Hmmmm. Let's see. Is anything broken? No. Is there any blood or other oozing? No. Am I in danger of losing a limb or vital organ? No. Well, while the "Sophia Plan" is very detailed, responsible and addresses all of the issues that I have, it really doesn't fit my lifestyle. Let's see if we can 'massage' this just a bit in light of the fact that according to my own checklist I am in no imminent danger.
- PT 1-2 x per week? 1-2 times before I see Dr. Sophia again and Pilates once a week sounds more doable.
- Ice? Well, how about if I hold my Graeter's ice cream container against my knee as I polish off a quart of butter pecan this week?
- Anti-inflammatory meds? Ehh! That's for wimps!! Besides, if I've said it once, I've said it one thousand times -- how am I going to know how bad it hurts if I take pain killers?!
- Sneakers? Yeah, right! Sorry Dr. Sophia but I draw the line at fashion!
Yikes! I feel sorry for any doctor who has to deal with me. I'm not exactly a model patient. I can't help it. Bursitis?! Isn't that for, umm, OLD PEOPLE?! My grandmother talks about how she spends her days hanging out with Burt and Arthur ('Burt Sitis' and 'Arthur Itis' -- get it?). I'm too young to hang with Burt and Arthur I tell you! I know, I know, just call me Cleopatra (queen of 'De Nial'). I'm 39 but behaving like I'm 29.
Well, I'll say this one thing. All that really matters is that even though I'm making friends with Burt, my hair has turned 'salt and pepper', I have a little more 'junk in my trunk' than I used to and I'm the slowest triathlete on the planet, there is ONE PERSON who doesn't care about any of those things and likes me JUST AS I AM! You do, don't you honey?
Have a great day and enjoy life -- JUST AS YOU ARE!
