This was sent to me by a friend recently:

If you're happy and you know it - stay in bed

If you're happy and you know it - stay in bed

If you're happy and you know it -

getting up will surely blow it

If you're happy and you know it - stay in bed.

But.... Oh! Isn't it inviting???

Thought I would join in - breaking the rules..............so we both get told off.

(Sing It! tp the tune of My Favourite Things.

If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!

Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,

Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,

Bundles of magazines tied up in string,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,

Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,

Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,

These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,

When the knees go bad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,

No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,

Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',

Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',

And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,

When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache, When the hips break,

When the eyes grow dim,

Then I remember the great life I've had,

And then I don't feel so bad.

Honestly.. there are days when I crave the warmth and comfort of my bed and because I’m single I can do that. But I don’t make a habit of it and I’m easily bored. If you have hurt yourself, ie can’t weight bear on a knee or a hip then I recommend resting icing heating snd some patience as I’ve learned that judicial testing can bring about healing quicker than soldiering on. The pain relief it takes to keep upright has affected my stomach so it’s a juggling act judging what is most debilitating. Today I’m back to bed for an hour after upset tummy and sleeplessness. It won’t last though.

I am my own worst enemy, I feel crap hard to get up brain fuzzing , but still I am out in the garden and digging and moving shrubs and planting up. Need it !!! Or do I . Don’t the answer after 15 yrs of PMR .

jinasc profile image
jinasc in reply to Avadip12

Probably. The oxygen supply to your muscles is impaired and all that digging etc is not helping at all. What is more you know that - so why push and not give them time to recover?

Avadip12 profile image
Avadip12 in reply to jinasc

I am getting a bit better , I will only do a few hours a day . I won’t push through the pain any more. X

πŸ˜‚ I love it! Some days with severe pain are like that. ❀️
