Well, I did make it to the gym this afternoon. I was already in a lot of pain, but took some extra meds. I didn't do a full session. My body just couldn't have coped with it.
Had to do some grocery shopping afterwards, and we met up with some friends at the shops. Stopped and had a drink with them. I was just about in tears when one of the women started to compare her pain with mine. (She has polio and bursitis). Saying how she gets so frustrated not being able to do things she wants to. Boy, do I relate to that! She kept telling me that she knew exactly how I feel. Not to be nasty, but no she doesn't. We can both relate to being in pain, and feeling frustrated about what it limits us too, but no two people experience the same thing the same way. By the time we got back to the car, I screamed as I leaned in to get the umbrella for Joan. John told me to sit in the car. That made me scream even louder due to the agony. I couldn't take any more pain meds as it was too soon for them. Have been sitting for a while now. Have had more pain meds and my night time meds to help me sleep. Hopefully I'll have a better night's sleep than I have been lately. That would be a really nice surprise.

That's a moral victory. You gave it your best.

That's something that I've learned too. There's no way to know exactly how someone else feels. You can't walk a mile in their shoes. It's a good thing to keep in mind when someone does or says something that makes you upset with them.

As I said to the rheumatologist the other day, I get so frustrated at the gym, because I feel like I'm not doing anything when I get there. Sometimes, my exercise session could be over in about a minute or two. Stupid.
I used to be like this friend, saying that I knew what they were going through and how they felt. I've come to realise, BIG TIME, that I don't. It's been a big wake up call for me. I'm a mercy person, and now, I've become even more so.

Not too bad, thanks.
Slept a lot longer than I was supposed to during the day, but managed to get some of the things done that I'd wanted to, as well as some unplanned things. Still have a lot more to get done, and hopefully tomorrow I'll have the motivation to do it. I have to change the timing of one of my meds as I think that's what's making me sleep so much during the day. We'll see if that works. I just know the rheumatologist isn't happy with me sleeping during the day. If the time change doesn't work, then I might just have to come off of it.

I hope so too. I changed it for the first time today, so it'll take a little while to find out if it makes any difference.
None of our household made it to church today. One of the guys from church though felt that he had to give us a book. He came over when he found out that we weren't at church today. Thankfully we only live about 10 minutes from church. He ended up staying for lunch and for quite a long chat before heading back to church to do an evangelism course our church is running.
Still didn't get all the things done today that I would have liked. Partly because of my sleepiness, and partly due to friend being here. Oh well.
We have the friendship group meeting here tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I'll be there. Maybe I'll do some of my project whilst they are here. Sometimes they bring craft or other things to do. I'm trying to get some recipes written down on cards to send to a US penpal. She wants to exchange recipes. What she doesn't know is that I'm going to send her a whole pile of them in a recipe box, all on indexed cards for soups, main meals, desserts etc. It's going to take a long time to do, so I need to get started as soon as I can so that I'm not rushing, making my writing illegible. I'll send recipes of things you don't get in the US.

What a wonderful gift for your pen-pal, Trish! I'm sure she'll appreciate all those recipes, as well as all your hard work. Will it be a Christmas present?

Yes, I'm doing it for a Christmas gift for a penpal.
I may do a second one, as one of my penpals has her birthday on Christmas Day.
They are both in the US, so I'll send them recipes of things we eat here and England, that you don't eat. I'm trying to leave plenty of time, so I don't rush and make it illegible.

Hi Trish! I just saw this thread and wanted to say hello. I hope you are feeling better. I understand the sleeping thing, my mom sleeps for 20 hours straight sometimes. Bless you and all you go through.

Thanks, everybody, for all of your prayer. Much appreciated.
If you feel led, please feel free to pray for a car for us. The one we've been borrowing lately has to go back to its owners today.

It's honestly going to have to be a case of the Lord providing, as we serioulsy don't have the finances to buy another vehicle. We have lots of medical appointments and things to attend, so the sooner it arrives, the better it will be.
I hope you all have a great day.

We've got some shopping to do in the afternoon.
