The whole four months while I was waiting to be diagnosed, the days went by so slowly and painfully. I was waiting for it to be September so that I could go to the doctor. Never in my life did I want to go to a doctor so badly. Recalling of what I went through still makes me scared.
I had pain getting up in the morning (mornings are the worst), taking a shower (I so hated taking a shower 'cos I couldn't move my hands), wearing clothes (bought clothes which I din't have to slip over my head), buttons were nightmare..the only thing I did was Ooh Aah Ouch!!!
Ooh Aah Ouches start early morning and it used to continue for the rest of the day. Basic day to day activities like climbing stairs, sitting on a chair, opening doors, switching on/off buttons, opening lids, opening a bottle of water, eating (my jaws used to hurt), lifting my hands, etc.. used to so so very difficult. I used to take 5 mins to climb 3 steps (I used to hate those steps). The one thing that made me angry the most was that I couldn't sleep 'cos of the pain and I love to sleep. The constant pain made it so hard for me to sleep. So my days used to start with pain and end with pain. :(
Now you must be wondering how I managed to do all the things I mentioned ??
All Thanks to my hulk/hunk- husband who used to help with all the day to day activities plus doing all the cooking (under my supervision) and washing up (I hated washing up even before any of this pain started) . Without his support I wouldn't have been able to cope with all the Ooh Aah Ouches !!
Love you from the bottom of my heart (Filmy style)
I read this inspirational quote recently and thought it would be ideal for this post
"Pain is temporary, it may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, it lasts forever" Lance Armstrong
