Just thought I would update you on my health.
I feel reasonably well metally and physically and have been getting on doing things, but my right arm hasn't been working to well recently. I cannot use it with any force as the pain in my elbow and shoulder stop me in my tracks. A little frustrating as I am right handed and even peeling a potato is a battle. But I look back over past month and for me I have been well and I am so thankful for that. So the arm thing I can cope with.
I do use wheelchair if I am out shopping as fatigue just wipes me out! and using it helps me stay involved in day to day things in a normal manner. Headaches are few and far between at moment.
My life has changed hugely in the past few weeks, my husband has finished work to become my full time carer. I didnt want to admit to anyone I needed help in such a huge way but who was I kidding, it was just pride rearing its ugly head! Things were just getting ontop of me , I never went out for fear of falling, and I am such a clutz at home I am suprised I havent broken any limbs.
I am also getting very forgetful which upsets me from time to time, it really can be embarrassing when your in conversation with somone and go blank. I do tend to write things down now and leave them somwhere I know I will see and prod my mind into gear, even if its in reverse some of the time.
On the medication side of things I have really reduced tablet intake to just 6 a day I was on over 16 a day, and I feel a lot more alert and in no more pain than when I was on heavier intake.
I did stop taking quinine as there is a lot of evidence that you can loose your hearing on long term use, and cramps seem to have subsided for.
Injections are a doddle, and I am so please at the ease of them, I get a slight site irratation but it goes withing a hour.
I have so much to be thankful for, PRAISE THE LORD.
The Lord has provided for all our needs and I am so thankful. I do not know why we worry about things but we do, we should just pray and put our trust In the Lord and leave our worries with Him.
I am still making cards and little boxes and I love it. I am going to our local resource centre for craft classes and hoping to make new friends in our local area. I have even sold a few cards in the last class.
