Last week was a bit difficult pain wise, I think the gastric flu stirred up my body and is causing a lot more pain.
The colder weather isn’t helping either, I love the winter but nowadays the winter doesn’t love me! The cold makes my conditions worse, I’ve started waking in extreme pain again, when I am sleeping which is difficult again.
I can’t seem to switch off at the moment, I lay there so tired that my eyes are burning but I just cannot switch of my brain and drift to sleep. Painsomnia mixed with insomnia.. Is not fun! But hey, it could always be worse and I can’t wake up! 🙂
It was a quiet week, my mum visited which was nice, and brought food for myself and son.. Bless her she does still love to feed people 🙂
My son has been buying new furniture for our home which is lovely, I haven’t been able to buy any big purchases as money is so tight. But he is insisting he wants to, and along with new cabinets he is getting a new corner sofa for the front room! We’ve always wanted one, the room is a perfect shape and I’ll be able to lay on it as sitting up is difficult. but alas I’ve never been able to buy one as even before becoming ill most of my money went in bills and daily living. But now we will not only have a new corner sofa, but one that goes into a double bed which will come in handy!
I’m touched by him doing this, he’s worked hard and saved his money up for these items and I’m so lucky that I have such a considerate, thoughtful son. He said awhile back that he wants to provide towards the home, I’d paid for everything for 19 years, brought him up and it was now his turn to do so, and look after me. He’s a great lad :,)
I’m still healthy eating and find it does help with my energy levels, I am not as sluggish now. I have the odd biscuit now and then but I find I cannot manage as much food or type of food I used to eat. I naturally go for a tangerine or apple now instead of chocolate.. Wow, I never thought I’d see the day that happened! Miracles do exist.. 😉
