the adventures of a girl with yarn and crps


I am so glad for this three day weekend. Everyday I just get more and more tired. Work takes everything I have out of me. I feel like I have worked out at the gym all day when I get home at night. There is nothing wrong w my bloodwork, kidneys, liver, or thyroid. My doctor said that my left leg is starving, and that was the nature of the CRPS. My physical therapist says it is the atrophy, the right leg is compensating, so the left leg is getting de-conditioned, the inflammation, the osteoporosis, the CRPS. all of it makes me exhausted.

I don't do much during the week outside of work, doctors, sleep, sit on the couch.

There is no cure for CRPS.

I would like to get be in better shape for the wedding, but I just freak out too much and am too concerned about what textures/debris/carpet fibers are going to touch my left foot. I know how crazy that sounds. My left foot/leg is ridiculous.

So, I have been looking for something that I can do. I can't stand for long. Maybe long enough to make a cheese sandwich, in one place, on a smooth surface, leaning slightly against the counter. I can't pick up and put down the left foot. Textures and random bits of whatever on the ground just hurt too much. The leg cannot be folded underneath me or touching the floor. The leg can't bare the entire weight of my body. Running is straight out. I can't do aerobics or kick boxing w/o falling on the floor each time I put my left foot on the ground. Every step I take is calculated, examined, slow. It sucks ass. I loved kick boxing. I am looking for exercises that I can do w one leg.

yoga for the disabled dvd
10 minute knock out body for the Wii but sitting
abs and arms w resistance band
ab circle

I guess the problem now is where do I get the energy to do this?
