That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure I've forgotten some, but you get the idea.
Sorry to whinge and whine but I just needed to get that off my chest
If you're having a pain free day, appreciate it...for me.
This made me teary... because I know how you feel... and really on a purely selfish note, it's nice to know there is someone out there who I can relate to, and they can relate back to me. Bad days are shitty... and I'm sorry you are having one of those days. It's exhausting. So, I hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

Will do Thea. I would be the worst whinger if that was me so dont worry about whinging.
ReplyDeleteCrappy days suck. I hurt my back a few years ago and when I have a bad day, everything just sucks. Hope tomorrow is better hon xx
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are in pain, I have back and neck problems from two car accidents long ago and some days I just want to whinge too.
ReplyDeleteHugs *empathy* (of only a minor kind, inured my wrist very badly last week and it still hurts to do anything- you are amazing to keep functioning)
