Sep 16 I was martyr, doing what I had to so I could speak at a conference for women in pain... pushing myself, doing too much, totally exhausted. For several days after, I hardly moved. And even now, I am recovering. If you are blessed enough to be ABLE to be a martyr, there are times when you will inevitably pay. I've not the martyr too much, but geez, when I am, I often wonder what in the hell possessed me to do so?!? I am 75% or more the girl who takes it easy, and doesn't push herself. Why? Because I prize the advances I've made in my health too much to hurt myself and backslide completely... Heather
