This morning I did not feel this bad, with the normal daily muscle pains and achy joints. I did all the Aussies, a few times throughout the morning, even planning on going for a walk this afternoon. I did all the Crabby Cabbie invoicing, which took me most of the morning.
About 1:30 pm Rob and I had ourselves lunch, also doing a couple errands afterwards. We got home and I hit the couch.
Now? I can barely move my body it is so heavy, and I just do not feel the best. I have an appointment with the specialist tomorrow, and it is one I can not miss so I must get over this fairly quickly.
What I am going to share is something hopefully others can understand, which was also recently talked about between a fellow Fibromyalgia sufferer and myself. Please take a moment to read the "Spoon Theory" if you be so inclined to do so by *clicking* HERE.
I can identify wholly with the following excerpt:
Its hard, the hardest thing I ever had to learn is to slow down, and not do everything.
This is what I have still not been able to learn to do, and something I battle within myself every day. It also bothers me that I live in a mess most some most days as I am unable to get things done when I have these bad days.
Here is a bit of something to get us all in the mood to celebrate the upcoming Easter Weekend.:

That is all she wrote, as I am heading for my bed since I have run myself out of spoons for the rest of this day, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.
the spoon theory really explains things well.
ReplyDeleteHope it soon passes Cindy.
ReplyDeleteBeen having issues too. Unfortunately don't have a specialist OR a supportive GP.
Get your rest, while you can.
ReplyDeleteGood article, thanks for sharing. I think that a lot of us can relate to the "spoon story", it's a great way of explaining our limitations.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend with Lupus it really runs her life but she is a trooper regardless and does what she can to keep going in life ! Hope you get your R&R and feel better for the Easter weekend !
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Cindy. I've just been suffering with back pain for a week and already I'm fed up with just laying around. Funnily enough the injury was caused by my inability to SLOW DOWN!!! So frustrating!
