When I think how last week I couldn&#8217;t move without blinding pain. The doomsdaysayer in me was proclaiming how I&#8217;d never be okay again, that I was irreversibly broken. Show&#8217;s what I know.<br \/>\nWell, I&#8217;m still not sure I won&#8217;t have lasting problems. But I&#8217;m glad for the improvements.<br \/>\nI am verrily missing goat time now though. I&#8217;m not sure the last time I went this long with this little goat time.  First the ribs then the back. I was toying with the idea of going today, but &#8216;funnily&#8217; enough the fact that I&#8217;m feeling better has made me decide to wait just a little. When I thought that oh I would never be okay then I figured I should just go as soon as I could possibly drag my hurting body out the door. But now that I actually feel like I&#8217;m healing.. I feel like giving my body the chance to heal as much as possible would be smart. I&#8217;m a little afraid of going out goating and then waking the next day with blinding pain again&#8230;<br \/>\nI will probably wait 2-3 days. A little extra healing. And then going. I hope the goats are okay. And that they haven&#8217;t forgotten me. I bet they haven&#8217;t forgottne my bag of treats.<br \/>\nWhat a year it&#8217;s been. Starting off with some of the worst depression in a long time, then allergy testing then rib injury then back injury. Meanwhile the world in the grips of pandemic and uprecendted happenings in Denmark and everywhere else.<br \/>\nHorrible news out of Canada just now too.<br \/>\nThis world.. I really need my goat time soon.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/djaliplume\/posts\/10157430335968657\">20\/4 2020<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nToday will be a good day. Happy Yogi Day everyone.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2017\/170406_a38_3.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2017\/thumb_170406_a38_3.jpg\" width=\"450\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10157434257908657&amp;set=a.10151787893188657&amp;type=3\">21\/4 2020<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nHow&#8217;s I&#8217;m&#8217;s doing&#8217;s?<br \/>\nNot too bad. I went out and did a little shopping. The two previous times I did that I couldn&#8217;t walk around with feeling a bit of jabbing pain in my lower back. I didn&#8217;t feel that pain today. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because I stretched better beforehand. Or if i have healed some more. But hey, any improvement is welcome. My back is sore, but no sharp pain. Some movements still cause a little pain, but it&#8217;s much more manageable.<br \/>\nAnother couple of days rest and then i&#8217;ll go see the goats. My dad is going to come help me get a bus ticket so I don&#8217;t have to do the whole 2 hour walk. The weather is glorious right now. I just want to sit on the bench in the sun with the goats, tra la.<br \/>\nHope you&#8217;re all doing fine out there. Once again, thank you all for the support. It&#8217;s been a forked time, but I know everyone is dealing *flails arms*.

Yes, I made it out. So good to be back. Seeing the goaties rushing towards me. My brain and heart feels a lot better.<br \/>\nHow is my back feeling? A little sore, but otherwise okay. The big question is how it will feel tomorrow. When the injury happened I felt fine on the goat day too, it was the next morning that I couldn&#8217;t move without blinding pain. So.  Slightly nervous about tomorrow. But we&#8217;ll see.<br \/>\nIt wen okay. One little mishap. Nuller managed to jump up on my back. Dammit. Can&#8217;t keep that kid down. Let&#8217;s hope it won&#8217;t have any bad consequences..<br \/>\nMy dad came and helped me get a bus ticket. I walked home. Hopefully that was an okay balance. I hope I haven&#8217;t overdone diddly did it.<br \/>\nBeautiful, sunny day. Warm and summery, 20C\/70F. That&#8217;s legit summer for Denmark. I remembered to bring a drinking bottle to stay hydrated. I don&#8217;t know if dehydration had anything to do after all with what happened last time, but better safe than sorry.<br \/>\nI stayed about a couple of hours I think. I really wnated to just stay longer. Sitting with Mia next to me on the bench in the sun. Perfect bliss. But I thought I&#8217;d better limit myself.<br \/>\nSo hey we&#8217;ll see. Just so happy to see my goat pals again. Let&#8217;s hope we can have a good summer.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/djaliplume\/posts\/10157441628003657\">23\/4 2020<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nFinally, back where I belong. Good for the heart, mind and soul. Let&#8217;s hope I don&#8217;t wake up tomorrow with blinding pain in the body again.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2020\/200423_miame1.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2020\/thumb_200423_miame1.jpg\" width=\"450\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10157441664228657&amp;set=a.10151787893188657&amp;type=3\">23\/4 2020<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nMia at the gate. Sigh. She still doesn&#8217;t quite understand how come I&#8217;m not letting them out in the morning. I wish we could start going out again soon.<br \/>\nOn a funnier note, a couple of kids came to the fence to look at the goats and they were asking me questions. Questions like &#8220;How come you&#8217;re in the goat pen? And aren&#8217;t you afraid the goats are going to eat you?&#8221;. I&#8217;ll take my chances amongst goats over humans any day.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2020\/200423_mia1.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2020\/thumb_200423_mia1.jpg\" width=\"450\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10157442000423657&amp;set=a.10151787893188657&amp;type=3\">23\/4 2020<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nOh, and if you&#8217;re having trouble keeping track of my goat pals, here&#8217;s a video where I introduce them all (yes, I can talk. It happens. Rarely).<br \/>\nNuller and Lily. Milo and Sky. Mia. And Sassy.<br \/>\nFrom the last time I was goating, which was also a beautiful, sunny day.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/djaliplume\/posts\/10157442299403657\">23\/4 2020<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nAlright, I&#8217;m going to shut it down for today. Feeling fairly okay. Big question is, how will I feel in the moninr? Still improving or back in pain?

