It really has been a long and stressful week – and I don’t mean because this blogging week includes two weekends!

 

I have a lot of family stuff going on at the moment, which is not very nice and shouldn’t ever have happened, but it has and we all just have to deal with it. Unfortunately, dealing with it brings with it a nasty fibro flare-up and very nasty acne on my back bad enough that It actually hurts to lean against anything or lie on my back (which I have been doing an awful lot in my sleep lately…) Fortunately, I think I’m over the worst of the flare-up now, but events tomorrow and at the beginning of December could well change that. Unfortunately, I am not at liberty to divulge any details at the present time, but I am sure all will become apparent (and probably public knowledge) in due course. Until that time, you’ll just have to take my word for it that things are not good. In fact, a lot worse than just “not good”. Bloody awful comes close, but I do not think any words can describe exactly what is going on with my family at the moment. Maybe I’ll try drawing something to represent how bad things are…

 

I have not slept properly for the last week, partly because of recent events, and partly because of the pain in my legs, which is worse than usual, but at least I have managed to get rid of the walking stick. My hands have been painful too, so I have not been able to cross stitch or knit for very long, but I have persevered and the pain in my hands has at least eased enough for me to cross stitch a bit more. The pain in my legs is not promising to ease up any time soon, so I have had to increase my pain meds for the time being. Hopefully that will help combat the pain that is starting in my shoulders and upper arms too…

 

Despite awful goings on, I am very happy with my home life and the wonderful relationship I have with my lovely husband. He truly is a godsend. Yesterday we went to the garden centre and bought quite a few beautiful plants for under £20 (that’s a total, not individual prices!) for our garden, including a buddleja, which I am quite excited about – it’s pink!! My lovely husband will be planting these out this week. I think the others we got were ivy and wall flowers, but I’m not too good with plants, so don’t hold me to that!

 

Anyway, the fibro-fog is starting to set in again now, so I will return next week with more updates. I’m sure this family stuff will sort itself out, so I’m trying not to worry about it. Too much.
