We have had two days off. I've accomplished a little. Mostly, I've rested. Dwain was gone Saturday until mid-afternoon. He watched our grandson, Patrick's shooting competition. I wanted to go, but I felt like I needed to stay home. Between working in the park and going to baseball games, I can't keep up my housework, I'm exhausted. This month's park duties are lighter, so I'm hoping each day I will work my way out of this flare.
Saturday afternoon a high school classmate came by for a visit. While he was here, my Aunt stopped by. Both were good visits.
Today, was an easy-going day. Dwain fixed a yummy pot roast in the dutch oven for dinner. As I write, we are sitting next to a nice campfire. Dwain is off to get a hot dog! Myself, I'm waiting for the wood to burn down to fix a smore!!!
You can .... take time to visit with your spouse.
You can .... stretch your muscles multiple times a day.
You can .... smile often, it's better than frowning.

My family loves camping and sitting by a campfire. Of course, smores make it all the better:) Hope you continue to rest and improve.

ReplyDeleteI want to ask a question. its affecting my whole body it was my hips and legs and I couldn't drive they are a little better my back and shoulders and neck always hurt but most of all my carpal tunnel and hands and fingers hurt terrible so can't drive I can't grip the steering wheel don't know if this will ever get better so depressed. does anyone have this problem????
ReplyDeleteYES!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you on medication for your FM?
For me, when my pain is worse (called a flare)I need to rest my body. Sometimes just 15 minutes helps alot. You probably have a problem with your arms and hands feel like they have fallen "asleep" and they tingle. Please take time for yourself and rest your body. Hugs
