I am hoping to have a good day tomorrow, as I need to start getting this house straightened up and getting the rest of our stuff up here.
The last few days have been bad for me, ya know those days. I have been taking it easy since Monday and trying not to overdo, but when I do that I tend not to do, because I know once I start something it always blooms into more and then I get grouchy and start yelling at people or even just at the air around me because I am hurting and yet, I do not want to stop what I am doing because I know I should not be hurting after doing so little.
Yeah, I might have had this disease for 26 years but I still do not like giving into it, even if it does mean more pain and me laying in the bed crying and me yelling at folks because I am in pain.
Well, here is to hoping tomorrow is a good day for me and everyone else on this board.
I know how much you want to get things together at your new home. Just try to take regular breaks and stop when you feel it coming on. I know, of course, the pain is always there, but I hope it stays under control long enough for you to get settled.
Happy moving! I'll say a prayer for you.
Hugs, Nini
Thanks for the prayers, Nini Joonie, good luck with all of it. I think it's smart to already set yourself up for some breaks and to come here as an outlet. It is hard when you want to do so much and your body just won't cooperate. I absolutely hate it. Drives me so insane. Hope you feel good and things go easy.
Well, I am ready to vent...
I am taking a break from folding hubby's BIG, HEAVY jeans and shorts!! Man! And here I thought I was missing doing laundry, but after tonight I remember why I gave up doing it so easily... because of his heavy pants and shorts! And getting clothes out of the washer and into the dryer... what a horrific ordeal!!! I mean I have bumped my bad wrist on the side of the dryer door 2 times and then trying to climb over into the washer to pull out hubby's pants is just too much for my hands, all they do is slide out of my hands when I go to pull on them and then my elbows will not extend all the way out to help me just a little. And then.. then... the ball joint of my shoulders are making grinding and popping sounds when I am half way done getting everything out of the washer and then I have to yell for hubby as I cannot reach anything on the very bottom of the washer.
Yeah, I think after the dirty clothes are all caught up, I am leaving the washing up to hubby. I will fold, but not his heavy jeans!!
Off to go get some more out of the dryer and more into the dryer.
I know how you feel Joonie. I finished painting my kitchen and I was so proud of myself, even though it took longer than it should have. But I'm paying for it now. I've been so sore and hurting and feeling sorry and wondering if it was even worth the trouble. I like how it looks though, and I put a new border up all the way around it, and all I can do now is lie on the couch with my heating pads and ponder it.
I'm contemplating all the yard work waiting for me now. I need to keep busy because then I don't have to think about how much I miss my boys. So I'll pop some pills, and get to work so I don't have to think.
You take care of yourself!
