Days 2 and 3 (Sunday and Monday)

Day 2: Sunday was cold and nasty out for most of the day and everyone just took it easy. Sunday is usually a day to rest anyways for us and I think it is one of the reasons why I always seem to be doing so well when I go to the rheumatologist...my appts are always on Mondays and Tuesdays. Anyways, the only walking I did was to go next door and see the fish that my husband and our neighbor caught. Yes, they did go fishing in 45 degree weather. Anyways, I was doing okay on pain since I stayed down all day, however I did start getting neck pain in the evening a the beginning of a headache. I took some pain meds for that and the horrible mouth sores I have been getting. I finally decided at 10 pm to go take a shower. 5min in and I almost fell trying to keep my balance. My feet hurt so bad. Standing in the shower is the worst. So I hobbled out and back to the couch. Took some more pain meds and went to sleep.

Day 3: Monday was another day of resting. I woke up on the couch and went straight to the bed. I read for about an hour and my husband was so nice as to bring me lunch in bed. After a while I got up and fixed ramen noodles for the kids (they were still home sick yesterday) and then I went back to bed. I napped for about 2 hours and then got up and got dressed to go to my moms house. I went there and sat and visited. She cooked so we all ate dinner. I helped her with the dinner dishes and then had to sit again. My feet and legs were sore. I was a little sick at my stomach too. I am not sure if that was nerves or what. I think I am coming down with what my kids have. I rested a little while and then drove back towards home. I had to stop at Walgreens and get some medicine for the mouth sores. They are very painful this time and one in particular is not wanting to heal. So I used a buggy because that seems to help give me support and I got my medicine and 2 other small items that I needed and headed home. I came in, put PJs on and crashed. I didnt even have the energy for a shower....not that I did much anyways. But I hate days like that, when even a shower or cooking a meal seems too daunting a task.
I am on day 4 now and I will come back later to post..but I can tell you..I am going to bed now..because I am definitely getting sick. Ugghhh. I am also waiting for my RDs nurse to call back. I am going to call and gripe..just for the record...and ask for something for my mouth....and Oh she just called me back. So now I wait for her to call me and let me know what he says. So I am off to bed. Bye now.
