Wow, I feel TERRIBLE.
No beach time or family time for me today, as I am stuck in bed with Mr. Marms (who makes things better, but sadly does not cure the pain!).
Two days ago, I tripped over said cat and fell up the stairs, landing hard on both arms, requiring my good ol’ wrist braces. Along with the wrist pain, I’ve had nerve pain shooting up my elbows, as well as through my right hip, down my leg, and around my lower back. There is a nerve pain party happening in my body and almost every part is invited!!! Wooo!! I wish I had the power to kick them all out of my territory!
Yesterday, I struggled through the pain and went out to the campground to visit family. There was a bonfire going, and I woke up this morning with a full-fledged asthma attack after virtually no sleep. Add in the lung-opening puffers, and I’m a shaky, heart-palpitation-filled mess on top of the party of unruly nerves. Go-go painkillers! Please keep me half comfortable for a change!
Either way, I’m a bed-bound disaster thanks to these wonderful illnesses that so many of us know and love (ha. right.).
I feel bad because it is a beautiful day out, and I wanted to take part on the nice days and stay in on the rainy days, but no such luck. I have to realize that I can’t keep up with all the healthier people in my family, and take some time to help myself recover.
True story.
Anyone else stuck in their bed today?

Not stuck in bed today,but have been in your boat. I cannot stray to far from my “pacing” habit or I pay for it too! I fell down the stairs a few months ago, and the pain(s) that came with it have just started to disappear.
I walked into the kitchen a few weeks ago, tired and sluggish and just said out loud: “I wish I had my old body back so I could be the person I used to be”….my 16 yo daughter said “Me too mommy”…..it was so nice of her to empathize, but I realized how much my kids feel the losses I have felt too.
Prayers to you! Keep your spirits up.
Ugh,that sounds miserable! I’ve had days like that
I’m so sorry you’re suffering like this right now! Let the healthy people keep up with each other; you can only do what you can do. Maybe more 30 Rock is in order for today? Or, do you watch Community? That’s my go-to show when I’m sick or unhappy 
Yes. Today. And I ran out of energy yesterday because when I came home to sleep after a good day, guess what? My air conditioning was broken. So I had to quickly pull stuff together & venture out again to someone else’s house to sleep. Then this morning I had to rush back over to my apartment to meet the maintenance people & get to the dirty dishes in the sink…..
Now I just wish I could stay in bed for three days straight except that I have SO much to do!!!!
In sympathy,
Abigail
Sarah Allegra, I love Community! Such a funny show. I’m on 30 Rock right now because I haven’t seen all of the episodes yet!
Abigail, I’m sorry your air conditioner broke, it makes sleeping so much harder. I don’t have one in my house, and it’s just so miserable and hot in the summer!
Annie, I’m sorry to hear about your fall…all of mine have left me in a fair amount of pain :/. And yes, I’d love to have my body back too, and give everyone in this position their bodies back in good shape! I know how much it affects family members, and it’s sad.
