Kicking Ass. Or Trying. Part I.
April 7th, 2008 by trancejen
This morning I am attending my first kickboxing class.
I signed the J-Man up for karate at a place that offers a free trial week. That free trial week also comes with free kickboxing lessons for me, three times a week; and I figure if I’m going to pass out all the time I might as well do it fighting.
Actually I’ve been doing a bit better. I’m down to about twice a day, generally after I eat, so I just don’t eat all morning or I eat small meals to combat what seems to be food fighting me as much as I fight it. No passing out: no pissing and or/shitting myself. Although I do shit myself on a regular basis given the fact that I am a liberal and a Sox fan.
I’m leaving in five minutes.
I’m scared.
I’m happy, too, though. A week ago I was really, really ready to die. Now I think I’m ready to start trying again.
The results from my MRIs are in and I have an appointment with the neck doctor to discuss the progression in the damage to my neck and consider surgery as an option. I also have an appointment with the neurologist to discuss the fact that absolutely nothing has changed on my brain MRIs. Then I have an appointment to have my internal heart monitor read. Whoopee.
In a way, I really don’t care. Fuck all of that shit. I’m not taking it lying down anymore.
I’m kickboxing.
Happy Monday.

Atta girl Jen !
Sometimes a girl just needs to kick the living shit outta life to remind it just who exactly is in charge. I’m so glad to hear from you sweetie…you had us all VERY concerned. There must be something in the air because my life has been the drizzling shits for the last 2 weeks as well. Perhaps I should take up kickboxing too in order to get myself back on track.
Eh…maybe not. *sigh*
Love you Jen

That’s the ticket! Are you going to get to kick a real person or just a dummy? The two are not mutually exclusive. Perhaps you could kick George Bush.

Glad to hear you’re still alive and “kickin’”! Pardon the pun! I hope you enjoy your kickboxing class. I’ve been too much of a coward to try it myself!

Yay! Kickbox the shit out of that sandfilled thing you’re supposed to hit/kick! And good luck with the docs — it would be nice if ONE of them could give you some real help.

I don’t often comment but I just wanted to say how much I admire you. You’re a real inspiration to those of us who don’t have nearly your level of problems. Good for you, Jen. Good for you.

Oi. Good luck with the kickboxing! My much more in shape friend dragged me to a class called Kick Boxing Bootcamp, and I was sore for a week! She goes to those types of classes regularly though, and it really pays off. The hard part is getting there more than once.
