These stories remind me of the 20kg (44lb) bags of bird seed I buy - they always offered to carry it to the car for me. My reply, as I hoisted it onto my shoulder, was always "Thankyou, but no. The sooner I accept your help, the sooner I'll need it." THEN I broke my shoulder - doing 180-turns at-speed on roller skates. Took a year, but I'm hoisting again.

Good for you Linda! I have gone through the whole injury recovery cycle as well although I am not quite up to doing what you just did. I was mentioning in another thread about Casey Johnston's strength training blog/newsletter* She posted this on IG which I just thought of when I read your post

And AMD, whoohoo!! That bottled water isn't easy to deal with. When I once bought some for pick up at Target, the cashier asked if I needed a cart and I said no. I don't know what I was thinking! I carried it all the way to my car parked on the far end of the lot. LOL So now I now I can, but I won't do it again. Good work, all you strong ladies! And I absolutely agree with Donna's post, I exercise so that I can move and hopefully not have trouble lifting, squatting, etc now and especially when I'm older. |

Oh this post makes me so happy! I'm thrilled for you, Linda, and.... you give me so much hope. I've been thinking that I might never get over this sciatica or whatever it is (but I think that's probably it), but you make me think it's possible I will heal and be able to lift kitty litter, chicken feed, or whatever it is. . Go you!!
