The Inevitable Crash and Fall

Today, I have been mostly paying for yesterday’s exertions, as per usual. I managed to get some life admin done late morning.

Been awake since 6.15am in agony. I wrote the day off and rested most of the day, in absolute agony, paying for two hours of fun yesterday at the fibromyalgia etc support group festive lunch.

This evening, dragged myself out of bed, where I rested but couldn’t nap due to the burning in my joints and decided to try and pull myself out of my grumpy, higher pain day mood by nipping to the supermarket for two tinned foods.

Got home, took the wheelie bin in and my legs went from under me, fell on my left side and through some gritty determination, managed to get myself back upright in under a few minutes.

On the plus side, the paced exercise and my physio exercises are paying off and felt incredibly proud of myself for getting slowly back up again without any assistance. 

On the negative, I am now in even more pain and have scraped my left leg and right hand. I will survive. Fibromyalgia sucks but I will not let it beat me.

Today’s steps are in the extras and here is the link if you would like to donate to my paced fundraiser in aid of Alcohol Change UK to help support the charity reduce alcohol harm in the UK:

I hope you have all had a better day! :)
