I am returning to the remarkable after taking a few days off because the recent sharp pain in my left elbow was possibly due to all the writing I have been doing lately. Left hand, left elbow, and indeed, awkward abstract and sub-optimal positions and posture may have created this situation; with a short break, the pain has subsided, and on parallel, I am switching to being seated upright with a writing pad/surface on my lap. I am also noticing that the grip I hold the stylus with feels tense and rigid as If I am waiting for an attempt to grab the pen from my hand. I've had a good day being mindful and present. I took time to accompany Jen on a grocery run, and we also stopped at ATT to consolidate our phone plans. It was a more convoluted process than even the employee helping anticipated. Well over an hour later, we exited successfully. Jen commented on how gracefully I rolled with the situation-no of tension, frustration or upset. It simply was what it was, and I was fine accepting that. Another customer on the stone was upset about something or other, and I recognized how I can and have been at similar times. It was validating. I had a good walk to coffee with J. S., and we enjoyed the coffee, weather and camaraderie. I took Tommy out to dinner with Jen at "Hero Ranch Kitchen," As I stepped out of our front door, I was seized with a breath-stopping sharp pain in my right hip. It was very hard to walk on it, but we all continued to dinner. The meal was phenomenal. This may be my new go-to for appetizers and meals. we tried several things, we splurged, and they were all wonderful, unique, well-presented and delicious. I felt fine at the table, but the pain returned when I stood up to leave. It was the kind of pain you wince violently with. I managed to return to the car with a few stops, deep breaths and chattering teeth. Back at home, I took some painkillers and sat with a heating pad on my side. I'm hoping my sleep is not impacted and, more importantly, that I don't leap out of bed in the morning without thinking. Yikes.
