Getting my weight-bearing exercise over the past couple of days. #osteopenia

Took a bit of a social media break to process my new diagnoses without venting into the void. And I feel like I'm in a good place where I can accept my new reality easier.
I still have more medical tests and things to hopefully rule out as wrong with me but I feel like the news most impactful to my life has already arrived: #CeliacDisease and #Osteopenia

I have some more grieving to do because life is going to look very different than I thought it would, and I'm sure that going #GlutenFree will be frustrating and alienating for some time yet. But I am also very hopeful. That my broken bones will finally heal and I will feel much better after some time. I am so grateful for food options, for growing awareness, and to have words for what's been happening to me.

Late last week I was told that my blood test came back positive for #CeliacDisease. I was suspicious that something was wrong with my digestive system because of #osteopenia and #osteoporosis being discussed (waiting on tests to confirm) but I never felt wheat intolerance in my guts like I feel lactose intolerance so it really blindsided me to hear the news.

I'm on an emotional roller-coaster. After years of disordered eating and really putting my #anorexia behind me after a decade of recovery and learning to eat intuitively and trust and nourish my body.... here I am. I'm not sure how I proceed from here. It's hard not to feel hopeless when I just conquered #FoodFreedom. I feel like I'm having a new eating disorder pushed onto me and I will have no choice but to comb food labels in fear and refuse for the rest of my life.

I have an endoscopy next month so I'm still supposed to eat #gluten but I feel like the freedom to enjoy my life is on a countdown timer. This just feels so bleak. It's not what I wanted for my future. The bad news just keeps coming.

I wish people understood that it's a terrible idea to assume how someone is recovering from a serious injury or health issue.

I'm so exhausted by people assuming that I'm fully healed from shattering my bones just because I'm walking unaided (except for all the metal in/on my bones ofc). It makes it super awkward because I've found out terrible news about my bone health, my fibula is not healing, and my ankle bones are literally growing together (partially due to bone spurs and rapidly disappearing cartilage). When someone is like, "Oh you're all better, it went by faster than you thought, didn't it?" when they see me for the first time in months it makes me so sad and I have no idea how to respond to an assumption like that when I don't want to tell them my business. Because I will very likely never get "better" at this rate but almost everyone in my life is treating me like I should be fine right now.

#3goodthings for today.

1. A quiet day at work made for a low key Monday.

2. My daughter has started baking and made pumpkin bread yesterday, and a sourdough loaf today. So good!

3. I bought a rebounder trampoline months ago to help gain bone density, but had trouble getting the hang of it. Today I followed a friend's advice, and went much more gently into it, which helped me to last longer at it. I think I'm getting the hang of it!
