Totally knackered!

I have been completely inactive for longer than I can remember because of chronic inguinal neuropathy, arthritis and fibromyalgia. So like a moron I thought as I am so bored I would go out and use the leaf blower in the front garden!

1.The garden looks much better!

2. It feels somewhat good to have done something physical.

3. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN RUN OVER BY A TRUCK, TWICE, THEN BEATEN BY A RAMPAGING GROUP OF OOMPA LOOMPAS!!!

4. Total fatigue and exhaustion.

Conclusion: next time I will drive up and down the street with the leaf blower pointed out of the car window at the leaves!

Lesson learnt.

p.s. by the way it was a nice sunny day!

So good to read your post (but not about the pain!). I've got heaps of painful back stuff happening and fibromyalgia - so know what you're going through. But you brought a smile to my dial - and I just wanted to let you know that you've done good for someone today! !! 😊

Numbers 3 and 4 I can totally relate to :-) I was up at 5am this morning - it's my usual waking time from before, when I could go out to work - and I was cleaning up some furniture that I bought on eBay - some vintage G-Plan stuff. So, I cleaned every surface up with neat lavender oil...sometimes I just wonder if it's the over-achievers who come down with chronic pain... :-D Hope you feel better soon and thank you for making me smile this morning :-) Best wishes, Wendy x

Hi Dunk, just wanted to say many thanks for the smile (not something I manage too often these days!) is that you in the picture ? If so, it looks as if you have an impressively large garden - do you manage to look after it on your own? I love my garden, but struggle to keep it under control. I do hope your pain settles down soon & the oompah loompas clear off pretty smartish.

Hi BBlondie

Glad it put a smile on your face. Sadly the picture isn't or my garden just a close facsimile.

Enjoy your weekend.

Hey, it's ok. Just make a note of this. You did too much. Maybe next time do only 5 mins. Build up to it. Turn it into part of your Physio ;) Good luck.
