My husband has days like these, we now call them treat days. As he spends the day in bed or wrapped up on the sofa and gets to watch his fav tv or film and I bring him his comfort food and drinks. The children snuggle up with him and we all have a quiet , rest day and usually that helps to make his va va voom come back x x

Hi, has taken me a long time to accept the fact that life now has to be at a slower pace! Got a bus into town today and have visited nice coffee shops just watching people and reading a little! Just fancied company of people but didn't want the pressure of talking if that makes sense? Hope you feel better and rested tomorrow x

Before my BI I was a very busy person and I sometimes find it hard to realise that I cannot be like that anymore. I always feel guilty when I have a rest day though I am more and more starting to enjoy it and am stopping beating myself up for not doing things. I try to find restful things to do like sewing or reading so I don't feel guilty for doing nothing and that way it seems more of a treat for me.
