Overcoming Setbacks

I believe this has been the most challenging month ever in my life. My husband is finally coming home after being gone since July 28th. I survived very well until yesterday.
I reaggravated an old injury yesterday during my morning workout. About 1 1/2 years ago, I suffered a bulging disc in my cervical spine. It took a good 3 months to start feeling better and a full 6 months before I felt 100% again. Well, now I am suffering from that injury again.
I admit it isn’t as bad as when I originally injured it, but it still hurts. It couldn’t have come at a more inconvenient time. I only have 8 weeks left until my RKC Certification and I need every ounce of strength to get through this program.
So, rather than wallow in self pity and give up, I am icing it every hour and giving it the rest that it needs. I am still getting on the treadmill and doing some incline walking to keep up my endurance and hip strength. I will work my lower body the best I can until I am able to go full throttle again.
There will always be setbacks in life. It’s how you handle them that make the difference.
Ouch! That doesn’t sound good. Glad you aren’t letting it stop you, yet still being careful to rest and take it easy when you need to.
I saw your comment on Randy Blair’s facebook, so I thought I would stop by and check out your site
I was homeschooled my entire life and am now homeschooling through college.
Take care of yourself and God Bless,

Thanks Sarah Beth,
I am already feeling much, much better today. I will probably be back in the game by next week, although not at the same intensity level.
How is the homeschooling through college going? I have a 16 year old daughter in her junior year of high school. She would love to hear of your experience.
