It’s just not right I tell you. *pout*
After my little hiking victory, I am anxious to try other activities. I swear I thought I’d never be able to do stuff again. Cancer treatments colored my world. Now, there’s going to be a two-day event to showcase outdoor activities, gear, clubs, and retailers in my city next weekend and I am working the booth for the hiking club. I have been excited about going because you can try the climbing wall, kayaking, canoeing, and other activities for free. I really wanted to try the climbing wall.
But alas, it is not to be! *dramatic hand placed on forehead as head leans back in despair*
My shoulder has been inflamed from tendonitis (stupid shoulder), and the doctor told me no climbing walls or kayaks until the inflammation goes down. To be more precise, he said, “If you climb the wall or kayak next week, you will have a very bad afternoon. The pain will be intense.” *grumble* I’d be mad at the doctor, except he’s really cute and nice.
So now I must wait until a later date to climb a wall, sigh. But do I really need to be practical? Maybe I’ll risk it 🙂 I guess I should ask myself if the climb will be worth a weekend of pain. I must decide. Do I flip a coin, take a poll? Ah life’s critical decisions can be so difficult. Woe is me, a sad puppy!
*close dramatically*

I know (I am frowning as I say this). I will wait till the shoulder heals then go climb- unless I change my mind at the last moment. It’ll give me an excuse to see the cute doc again lol!

Please say you won’t do it, and you’ll listen to the doctor! Hope it goes away soon.

I won’t. I just like to play with the idea. I’ll just watch everyone else have fun, sigh.

I got the pic from Morgue Files. I like his expression 🙂 I am doing ok. Have taken on too many activities in my concrete world and am trying to find a good balance. I hope you are well.

Hey honey – well, here’s a sorry tale I can share with you on this subject…I went indoor rock climbing two and a half years ago…it was awesome…I loved it…but I overdid it…and ended up with Tennis Elbow which I’ve had ever since. Despite my pure joy and exhileration of climbing up those sticky-out things on the wall…and despite being so GOOD at it (or so I thought) – NOTHING was worth the pain I have endured ever since. Chances are, that if you have tendonitis at the outset, climbing would not help!
Take the cute docs advice..and go hiking again instead 😀 xx

Well unfortunately, my shoulder hurts so much right now I can’t imagine climbing. I hope the meds start working soon! So sorry about your elbow. I am reminded about the fact that I thought I was all recovered 4 weeks after my cancer was surgically removed, so I shoveled snow. That act was the catalyst for the lymphedema I now have to contend with for the rest of my life. Thanks for the reminder!

I’m sooo sorry … but, hey, I’d take a break so. I would hate to do more damage and risk future adventures!!?? 🙂
Hope you enjoy being out there at the booth. That sounds like it might be fun anyway ..
Oh, I just glaced up at your note to Chloe … hope you feel better soon.
Love the puppy.

Oh yes, the booth will be fun. And unfortunately, the shoulder is still not better. (argh!)