My back and legs are a bit sore. But the important thing is. I did not wake up with blinding pain every time I move. So that, that&#8217;s good. I was a little worried.<br \/>\nHopefully this means I&#8217;m on the road to recovery. And that I can get back to normal, regular goating. I have to be careful about my back of course, ease into it.  But when you consider that two weeks ago I had myslf convinced that I&#8217;d never be able to move without pain again, this is.. better.<br \/>\nThank you all for the support and advice along the way.

Physically pretty good. My back is still sore and aching, but not so bad But.. there&#8217;s always something. I have not been sleeping well the last 4-5 days. If you know me, you know that I love to sleep and dream. Sometimes I&#8217;ll stay in bed for 24 hours and just sleep and dream and I love it. But the last few days I have had a hard time sleeping through. I wake up every hour or every other hour. For dreaming that&#8217;s actually pretty good, because when you wake up in the middle of a dream it&#8217;s always super clear and vivid. But it&#8217;s not healthy to only sleep an our or two straight. And I can feel it. Mentally. I am tired and stressed and depressed and just not feeling good. It affects my eyes too. My eyesight gets worse when I haven&#8217;t slept enough. And it&#8217;s not good right now. I just feel like shit, honestly.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not sure what the cause is. I have been used to effortlessly sleeping. Is it connected to my back injury? You&#8217;d think so maybe. But then, when I was in blinding pain a few weeks ago. I still slept fine. In fact I probably made the injury worse because I took a couple of complete days where I just stayed in bed and slept. I slept through fin then. Now my back is better than it was then, so is it the cause? I don&#8217;t wake up feeling pain. I don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;m being jolted out of sleep by some pain. I just.. wake up, and I loo at the clock and it&#8217;s an hour later.  My theory has been that maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve been taking a ton of supplements lately. Upped dosages of stuff I&#8217;d been taking already and added new things. Stuff that&#8217;s supposed to be good for the back, or the body in genearl. The bones. So maybe some of that has affected my sleep. I stopped taking most of it yesterday, it didn&#8217;t seem to really help my sleep last night but maybe it needs more time to leave my system. I can only hope so. I feel like I&#8217;m going insane. I remember when I was doing some reading about lucid dreaming, I read some stuff about how lack of sleep affects the brain. It&#8217;s like torture. It&#8217;s not good.<br \/>\nMaybe the fact that I have been less physically active because of the injury could have something to do with it too. I was planning to do a little work on the exercise bike today. But then again I got up feeling so bad and tired and unmotivated. So I didn&#8217;t. But maybe it would help to get going more on that. And more goating. I need to be careful about my back too, though. Right now I&#8217;m kinda planning to do one goat trip next week and then get started on the exercise bike the otehr days, work up some form.<br \/>\nI guess I&#8217;ll see how it goes.<br \/>\nThe lack of sleep is probably one of the reasons why I have been feeling severaly depressed the last few days. Everything is just so.. shitty. The whole world is just falling to pieces. And I&#8217;m falling to pieces. Constantly hurting something somewhere. And even without injuries I&#8217;m still just.. like a failed experiment. Incapable of being a human. A fat, blind blob that can&#8217;t be around people.  I feel like I should be chained up in the basement of a mad scientist&#8217;s laboratory. I can&#8217;t make it in the real world, I don&#8217;t beling there. There&#8217;s no point in me  being here, I will never feel okay. Even if the curent stuff passes it&#8217;s just a downward spiral into blindness and weakness. Sigh. I really just wish I could go to sleep and not wake up.<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t worry, this isn&#8217;t a cry for help. Just expresseing the feelings to get them out of my head. Sorry I&#8217;m such a drag. I hope the goat photos somewhat make up for all the boring, self indulgent shite. I am thankful for those of you who stick around. And if you read through all this, I am sorry. So sorry. Maybe I should try reading my own posts at bedtime, that oughta send me into a coma.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/djaliplume\/posts\/10157454332893657\">26\/4 2020<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nThink goat thoughts<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2020\/200423_miame3.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2020\/thumb_200423_miame3.jpg\" width=\"450\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10157454889503657&amp;set=a.10151787893188657&amp;type=3\">26\/4 2020<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nHey, thanks everyone.
