I don't remember the last bathroom I painted BUT next time I will hire someone ! We still need to paint around the tub and both Brett and I are crippled up today. I need a massage
I forget my limits and push it too far too. I think most people do every so often. Sorry to hear you are once again attending the school of hard knocks.
Enjoy your hard earned down time! You'll feel better soon. (And then begin to re-condition yourself slowly) Oy vey I push myself too. I think we all do sometimes. We get on that roll and just keep on rolling! No pun intended for the painting stuff lol.
I really feel bad for you. Hugs.
I am so bummed right now. The energy in the house is so strained. I can't go to the beach. I am flaring. Really a bummer considering how excited I have been over my Humira. Now this causes doubts. I want Brett and Kelsey to go to the beach but they are floundering. It makes it worse. I also said I don't want them to drive back on that windy road, get a room like we planned and Brett says no way if I am not going. Now if they go I will worry. RA sux. I can't go. Lots of inflamation and pain and I am congested. I would like the house to myself, I would like them and the dogs to have fun. I CAN'T GO SUX BUT FEELING GUILTY IS WORSE. DAMN RA.Roxy~for crying out loud! You have got to learn what you can do and what you can't do. Please.....will you please listen to some advise from some of us that know; once you do recover from this spell try to remember that you can't do everything that you use to do. Especially not all at once. You were barely well for one day and you jumped right in like a mad woman on crack. You totally over did it and now you're questioning whether Humira is going to work or not. Come on....the Humira was working great; but it certainly has it's limits.
You need to accept the small successes in life now. Do not take one moment for granted. When you are fianlly well again please just try to enjoy the simple things in life.
Going for short walks. Cooking dinner with your family. Going to dinner with your family. Taking your daughter to the toy store. Planting a few pots of flowers.
You can't take on home improvement projects and expect to start another one the very next day. Once you feel yourself beginning to hurt. STOP. REST.....Repeat! Give it several days before you get back to it.
I don't mean to be mean.....but is blowing your success worth what little you got done last week? I kind of doubt it......and I'm sure once you again sit on the side lines and watch your family do things without you you'll agree.
You are so so right Lovie. It is just when I feel good, I get hyper. I really do. It is soooooooooooo hard for me to sit around but the price I pay is not worth it. I get bored so easy. Guess it is time to start that puzzle
It's going to take effort on your part; but you can do it. Find some new hobbies that you can look forward to on your good days but not totally over do it like you have this week.
I know it's going to be hard considering you have so many projects around your new house you want to get done. I know how that feels. My husband will yell at me from across the yard if he sees me even half way try to lift something I shouldn't and he insist I stop when he thinks I'm over doing it. Hopefully Brett will soon learn to recognize these triggers with you too and help remind you to take it easy. It's just not worth it.
Hang in there girlfriend. As you well know things can turn around very quickly. This too shall pass.....try not to get too discouraged.
