I can't really write anything meaningful, since the pain medication has been kicking in. I haven't been doing as much writing, work-wise, because of the meds, which is incredibly frustrating and stressful for me.

pain meds ramblings
Things have been rough, recovery-wise. I got my stitches out Monday, but am still taking pain medicine pretty regularly. I get super tired really fast, and tried to do some food shopping today and was ready to burst out in tears after less than 10 minutes of walking around. Don't think that's happening any time soon. Thankfully, I only had to pick up Coke Zero and crescent rolls. I was watching the Women's World Championship triathlon yesterday, until I started to cry after the first 15 minutes. Today I went to Fleet Feet with my roommate, so she could get new sneakers for her half-marathon training...I guess I am a masochist. When I really think about it, I get really upset about the upcoming triathlon. I haven't withdrawn officially yet, because there is a part of me that will continue thinking maybe I will be able to do it until the very morning of. I will pick up my race packet the day before, and I will probably be in some sort of cognitive denial until the morning of the tri. Maybe it's misguided hope or some sort of protective thing.

As with any trauma or stressful situation, time is the best healer....this time, TAKE time to heal and get stronger. Like a flower blooming or a season changing, it doesn't happen overnight, but the results will be beautiful. Take time...and don't be so hard on yourself.
Thank you! Your comment made me feel a little better! And yes, this time I am taking the time to recover fully. :)
