\"meditating<\/a>Last week I had a carpal tunnel flare up on both wrists at the same time. One morning sitting on the floor to meditate, I realized without using my hands and using only one leg trying to get up, I was like a turtle on its back. I made myself laugh out loud. Necessity is the mother of invention. I rolled up on the other knee as graceful as a drunken wombat and was good to go. This evening was the first night in about 2 weeks that I did any kind of working out. I’ve been trying to do things that don’t have me moving my right leg at all. Tonight I did some barre stretches and hand weights. I do yoga everyday but it has been really limiting to stay off the right leg. I would have thought after basically lying around for over a week and doing very little physical activity that I would be well rested, yet after exercising just under an hour I have more energy than I’ve had all week. I miss it when I am not moving my entire body. At this point the leg feels fine, just a little stiff. I\u2019ll be glad when I can sit cross legged again. It never occurred to me I might not be able to do that my whole life.<\/p>\n

10-6-15 UPDATE: I can sit cross legged again!\u00a0 Not a half lotus yet but… small steps!<\/p>\n
