We went to the zoo today, and it was so crazy busy. I guess we didn't think about it being Memorial Day weekend. Anyway, we were trying to get a glimpse of the elephants, and there was a huge crowd. So I thought I would get my son up on my shoulders so at least he could see. He is 6, but still only about 35 pounds. I truly wasn't thinking that I shouldn't be lifting anything heavy, because I was feeling so good. Afterward I realized my mistake, and it's one I've been paying for all day. Grrr, and I thought I was healing. Anyway, I don't know the moral of this story, but sometimes testing the strength of your body can be a good thing and other times not such a good thing. I guess sometimes we have to know our own limitations and try to grow around them.
Amy,
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I am definitely guilty of doing too much too soon after injuring myself. I just hate the idea of having to sit out. Once I start to feel better I try to act like everything is back to normal only to turn around and pay for it later. Not sure of the best solution for this but I do understand doing too much too soon. Take it easy and I hope you are feeling better soon.
