Functional
Short term getting around, I'm slow and steady. Long term, I use a scooter. Depending on whether I'm tired or not, my fine motor skills come and go. I rest when I'm getting tired, even if it's just 20 minutes. Then I get up and try to get moving again. My body when exhausted will just stop moving...my voice get hoarse and slow...someone could just push me over. Kind of like tipping a cow.
I try to listen to my body almost like the motor on a car. We travel off and on with our business. When we do, I plan on resting the first day that we get there. We have a support network that I am still able to pour in to. At times I need help and haver learned to ask for help.
Heat, staying up on medication and supplements, stretching, pressure point massage therapy, attitude adjustments, good friends and family, help with days that are difficult and playing half as much as I work, since EVERYTHING is effort...go easy on myself.
I try to focus on what I can do and not look back on what I use to be able to do.
Thanks for asking. How about yourself?
