On Friday I had outpatient surgery. Upon awakening from the anesthesia, I had tingling and numbness down my right leg and foot. Two days later, I still am unable to walk normally (I hobble and can't manage the stairs in my house). The surgery had nothing to do with my leg or foot so this was very unexpected, not to mention disconcerting. It appears to be a compressed nerve.
Like what all successful entrepreneurs do, I am ADAPTING. Without the ability to adjust and change course as necessary, we become idle - in our personal and business lives. Now do I feel sorry for myself? Yes, behind the scenes. But, to everyone else (ok, except my husband), I am strong and ready to do whatever it takes to work around this issue, which is hopefully temporary. Another lesson in being an entrepreneur: WE MUST LEAD even when we are not so confident.
My mindset must be focused on healing and since I am in bed and not going a million miles an hour like normal, I can focus on other important personal and business tasks like delegating and asking for help, working on strategic projects, and talking with family and friends on the phone that normally would be pushed aside for a later date.
I am off to the neurologist tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day.
If you feeling confused or down about something, adapt. Do what you can to change it for the better. We can only control our attitude, so let’s make the most of the worse.
P.S. Psi Bands wishes you a prosperous 2010!
