jianantonicI'm still waking up with headaches every day, but the prescription meds I'm taking work pretty well at getting rid of them. Still, I wish I could figure out why they're happening in the first place and fix that issue. Which reminds me I should totally make an eye doc appointment. I fly back to Portland on Monday, though, so I may not be able to do it while I'm here. D'oh. I shouldn't have put that off.
I had a really great therapy session yesterday. Dr. P kept saying things like "that's huge," and "you should be really proud of yourself." Which, honestly, is how I'm dealing with a lot of the things that aren't awesome. I'm totally jealous that I'm not playing in Louisville this week, and still stressing about the AOL situation, but I'm able to temper the negative feelings with pride. I'm really proud of myself for how well I'm handling everything, and that is soothing. I told Dr. P that I think the meds are a huge part of it, because I'm just not really inclined to engage negative feelings like I used to be, and I think that's mostly due to a change in brain chemistry. She encouraged me to give myself a lot of credit, though, even though I said it felt like the Prozac was doing most of the work for me. Whatever the root reasons, I'm doing well and I am proud of myself.

I went to yoga last night and did a little running. I felt good but also a little on the weak side. My wrist is showing no signs of improvement, so I still have to work around the injury in all my workouts. It's frustrating and I hope it heals somehow, someday. I'm pissed that the hand specialist that looked at it six months ago didn't think anything was wrong with it. It would be nice to have a day or two in my life where I just didn't have to deal with physical pain. When I was younger, I used to revel in the attention I'd get from being injured, to the point where I'd bandage myself up when I was completely well, even. I'm over that, though. I would prefer healthy obscurity to injured doting. So come on, wrist. Heal thyself.
