Agony Today
With my legs, which feel like huge painful things that don't want to carry me, and my immobilizing, horrible belly/back pain, today is the worst day yet...no, possibly the worst ever. I don't use this space to complain but this pain is awful. Just awful...couldn't take the pain stuff because I've been alone with the baby, but called a babysitter a while ago just so I could. Now if it would just hurry up and start working...pleeeease......

Thank you Connie :).
ReplyDeleteNancy, no, not yet...there are a couple - at least - of different things that are causing me pain and greatly affecting my quality of life...more tests on June 2. Until then, drugs I guess...
I can make a comment about quality of life if you don't mind. We have a set idea about it in this society but since I've had to adjust to a different quality I feel differently about it. Pain isn't fun and I've had to get used to it and there are many who have much worse pain than I do. We learn to adjust as our lives take different turns. You have a great husband whereas my first one pushed me far deeper into an illness I didn't even realize I had. Because of that I have an entirely different life now than I had before and a great husband.
ReplyDeleteFrom the other things you say you have a fairly happy life. You are young to be so uncomfortable but your life might not be what it is if you weren't in pain. Go ahead and complain when it gets too much. Cry if you need to. Do things that you wouldn't have had the time to do if you had been healthy. I quilt when I feel well enough and I love it and I love the fabrics and that makes me feel fulfilled. I don't do the things society make me feel like I should do and don't miss them.
I went out and planted 5 small plants in my flower bed and had to quit. I'll finish it some other day. Life is what we make it. Enjoy it in a new way.
I just wanted to encourage you in a different way. It's like a mountain, it's a long way around so maybe we have to climb it. We're here to learn. My neighbor said to me the other day that our bodies are made to wear out. She just had hip replacement and I'm walking with a cane hoping not to need that. It's just all a part of life.
By the way, you don't have to add this to the comments.
That is sooo true, yet I never thought of it before - that our bodies are made to wear out!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of wisdom in all you wrote, for sure, I've read it over several times, and I truly appreciate you sharing it with me! :) Thank you so much Nancy!
