By way of explanation for anyone who does not understand why I would take a selfie in the dairy section!
When my spine started doing whatever it is doing, it quickly took my ability to walk almost any distance. One of the things that fucked me up the most was that it was excruciating to even go buy a gallon of milk and that I had to use Instacart to get any. My last trip to get milk before this, I was staggering everywhere and sitting on the floor even with a cane. I haven’t bought milk myself in the grocery store in about a year. I certainly haven’t been able to do it without pain.
Today, I made it to the dairy section and only started to get seizing muscles on the last half the trip on my way out.
I really did think the agony while walking would be forever. I thought several times during the last year of being in constant pain that my life should just be over. I’m so thankful for the folks at physical therapy - I’m gonna get my body back.
