Moments of Nancy Kerrigan

On this day, I am happy for my new friends who made the roller derby Fresh Meat team.

Megan, I am truly happy for you. From secret reader to good friend, you will be an amazing addition to the league.

I must admit, I did a little "Why me?"-ing today. My friends are moving forward as I feel like I'm stagnating, and frankly falling backwards (well, literally and figuratively, I suppose). I already feel how a lack of exercise is effecting my body and my mood. I'm mushier than usual and less energetic. This constant pain is really draining. I have moments where I can forget that I'm injured, then I stand up and almost scream because the pain is so shocking and intense.

My friend Stephanie told me to say "thank you" for something about this experience. I was having a hard time coming up with something, but realized that I am very thankful for the medical resources that I have available. I can see doctors, chiropractors and get physical therapy using my insurance, and I have enough money to pay for extras like massage. I'm very fortunate to have all of this available to me.

Plus, feeling sorry for myself isn't going to lead to faster healing. Positive thinking, baby. That's where it's at.
