I had a good, productive day yesterday. I got out to see friends, helped out a teenager with EDS/Dysautonomia that I have been watching a few hours a week while his mom is out running errands (he is a fall risk and can’t be alone), and came up with another embroidery design to work on. Also took Ollivander to the backyard on his harness, which he thoroughly enjoyed. It was an absolutely gorgeous day out and he got to warm his fur in the sun while he watched the birds. Next time I will take pictures of the little floofball.
Doesn’t mean I wasn’t in pain, I was hurting all day, but I can have good days anyway. If I waited for a pain-free day to go out and enjoy myself I would be waiting forever. I go out anyway and enjoy the world so my mind isn’t as focused on the pain. I do reach a point where I have to stop and rest, but that is better than just staying home all the time out of fear of exerting myself.
Yes, I have been in bed for most of today, resting and recovering, but I plan on going out for at least a little bit later. It’s a balancing act. Some days I am better at it than others.
