Well one good day followed by two bad days....

[sylvi]

Well on Monday i had for me a brilliant day. I got up feeling great and got my big scooter and went to town for hubby to do a few bits. Came home got talking to a couple at the bus stop the lady has RA and knee replacement done twice like me and we was having a lovely chat when hubby rang and asked if i could run up the village and pay the papers as he had to go to a funeral. So i nip home then to pick up the money and take shopping in which hubby did and off i went up the village. In the afternoon i pottered about a bit and we sat with the music on the computer early evening which i enjoyed no end. Then bath and resting on my bed. I gad only intended to go to town then rest the rest of the day.

Anyway had a rough night as i couldn't sleep,so i ended up down here.Yesterday was a total washout as i felt like a wet dishrag. Now whether it was the weather as it had changed and we had some rain or the two trips were just a bit too much i don't know. I did sleep last night,bit i can't get comfy this morning as my back pain is causing all sorts of things,for a start my left buttock is sore and i can't get comfy on it and a funny feeling is going down that leg as well. I am supposed to go out to a luncheon today and at the moment i am not even sure if i am going to make it.

I'd give your gp a call Sylvi, it's probably nothing but you can't take a chance with your back. Does your leg feel numb?

[sylvi in reply to Caza]

I know what it is darling as i am waiting to go into hospital next month for a op on a compressed disc. No it doesn't feel numb as such just strange.xxxxx

[Caza in reply to sylvi]

Yes, I'd remembered Sylvi, that's why I said you should ring your gp, things can change but hopefully it hasn't. X

[sylvi in reply to Caza]

I am getting blood tests this morning so when i have done there i will pop into my surgery and see what they say.xxxxx

[Caza in reply to sylvi]

Good 😊 x

[sylvi in reply to Caza]

I have spent another night on the sofabed and this time my right index finger was the cause as it was and is so painful.We are having blood tests so i will go and see my rheumy and tell her what is happening and when i am in the drs i will speak to my rheumy nurse there as i think i might have also have a chest infection as well.xxxxx

[Caza in reply to sylvi]

[sylvi in reply to Caza]

Lovely photo, Sylvi.

It's hard to find the right balance. I know it's tempting to do what you can when upon feel good. I wonder if it was just a bit too much, given the severity of your back and neck issues at the moment. Lack of sleep makes everything worse. Please keep an eye on any funny feelings or any changes. Better safe than sorry.

It's really hard to get the balance right isn't it? We're all intelligent people, yet we get up on a good day, determined to get the most out of it even though we know we'll pay for it the next day!
