Went out last for the first time in a long time

Jul 03, 2009 - 1 comments

Went with my daughter to get a few things at Walmart. I pushed the middle age walker (cart) to give me some support.
The lights there bother me terribly. That was yesterday evening. Today I could hardly move. My hips , low back,shoulder, and legs were stiff and painful most of the day. I finally took a Lortab 5/325 this afternoon and it helped some. I know an anti-imflamatory would be better however I cannot take NSAIDS.
We have a family gathering on Sunday. I was hoping to stay home but my husband has asked me to please go. This is his first social event since he had his ruptured aneurysms in December. He is doing so well,gaing strength and his speech is getting better and only has a few problems being understood.
I like seeing family, but I was hoping to have some alone time.
I am going to bed early so I can get up early it takes me a whole day to get myself prepared to go somewhere like this.
When I am in a flare like this I am so slow and have to prepare myself emotional and physically. Yes i am really this odd. I guess this is why I ralely go anywhere. This will probably knock me down all next week.

Oh, gosh, very sorry.  Know it, been there.  Wouldn't it be nice to spring out of bed for a change?  And go enjoy friends and family and not spend the next two weeks recovering?  Hope you'll get there this time better.  Sorry about your husband, glad he's getting better.  I'm dealing with that, too.  Have almost lost him 4 times now over the last 5 years, and we're still working on it.  We kinda walk around leaning into each other to hold each other up.  Sounds kinda funny, but it's really not.  But humor helps even when it doesn't seem to.
