New thread as I waffle more than I realise! (giggle)
It actually feels cool!!! I'm amazed!!!! And tired
Love the thread title :)
It's so me! ;)
I somehow suspected it was your thread, I wonder how ;)
No idea Mike (angel)
Absolutely you :)
Definately you :)
How is the drinking going?
Surprisingly really well!!! Almost had 2 litres and it's about 10 degrees cooler so coping much better. Still not weeing much though... I've even been downstairs all afternoon as I watched the rugby with my dad. Not the result I wanted but I did it and being around my parents for so long was tiring but it was good to get a break from my room.
Well done. That amazing! Not so long ago you found it difficult to get through even a glass of something. You are doing so well. Awesome!
That’s a huge post! Well done, lovely :)
There is still that little voice in my head that tells me that it's pathetic that I struggle with something most people do every day, but it's getting easier to ignore.
You are amazing! That post is so positive. You seem to be looking after you better too?
The weather has made drinking a necessity over the last few days but J has also started being devious... he's started getting my mum to back him up so I'm being ganged up on at home! :(:
Good! As long as it's making you drink!
The last few days I haven't needed much reminding as I've been doing it off my own back.
That's even more impressive!
How are you today?
Because of the weather or because you’ve got used to it?
I would say the weather. Yesterday I was just thirsty. Today will be a test as it's 10 degrees cooler than it has been.
I'm ok but flaring a bit, mainly my wrists but my fingers are a little stiff too. I'm seeing the OT tomorrow, she's showing me hand exercises, so they may help.
I'm glad you're seeing the OT. I hope they help love. Are you being kind to you whilst you are flaring?
My plan is shower and reading. Maybe even watch something, not decided yet.
Sounds lovely!
My ribs hurt and I have a headache from laughing... J discovered my ticklish spot... He's the only person I've ever laughed like that with!
I can't tell you how much I love that post!!
He's talking about taking me away for a couple of days in the autumn (inlove)
Hooray!
Just heading to see the OT. This should be fun as my hands are stiff this morning
Good, as long as see how bad it is then they can see how bad it is for you and can genuinely show them what is difficult and what would help!
It was worse than this yesterday. I think I'm quite lucky that I've never had a major flare up as I can barely move my wrist at its worst. The fatigue is the worst part of it.
How did it go with the OT?
I have a list of hand exercises to do to strengthen my hands and improve flexibility. She even gave me a tib of medical putty... must remember it's a medical aid and not a toy... She's replaced my splint too, I needed a size smaller.
Have you lost more weight?
I don't know, need to get weighed. It's possible that I just have less swelling in that finger
Sounds positive, I would be the same with the putty have to remember its not a toy lol x
Never knew there was medical putty my experience of putty is linseed oil putty, epoxy putty and silly putty, I've learned something new today :)
What's the medical putty for?
It's for hand strengthening exercises.
Ahhhh, sounds fun ;)
It is!!! It's rather satisfying to play with too (giggle)
See that's what I'd do with it too!
