I seem to have been wrong
I was under the impression that my back pain was caused by overdoing one exercise or another even though I couldn’t work out exactly where I went wrong. And underneath I still had some anxiety about heart issues even though my symptoms seemed to indicate otherwise. It was more the worry that I should have gotten checked out just to be sure. But now I’m not at all worried on that account because I remembered last night how I hurt myself.
Just to preface, I have a plastic garden chair that I’ve been using for a desk chair for several months since mine was taken by Game Fanatic because his broke and was irreparable. The chair was bought for me to use in the shower post-surgery and has always been inside. Anyway, some things had been draped across the back of the chair last Sunday night and I stood up to do something and accidentally knocked the chair backwards about the time I started to sit down. I didn’t quite hit the chair on that occasion and instead landed with bottom on the floor and my left shoulder and back against part of the chair. While the chair isn’t particularly strong it obviously is solid enough that I felt pretty battered by the time I righted myself that night. I figured at the time that some bruises might come out but I didn’t feel like there were any issues.
And then I seem to have forgotten all about that incident until last night. This seems to explain everything that’s been happening this week and totally rules out any worries about my heart. So when I went to exercise at the gym today I wasn’t at all anxious about working too hard and enjoyed myself a lot more than I have lately. I even gave the rowing machine a bit of a go and it went well. Still haven’t seen my physio so I hope I can get in on Monday and be sure I haven’t knocked anything around that shouldn’t be knocked around.
