I'm so sorry, Oak. While my isolation in the booming metropolis of Franklin, Indiana isn't quite as extreme as your situation, I definitely felt painfully bereft of my old cycling and running friends when we moved there. It's gotten better over time, but I still have far less interaction than I once did. I've cried many a time over it. So, I do understand at least part of your pain and sincerely hope that you find physical and emotional relief soon.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Oh, Oak, I'm so sorry to read about your troubles! My husband had 2 herniated discs a few months back, and for days he was flat on his back. He had jumped down from the rig and that was it-he was in so much pain he had to leave work. (That NEVER happens!) after spending 3 days completely on his back, he was able to move around a little but he couldn't drive, so he had to be driven into the city to see the doctor. Finally they prescribed PT and we have one around the block-she's fabulous. All the electrical stimulation, manual stuff,it did take some times but now he's back to work and doing well.
I hope your recovery comes soon for you. I'm glad you changed things up when it wasn't working. It's all about what's right for you and facilitates healing.
