So my kids are in sports at a local sports complex and now that I am doing much better I have been spending up to 3 days a week there. The problem is, the seating is bleachers! When I first started attending, I would bring my my camp chair and it did not bother me as there was NO POSSIBLE WAY I could sit on the bleachers. (Even before surgery my family would lecture me that I should bring a chair to sit in due to my poor back). Problem is, I am now feeling self conscious. The chair has to go to the front of the bleachers to be able to see anything and it's like "Hey, look at me!" I just want to blend in. I have tried a pillow but then my back feels 'exposed' and I hate the feeling that someone is going to bump into me!!!!
I guess I know what you will all say as I would tell someone in my shoes the same....protect your back, it is not worth it. But anyone else tired of feeling this way? I went to the movie the other day toting a pillow and wondered what people thought. I just gotta quit feeling self conscious I guess. I am thankful to be there watching them. It brings me great joy!
