My ability to move has been stalled due to a toe tumor for a few months now. Just had surgery 2 weeks ago. I am limited weight bearing and cannot do any lower body exercies. I want to run, jump, skip, and hop. I used to exercise 5-6 days a week for at least an hour at a high intensity. A very big benefit was burning off cortisol and adrenaline to control my anxiety. I have at least 6 more weeks until I can even think about putting some weight on my foot.
I tried mat pilates a few days ago and couldn't do it. Just the incidental movement was too much. I feel trapped in my own body. I know just like the seasons this is my time to recover and renew my body so I can bloom in the spring.
Just trying to understand why life keeps throwing punches and knocking me down. What did I do to deserve this? How do I get moving again?

I am doing stretching and upper body work either sitting or lying down. Weird thing is I really don't like running, never have, but there is this desire in my to run like a gazelle and never stop. Thank you for reaching out.
Yes, it was my clue to get to the gym and do some intense cardio or a Hiit workout and push myself to the max. I would push myself past that uncomfortable feeling until I could feel that release of endorphines kicked in and started working. Escaping my feelings was definately the goal and helped me make it through my day.
Not being able to freely move feels like I am trapped.
