I know things have been a bit erratic here on my blog lately, and if you are reading this as someone who has emailed me, and I haven’t replied, then I’m sorry.
I am playing catch-up. I am starting to get back on top of things. I am having more good days since my really bad period a month ago, but I’m still struggling.
But on the flip side, I woke up this morning and couldn’t take my daughter to school. There just wasn’t enough time for the painkillers to start working, for me to be able to leave the house – let alone have the light on or open the curtains. I was pleased that I managed to get to their room, find them some clothes, and get them dressed on my own this morning.
I’m ok now. Tired, and hurting still, but managing. I’ve opened the curtains, and eaten a few biscuits. I’ll be fine for a few hours later, once I’ve shaken off the last of it and probably only after taken another dose of pain meds. Then later it will be another early night, attempt to sleep and I will have again lost a chance to work. Today is an OK day. I can manage life this afternoon OK today. The girls have a friend coming over after school which actually helps sometimes as they are great at entertaining each other, and their friend won’t care that I haven’t been able to vacuum!
Things are getting better. James is booking me a doctors appointment to try to help sort things out. I’m stressed as hell about some things and I’m trying to chip away at it so my to-do list isn’t so long, and I’m prioritising. Putting on a good face to the outside world.
If I haven’t emailed you back or my blog is being neglected, it’s because Real Life comes first sometimes and that is taking most of my energy right now. I’m sorry.
Chronic pain sucks.
Sending love and hugs! I hope things are better for you soon x
