I found it rather ironic that the very day I am to write
about ‘physical movement’ in my life I am bed bound.
I once asked someone to
imagine their most physically challenging day.
Then I explained - this can be a good day for someone with HCV and/or
acromegaly.
Between the HCV and the long-term effects of acromegaly my body
has developed it’s own unique rhythm. At times
my body can be like a rebellious teenager if I push it too much.
Wednesday was my second intramuscular treatment of
Sandostatin LAR since starting the HCV triple therapy. My body is learning to adjust to the over lap
of the two treatments but in the interim; my body just wants to rest for the
first few days following this overlay. My energy level falls even lower than
what I am experiencing when just dealing with the HCV triple therapy. I have
decided to just give the process its time.
Goodness knows the Sandostatin LAR allows my body to experience some
quality of life for the rest of the month.
Today is Saturday morning and I have a little energy back.
Housework has piled up over the past 2 days.
By the time I complete some of the chores I have no doubt that I will
have gotten my heart rate up. With three floors in the house, the stairs alone
will be a good workout for the first day.
Today, I will get back to some gentle bouncing on the exercise ball. This will help some of the water
that my body has been holding onto for the past 2 days to gain some movement.
Tonight I look forward to clean sheets on my comfy bed, a spring breeze blowing through the windows
and the feeling that I accomplished something today.
Until next time,
Deborah
