Conference for Women

 Wow, what an accomplishment today was for me! Two months after surgery I registered to the SkillPath Seminars “Conference for Women” thinking that at 4 months from surgery I would be back to active regular self. I am feeling pretty good and I am actually looking almost normal on the outside but I am still recovering and am not quite where I thought I would be at this point. I am still going to physical therapy 3 times a week and I still have a lot of pain and am taking medication on a regular basis. The healing process is not over yet and it will probably be that way for another 2 months, at least until the fusion has taken. On the other hand, I do surprise myself every time I decide to give a try to something I haven’t done since before the surgery. I am slowly immerging myself back into an active lifestyle and it’s a good feeling. Every effort I put in is a reward as am stronger every week and that my improvement curve is moving up steeper. Today was like going to work for the first time in months. I woke up to get ready, put on some business cloths, and drove to the conference for 9am. I was in 1 hour sessions all day with powerful subjects about “Professional growth and development” and “Developing your inner power.” I sat in the back of the class and stood up every half hour like my physical therapist recommended and I managed to last all day from 9 to 4! I was exhausted afterwards but it was so worth it. It was nice to interact with smart women and be intellectually active, it made me feel normal again and it is getting me into the swing of things again.
