Today was my first day back to the studio in several weeks. I hadn't gone since ECT started per the advice of my doctor (nothing too strenuous and I think Bikram yoga would fit into that category). My friend Linda and I went together which was a good arrangement considering she hadn't been in a couple weeks either. I think we both feel as if the class kicked our ass pretty damn hard. The biggest struggle I had was with my balance. Physically, I still feel somewhat wonky so trying to stay upright in those conditions was rough...I took LOTS of breaks. But I went. And I'm proud of myself for at least doing that. I may try to fit a class in tomorrow morning between individual therapy and group therapy, but that could be a tight fit, we'll see.
In other news, I'm finding my knitting to be a source of aggravation lately vs. enjoyment. For some reason I just can't "settle" into a project. I just keep hopping from one thing to another. This Saturday I begin a class, Knitting Socks Toe Up w/ Magic Loop. I'm pretty excited...this will be my first attempt at knitting socks!
Next week I'm going to be doing some relief work for the clinic I work (very) PT for during the week. Monday and Tuesday...it's been a looooong time since I've used some of my technical skills like placing catheters, blood draws, etc. so I'm nervous about how I'll perform, but I think they realize that and will hopefully give me a bit of a break. I'm already expecting I'll need to pop a klonipin beforehand.
All in all this week is going fairly well and I hope to blog again soon...

Yoga rocks and so do socks. I'm thinking you should come up with yoga socks that breath really well and have sticky stuff on the bottom. You could patent it and get lots of moola.
