For the first time in a year I am finally sleeping in my room. I had to shift to my sister’s room. Her room has an attached bathroom. I could not walk across the hall every time I needed to use the washroom. I used to often cry because of it.
Today I slept in my own bed. Although there was a little pain, I still could make it across the hall without falling. It felt redeeming.
Other highlights of the day, I made lunch today. I once again took my time. It felt good. I also wanted to bake some bread but I was exhausted by the cooking. As such, I choose to stop for the day. Small successes are still a success, I remind myself and then everything feels like a blessing.
Other than that I did not do much else. The weather is so cold all I want to do is curl up under my blanket and sleep.

What things are you doing to help with the pain? To ease it? Do you have low energy?

My doctor has given me pills which I would need to take for the rest of my life. The hope is that over time the pain reduces and I can achieve some level of normalcy. I get exhausted because of the pain, I start the day wanting to do so much but halfway along my body kind of shuts down. I am learning to listen to it. Earlier I used to get frustrated and think that I am worthless which was effecting me emotionally. Now, I am trying to heal my soul and my body. Little by little.
