Hiyaaaaaaaaaa How are we all????????
I hope you feel as good as I do at the minute, well more so in mind than body but its a start...................
I think the visit to the specialist has really lifted me, and all the positive messages I am receiving from you guys reading this is fantastic, and I have always know I am not alone but I am now feeling it and I hope this feeling remains.
I am so not looking forward to the lumbar puncture though, obviously I will go ahead with it I just hope its not a painful as it looks!
I had an earlyish night on Monday after the hospital and friends visit, and woke up yesterday feeling really good which was an unexpected but most welcome surprise, so after catching up with the news and sports news in the morning I decided I would do a few chores whilst I felt good.
I put some washing on, I did a small amount of washing up, and then after having rests in between I did manage to hoover, although I was completely knackered after doing it, I was very proud and happy with myself that I had managed all those things.
Sometimes the tiredness, headaches and muscle pain after doing something can be instant and at other times it can be a few days after the event, there is just no controlling at the minute when it will come, but the important thing is I know it will come and when it does I know now that instead of trying to be a hero and plodding on I must listen to my body and rest.
OMG..........I even cooked tea!!!! I made sweet and sour chicken, it doesn't take too long to make and it was tasty!
So today I'm feeling the tiredness kick in.................I think if this CFS stays in my body much longer I'm going to have to charge it rent, then again its such a bad tenant it should leave but I think it has claim squatters rights! I will evict it one day though.
I'll be at the docs tomorrow morning too, for some more bloods..........yeh! I hate it, I never used to be so wimpy on blood but for some reason when I have it taken now I have to look away as I feel faint else.
I will also be going into work for a chat about things, I'm not worried though, I'll just be honest with them as I always am, and they have been fab, I know sometimes you can grumble about work etc...........but I must say I am happy with my work and how they have reacted to my illness and that has helped me too, and I will recover because I'm just so determined too, and I want to get back to work, as sitting at home each day is really not good for you in so many ways.
I may even start to look forward to the weekend, our neighbours have a U festival each year (as it come before V) Clever! And they have invited us over, so if I'm ok on the day I may pop over for a little bit and if i start to be unwell its only 2 seconds back home..................I just hope we have some nice weather!
Well see you all tomorrow...............I'll let you know how I get on at the docs and work............
Todays picture was taken in 2007 in Li Li Chinese Resturant in Cuba...............I always find a chinese somewhere!
Have fun
