in spite of my gripabilities
The past few days have been a whirlwind of pain and pleasure. On Friday morning I hurried about trying to get a couple of things done and my studio cleaned for the day of teaching and I did something that just didn't feel okay. Not sure even what it was now, but I remember the twinge of pain and thinking that didn't feel right. But Friday night I was in quite a bit of pain and it has steadily grown since that time to almost a disabling state. I have been praying for release and relief. It does seem to be improving a little this morning, though typing this is a little painful in itself.Jackie gave me some topical reliever and I have some arthritis rub. I've taken tylenol some.We had Liv for the weekend and that was a sweet blessing. She helped me with cooking and house cleaning. She's such a little woman!!The Woodall family Christmas party was sweet and the weekend was capped with a visit from my daughter and her intended. It was nice to share the time.This morning I've been working about the house. I feel like a one armed man. I understand why he would kill someone. I have no one I wish to kill. But I think it might help justify the pain somehow!! I have much to accomplish this day. I hope I can get a little of it done without any major disasters. Be blessed my friends. I am in spite of all my gripabilities.

I sure am hoping the pain is not a harbinger ... maybe a day of music, cocoa and a good book would be a theraputic day.
ReplyDeletethat sounds like an awesome guilt trip to send myself on with all that must be accomplished. seeing as how i've resorted to typing with my left hand only and am concerned that driving might pose a danger to myself and others, i don't know why i should feel guilty. but there is this nag inside that says 'get up and get at it.'
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see you both yesterday. I hope your shoulder gets better soon and with luck we'll see you again around New Year :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are in so much pain praying for relief an hope it is soon coming,
ReplyDeleteI too will be praying for the pain to be gone. Age has a way of playing dirty tricks with us at times, but we do the best we can and go on. Thankful for your sweet time with family, it always lifts the spirits. I will pray you take your time at the tasks at hand my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donna. I have no choice but to be quite reserved with my efforts right now. The pain and weakness take over. I'm just praying it lets me go soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was a good weekend. Even with the pain, wish it was without the pain.
ReplyDeleteme too. afraid I wasn't much of a hostess. and i enjoyed Liv, but i wasn't a very good gramma. we still had a decent weekend. i'm really glad i had so much going on because even though it was painful, i was limited in what i could try to do for a couple of days. may have helped me to move toward healing a little.
