I have not been well enough to write:
It all started last thursday lunch I tried to stop myself from chocking and nearly blew a gasket! but the next day my throat was swollen and my head was banging like a base drum.
I thought wonderful a cold to go with the fibro pains I was beginning to feel in my arms ( the type when your arms have had the skeleton removed and they are like rubber) well I carried on.
Friday and Saturday nights I had my grandson Rhys and we did what I felt I could. His mum came to collect him on sunday early to give me an opportunity for early bed.
I didnt know which way to turn. My daughter and I made dinner and went to lay and watch television for a while.
The pains in my head were like hot pokers stabbing me at various points on the left side of my skull towards and away from my left ear.
The best part was I followed all my normal regimes :
step away from stress .... yeh right I had fun with my grandson, and I was stressing over other family matters.
step away from exercise : mmm I walk to the local shop, and hang out my washing.... I could just about hang out half the laundry when I begged my daughterwho had just walked in from work.
My arms felt like chewy! and I knew if I was a cartoon I would look like one rubber man out of the fantastic 4!!! hee hee !
Step away from loud irritating noises: I live close to where the TT course is and the motor bikes one week ago where speeding it round the quarterbridge, but it really felt like my back garden.!!!
So as you can see all my 'step aways' where impossible until tuesday this week when my daughter has her normal day from work and she spoiled me. I stayed in bed but when I had to get up I walked like I was on a stormy pirate ship! she cheered me on, telling me jokes and reading out the titles of facebook pages that where just statements people may have said!
I know that it sounds like my step aways didn't work but it did not matter because laughter with my daughter and some well chosen comedy films by us both kept my spirit strong. Even now I am still on my bed not feeling as bad but felt the need to share this with you all. I had created my own personal 'step away' .
My shooting pains in my head may still be there but when I smile or laugh it distracts me.... makes me realise how blessed I am ........

And Remember look for your Step away and keep doing it. (c)
