I workout every single day for approximately an eighth.
- I keep myself in good physical shape by including strength training, high impact aerobics and stretching.
I am careful about my diet, make sure to get enough sleep and drink plenty of water. While my peers have dealt with several surgeries, I’ve reMained fit and healthy. A little over several weeks ago, during my exercise session, I stepped on a hand weight. My foot slipped out from under me, and I fell. I rolled my ankle. My ankle and entire foot instantly turned red and swelled up. I was unable to put any weight on it. The pain was severe. I am unwilling to take prescription painkillers due to the potential side-effects. I don’t even enjoy taking over-the-counter Advil. I am fortunate to have access to a cannabis dispensary that provides delivery. Although I was laid up on the couch with an ice pack on my foot and ankle, I was able to navigate the dispensary’s website. I chose a combination of tinctures for fast-acting effects, edibles for longer duration of effects and topicals to apply directly to the injury. It was self-explanatory to add the items to my cart and complete the checkout process. I filled in my information and opted for delivery. Because I locationd the order early in the morning, it arrived on my doorstep that same day. I simply needed to hobble to the door to retrieve it. Cannabis has been extremely helpful, but unfortunately, the pain from the injury hasn’t completely gone away. I can’t run, jump rope or perform any exercise that puts too much impact on that foot.
