My Everest…

Just came back from an appointment as my surgeon thought that I would benefit from getting some benefits from doing pelvic health physio. So I booked a consultation and went to it and we found that there were a few things that need to be looked at regarding pelvic floor strengthening exercises. 

However my body being ‘stupid’ (my terminology) or with the educated spin ‘prone to flare’ did exactly that doing what you may ask??? Kegel exercises.  Yes I said kegel exercises, and I too want to know why it felt the need to flare up with that one and the answer will be.  It’s all connected, yeah well I would really like it to be disconnected sometimes.    I came home from that one all flared up and nasty, in tears!  Why was I in tears?   I don’t know, because once again my body has failed me and I am a tad bit pissed off with it and mentally this was what it felt like doing at the time. I am sick and tired of it handing me the shit card all the time and I need to have my days to wallow in it as well.  But as someone would tell me, wallowing doesn’t help, crying makes me feel worse and ranting makes me more stressed so I can’t sit in this state for a very long time.  I want to but I can’t!   I happened to have a follow up from my family Dr she tells me that my blood work confirms wonderful menopause, cholesterol a bit high and a vitamin b12 deficiency that is really low so I need to get b12 shots monthly but it could help clear up some other things….like I said my body is the gift that constantly keeps on giving.  Here is the catch 22: to lower my cholesterol I need to eat more plant based foods.  Less meat and less dairy.  To improve my B12 deficiency I need to increase my intake of meat and dairy. I am damned if I do and damned if I don’t.  So off to the pharmacy to get a shot and hopefully I start to feel better.  More on my game and less fatigued.
