Yes, you DO have to mourn. You DO have to move onto things you can handle without major discomfort....but you DO have to keep pushing. It is a balancing act, mental and physical.
If you can't run, can you bike or swim? Always ask yourself if there is an alternative way to do an activity. For me, the trekking poles make walking better.
Yet, some days are bad days....and I just have to accept that and cut myself some slack.
Yep, this disease by any name, sux.

Hi,
Your right it does sux. One thing I think I need to do is cut myself some slack. I got up in horrible pain today probably the worse yet. Felt like it was in my muscles and bones. I was up a lot last night with hip and leg pain.
However, I started my own little farm today. I've only planted tomatoes in the past.
Today we planted tomatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, cantaloupes, squash, zucchini and we are even trying corn.
I am excited. I hope everything makes it. Did you name the chicken yet?
Hopeful
