Do you have good health? At the moment, it could be said that I don’t.
I need to have 2 operations, one which is sorta major but not life threatening, the other which is something that needs done or it’ll simply get worse.
Does that mean I don’t have ‘good’ health though? I’d contest that.
The sorta major operation I need causes me some inconvenience at the moment until it’s done. I can’t do one of my favourite things which is cycle. I can still teach, however.
Have I lost much? Not really, as my classes are still enjoyable for both myself and the people who come along.
I get to walk about and get in amongst them (which, in truth, is what I normally did pre-Covid).
Sure, I can’t cycle but that doesn’t affect them in the slightest and so, in reality, in that aspect of my life, things rattle along. And I’m having real fun !
The other operation means I can’t really do much lower body exercise (it’s an inguinal hernia so I need to be mindful of heavy lifting). Besides, the sorta major op prevents that anyway.
Have I lost much? A little bit more, but I can still exercise my upper body, go for walks, and generally get on with moving heavy stuff (above the waist !).
And there’s the thing. Yes, things are inconvenient for me until I go under the knife. Not a disaster though.
I could, and did for a few hours in the hospital A & E, feel sorry for myself. Then I thought it through. So, inconvenience. Some things had to change. I could still exercise and return to massage however, and there are a helluva lot of people an awful lot worse than me.
I have support from my partner and my lads, and friends and colleagues too. Thoroughly positive outlook.
So, perhaps, you could say that at the moment I’m not in ‘good’ health.
You can also say that I well and truly am.
I do.
Have a great week, all.
