I hate to say this, but I have done it again… #Pain

I hate to say this, but I have done it again…

I always seem to suffer after most of the jobs I do, especially the ones that push me to the limit of my strength and patience.

I keep being told that I am 8o and not superwoman anymore, but it’s so hard to ignore the things I have always managed to do. Our family’s long-standing joke is that ‘the impossible jobs are always Jaye’s jobs’.

I did expect my muscles to have a bit of a moan the day after the new bed/couch arrived, but I wasn’t prepared for the pain that greeted me when I opened my eyes the following morning.

I seem to have either pulled or twisted something in my right hip, which is causing pain to course down my leg to my knee. Despite copious amounts of stretching, I can’t seem to release it.

I cannot sit, stand or lie down without this pain, and when I could feel the beginnings of muscle spasms, I knew I had really done it this time.

The thing about intense pain, it renders everything else obsolete. Thinking of any kind just isn’t happening, much to my annoyance. I am taking a hefty dose of turmeric, and some magnesium to offset the spasms. I stretch regularly, even though it hurts like hell.

Three days of this and I think I might be losing my mind, but it can’t last forever. My body will heal itself eventually.

Today, I am determined to have a normal working day, and I hope for a much better weekend!
