I'm in quite a bit of pain today. Getting out of the bed feels like a huge challenge. My pain is around a 7 right now and is on it's way up the pain scale as I type this. As soon as my boys got on their bus for school, I went back to sleep and slept until one o'clock. I really didn't want to get up because my head hurts so badly but I feel like a bad mom when I'm in the bed all day. It's not like I'm being lazy. I legitimately hurt and am fatigued because of it. This has been what my week has been like thanks to the spike in the heat and humidity. Tomorrow it will cool down and be in the 70's which will give my head a much needed break. That I'm looking forward to. It's a little after two in the afternoon here and my daughter will be home from school soon. So, on that note, I will try and get up and get something to eat before she gets here and make myself look somewhat presentable. Although my kids understand my pain and the toll it takes on me, I still want to be available to them when they arrive home from school. Even if it's in a limited capacity. I'm going to head to the shower and hopefully that'll give me a little boost. Take care and I hope that those reading this who live with chronic pain are having a low pain day.

I definitely hope you feel better now. Hoping that it indeed cooled down a bit.
ReplyDeleteIt's much cooler today thank you but now I have a migraine due to a lack of sleep last night. So I'm just trying to nap when I can.
DeleteI'm so sorry that you are hurting. I am dealing with the same thing. The heat and humidity and occasional thunderstorms are killer on migraines! I hope you are getting some cooler weather and relief. I try to get cleaned up for my kids too. I want to feel like I am part of their lives even though I miss out on a lot!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm sorry you're dealing with the same stuff. Even if I can't get out the bed I try to look presentable and "human" to my kids.
