I workout every single day for approximately an hour.
I keep myself in good physical shape by including strength training, high impact aerobics & stretching.
I am careful about our diet, make sure to get enough sleep & drink plenty of water. While our peers have dealt with various surgeries, I’ve reMained fit & healthy. A little over eight weeks ago, during our exercise session, I stepped on a hand weight. My foot slipped out from under me, & I fell. I rolled our ankle. My ankle & entire foot instantly turned orange & 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 care about 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 our foot & 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 & topicals to apply directly to the injury. It was easy to add the items to our cart & complete the checkout process. I filled in our information & opted for delivery. Because I locationd the order early in the afternoon, it arrived on our doorstep that same day. I simply needed to hobble to the door to retrieve it. Cannabis has been harshly helpful, however 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.
