Thanks! It was a little discouraging at first because I was so weak and my balance was so bad. It gets better steadily and I am getting stronger and healthier.

For some reason, I have been getting phantom pain off and on for the last three days and nights. I have also had swelling and pain in my foot. Fortunately, I had a review with my team yesterday. There is nothing terribly wrong with my foot at present, so I don't need a cast, which I feared. I could get some narcotics for the phantom pain, but I don't want to do that. I am already taking neurotin. I end up invariobly being awake from around 2:00 a. to 4:00 a. every night and I can't nap during the day because of the damn pain! I am not exercising because of the pain and because I am tired. It seems a little calmer today, so I may be able to do some things tomorrow.
I hate when I get like this because I can't deal with frustrations and I have to be careful not to bite off the heads of people I am dealing with. I am especially trying not to do this to my wife. She is working very hard right now and has a lot of pressure on her. She is not happy with me because she feels like I brought this on us. I don't want to make things worse.

My blood sugar is labile from the sleep and the stress and is tending to crash right now. Blleehhh!

I don't know. My wife thinks I should be doing more. I don't know if she is right or not. Still, I'm just going to keep plugging away.

Are you doing the best you can?

Answer that and you know who's right. You planning on going to the summit next year?

Feeling sorry for myself so I went on a walk. I went up hills and down hills and conquered the driveway which is very steep without my cane for the first time!

When I came in the door, I received a call from a friend who wanted to know if I was interested in interviewing for a sales job. Their thinking, and mine as well, was that it would free me up to establish my own business while earning a pay check. Otherwise, if I take a legal job, it would suck up all of my time and I would never be able to start my own business. Maybe things will turn!

I don't know if I am doing everything I can. How do you know that? I know that I am getting regular exercise, I am eating according to plan, I am trying to sort out the next twenty years of my life. I am afraid that nothing I can do will be enough for her at this stage. However, I am looking forward to moving ahead. Yes, if I can do it financially, I will plan on going to the summit.

It's hard when a spouse or family member goes through these kinds of life-changing events with you. There are so many ugly emotions and stages to get through--fear, anger, resentment, blame... and eventually acceptance of the situation and moving on for most folks. Hang in there, Greg.

She is talking about splitting up. She thinks that I am not trying. I am trying. Her career is a great one, she's an RN. She is totally in demand and so she just pretty much has to show up anywhere. I am an attorney. I pretty much have to create my own job. I have to drive to courts, I have to drum up clients. I generally can't just go to some job and say I'm here!! On top of that, law offices are small businesses. They don't have EEOC regs so if I make people nervous, they just don't hire me.

I'm just feeling sorry for myself.

Greg - you are facing some difficult choices, feeling the pain is not out of order. Of course you want to get beyond it, but be patient with yourself. Are you eligible for government jobs. I sure enjoyed working with Guardian Ad Litem attorneys when I was a volunteer - sometimes we really (indirectly) went at each other!

I asked Ali if there was anything we could do, counseling or whatever. She is just not open to it. I guess we are going to try to split up in a civilized manner. That is the only thing I can give her right now.

Not much choice! I talked to my brother who is a family and child psychologist. He says she may get over her anger if we are separated. I don't know, but I know she won't if I'm underfoot.

I tried to walk off my frustrations earlier. Two laps around the development which is the first time I have been able to go that far.
Still feeling sucky though.

Greg,
I cannot tell you how sorry I am for this turn of events. I pray that some time apart may let cooler heads prevail.

Sorry to hear about this, Greg. Give her some time to sort things out. Some time away may clear away her anger and see you for the man you are.

You, sir, are doing great with your workouts. I know I don't post in here a lot but I do read your log all the time. You've come a long way and I find this log to be one of the most inspirational on this site. Thanks.

Yesterday I wanted to work out but felt like screwing around. This is what I came up with:

Session 1: Superset: Bench Press: 6 x 115
Lat Pull 6 x 80
six times

Walk outside up and down hills 1 mile in about 20 minutes.

Session 2 One Armed Bent Over Row 6 x 51.3 4 x
4 x 51.3 1 x
3 x 51.3

One mile walk outside up and downhill in about 20 minutes

Seated easy bar curls 6 x 65 x 5
5 x 65
Lying triceps extension 6 x 31.3 x 6

20 minutes on treadmill at 2.5 elevation at 2.7 mph.

I did this basically in a.m, afternoon (around 4:00 p) and around 11 p.

Two laps around the development! That's about 1.8 miles. I did it in 43 minutes which is quite fast for me. I am thinking of carrying a 3 lb dumbbell with me although that may look a little strange with the cane on the other side.
