I have hand washed and hung washing out. I have done a small amount of cleaning.
I could use you around my house. LOL.
It is 2:41am and I'm just getting up. The pain woke me up again. I told the doctor about my sleep patterns now and once we get this pain under control it should help. He's ask his partner to come give me a cortisone shot in my shoulder, doubled my pain meds, and is giving me more noninflammatory meds. I am not suppose to use my left arm for about a week, and no more walking outside until the snow and ice are gone.
Sometimes, in fact most times, when we overdo, we must pay a high price for it. I for one, weigh the pros and cons about doing things, but at times, it's something so important I feel I just have to do it anyway. I did a good deed, on top of trying to do house cleaning and turning my living room into a real living room again, and I know better than to do so much housecleaning. But I did it before I did the good deed. Otherwise, I never would have done it as well. I hope that makes sense.
I'm sure grateful to whomever it was that told us about the spoon theory (
http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/) Sunday, at church, a person was talking to me, and she touched my left shoulder. In fact, all morning people were touching my shoulder. I'm sure it was to let me know they felt bad for me (it was obvious I was hurting), but when she said something, I handed her a copy of the theory and ask her to please, go read it.
I've given copies of it to several people. And now they know why I do things the way I do.
When my doctor told me to not move around so much, I gave him my best "You must be joking" look. then told him I was bed bound for those four years, no way am I going back to that again. He looked at me, and then said, "I won't let you go back that far. Just please, try not to do anything that causes you more pain." I love my doctor.
