Of not letting you off the hook 😕 Just as I thought something had gone right for me, a problem cropped up that I couldn't cope with 😞 On it's own, it could and possibly can be sorted but with a slow build up of things at home, work, with family and with health, things finally took their toll 😞
I was having difficulty in breathing and had pains in my upper back, so called the non-emergency number, but ended up with a paramedic anyway. My vital signs came back ok, but with my history, I was told to see my doctor as soon as possible. I got to see a locum that day, who booked a bloods test for me and put me down for a spirometry test. She said the shortness of breath and pains could be stress related, but left it at that.
My wife and family told me to get a second check, and got an appointment with our regular doctor the following day, who is aware of all the issues at play family and healthwise. As a result, I'm signed off for a week, so will be time to focus on my family and Karate for a while to destress, and get some of the issues sorted if I can.
Karate in times like this, for me forms an anchor point 😌. It gives a release to tensions and the opportunity to work out frustrations in a safe environment. I went to both the Thursday and Saturday classes this week: Thursday was about Kata and the previous Saturday's flow drill with breakouts. Today's lesson had core exercises, Kata, pad work, basic drills and a few elements i can't even remember.
Normally, I would be annoyed with myself that I couldn't remember the core elements of what we did. Today however that's ok. The taking part and being with family and friends was the most important part 😊
