I haven’t had much time to post lately. I have a lot going on. I’m back at work and takes up most of my time. I was scared that it would be hard to get back in the “groove”, but it wasn’t hard at all. Actually, I love my job so much (programming and designing reports) that sometimes I want to work into the night. lol! Kevan has to remind me to stop. Also, I’m teaching a Wednesday night women’s bible study now on the book of Luke (the ministry of Christ) so I am doing quite a bit of preparation each day for that study. I love researching and preparing for the study, but I still have a hard time with the actual leading of the study since I am an introvert and all eyes are on me. I’m hoping that it will get better as time goes on. It still scares me to death each week.
Arms/Chest Muscles
My body has healed very well since my surgery. I am feeling great. The only thing that has been bothering me are my arms and chest muscles. For example, I cannot stir like I used to. I used to make up batter (cookies, cakes, etc) and stir them…but now….those chest muscles hurt A LOT when I do that so now I have to lug out the stand mixer. If I end up stirring manually I have muscles spasms the next day. Also, the other day Kevan opened the kitchen window and when I went to shut it the muscle pain in my chest was awful. It feels like something is tearing. So, I’m going to talk to the doctor about exercises I need to be doing. I also reached out to the personal trainer I used to go to in Orlando (Hi Rena!) and we might have some FaceTime sessions so I can learn some arm/chest/back exercises to help me. I will let you know how that goes and if this pain gets better. I pray it does! Farm chores will be really hard in the spring/summer if I can’t get these muscles back to where they used to be.
