New Year Old Problems ( CRPS Post )

I have really had enough of this weather and the fact that we are now promised snow and ice is enough to make me either become a bear and hibernate or go on a long hot holiday. Not because I am a sun worshipper or even hate the pretty sight of snow glistening. It is a the fact that since we have had this storm like weather  the pain in my back and hips has been intolerable. It has got so bad today with the sudden drop in temperature that I have personally turned the air blue with Anglo Saxon and several other languages.

However that doesn't mean that I can get out of the jobs for the day like remove the Christmas decorations and wedding anniversary. And here lies the problem. Having attended the first of what is probably going to be many trips to the pain support clinic, they instructed me to stop working on the roller coaster of pain. What that means is I am not meant to over do it  then suffer and know when to take it easy. That's brilliant in principle but I have a husband who just doesn't or won't understand. hence I am doing the Christmas decorations myself. Unfortunately the real world and the ideal world are two very different places.

So whilst I can't do a thing about the weather, the one thing I should be able to correct I can't. On top of this there is little more the doctor can do with pain medication with out comatose me, which will solve nothing. So it becomes a case of grit and bare it, whilst educating the neighbours of various insults in Czech, Hebrew and Cypriot. However this comes with its own issues, the fact that I actually do grit my teeth and in the process break already weakened teeth,  so thanks to this bout of pain I have yet another trip to my dentist next Thursday to review this rounds damage. In fact I have got so much tension in my jaw I have caused swelling in my cheeks and currently the entire family are calling me a chipmunk.

All this has meant my 6th wedding anniversary comes courtesy of hubby's evening job, pizza and ice cream and guess who is on the ice cream.
