 11 pm trying to not throw up or call my mom crying. I googled reactions to coming off of  Neurontin and I match most of them. Oh dear LAWD!!!! If this is what it feels like to be on drugs and come off....Never get on them but if you do just stay on them (yes this feeling is that bad). Every time I close my eyes there are images of Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and other characters from Looney Tunes but only half of th...
