So after a bad nights sleep( daughter got in 2.30 )took pain meds and other meds by mid morning felt okay so thought i would clean bathroom,we have a shower room which was fitted after hubby had stroke,cleaned the tiles down with a thing on a stick,cleaned wash basin and toilet thought thats enough ,had lunch took Daisy advise and had a nice nap,tried to get up to make a cupper knees and shoulders had stiffened up,hands were throbbing and a little puffy,hubby wasnt very happy with me daughter said oh mother so now i have been spoilt she got tea ready,he washed up and then made me tea and cake,was it worth it. :?: now other pain meds have kicked in yes ,but i dont think i will try it again.Mig

    Its always nice for the family to pamper you a little bit, it shows that they care and appreciate you. Try not to overdo it tomorrow, have a rest. Take care xx

    I know exactly how you feel...I've overdone it packing and running back and forward from room to room and up and down stairs and i',m suffering now even though hubby did make the tea and is washing dishes as well.. Why do we do it when we know what the outcome will be :eek:
    We never learn :oops:

    Yes Val you are right........last holidays when packing I had to take it reasonably easy but this year was 2 speeds......dead slow and stop and it was so frustrating :x
    But I've learned my lesson for next time {hols} but no doubt I'll have times when like everyone else I feel better and over do it....as you say we cant let arthur win!!!!!! :shock:

    Hope after yesterdays chores you managed to sleep well and that today you feel better. Try to pace yourself today.

    I bet if we are very honest we all go and over do it on a good day! I had a family friend surprise me with a visit yesterday morning hadn't seen him in over 10yrs! So he was surprised to see me the way I am now. But of course I pottered around trying to make out all was fine! This morning I have woken to a very sore and stiff right foot and ankle. A case of over doing it.
