Ouch!

Yesterday was all about promotion and tidying up and adding to the website.

Alas that wasn't to be.

One of my symptoms is stiff muscles and muscle spasms. When I'm walking (a rare event) I have a tinman look going on. I hope you get the picture, it's not attractive.

It's crazy how you start to hanker for the things you can't have anymore. In my head I used to be this really graceful person who floated into rooms in her heels and a beautiful dress. The truth? Give me a pair of jeans and boots any day of the week.

I'd like to be able to go jogging but as my other half likes to point out "you never went jogging before, when you could have done it".

These realities don't help very much, she thinks wistfully.....

Anyway, I digress. So yesterday, I'm sat at the table in the kitchen, thinking about what to do with the website and hoping that people share my fund page, website and facebook group because that's all so important. I'd been sat for about 30 minutes and I could feel the stiffness and pain setting in so I stood up. I normally do this while holding on to the table, my muscles do their spasm thing, they settle and I sit again.

Yesterday however the spasm was so strong that it knocked me backwards and before I could grab the table to hold myself up i went backwards, smacking the base of my spine on the floor. Ouch! The problem then becomes how to get up and since I was home alone I spent a fair while on the floor before I could feel enough in my legs to move.

I don't know why I try to do this graceful, swan like delicate fall? I think I believe that by doing that I'll float to the floor like a leaf on the breeze. However, being (a bit) overweight it's a sack of potatoes or nothing.

Mind you, I did trip once close to a pole holding up a shelter. I fell, grabbed hold of it and worked that thing like any self respecting pole dancer!

So, for most of this weekend I've been sat with a hot water bottle on my lower back because it bloody hurts.

If sitting is a bit more comfortable tomorrow I'll tell you a bit more about me and my family.

So that's me signing off. Me and my unattractive tinman legs!

Mwah!
