Well for 2 weeks Ive barely eaten due to bowel stuff and have felt pretty weak and wimpy and havent been on my DHC pain meds as no food in stomach. Yesterday I actually managed to eat a little and although I did not sleep at all for pain last night I was pretty limber this morning.
.....so I cleaned out the kitchen cupboards washed all the glass jars for recycling, washed pots, cleaned the floor, cooked dinner luckily for today and tomorrow, drove my. daughter to her flat and back, to shops for milk we had forgotten, picked up my youngest from college as she was feeling unwell, looked after my granddaughter whilst my daughter went for an interview................. :eek:
guess what, I sat down and twenty minutes later the pain kicked in even a really hot bath didnt do its usual magic so little food or not DHC pain meds it is.
And here was I thinking this morning ooh yes its gone away hoping for good....
ok stop laughing now Im so naive after 6 yrs still expecting it could just go away overnight.
My daughter just asked me if I wanted to go shopping with her tomorrow
Hope everyone else is having a good day.

You did an awful lot Theresa but sometimes it is nice to get things done. It's just we don't know when to stop. Hope the pain is gone by tomorrow and you get some sleep. I used to push myself to finish things and wouldn't dare sit down until everything was finished because I knew i would never get back up again due to the pain.
