Sick day
For the first time in a while, I've been floored by pain. This is actually good news, because it's the longest I've gone between flare ups since I developed trigeminal neuralgia a couple of years ago.
Seven weeks doesn't seem like much time to go pain free but for me it's been liberating. All that time that you spend managing pain can go on other things like friendships and crafting.
One of the hardest things about a pain flare up is the sudden reduction in ability. I got used to being more able to do what I wanted the last few weeks. Now I suddenly have to adapt to what my body will allow me day by day again.
So it'll be a sick day for me today. I'll see if my hands work well enough to knit, read an old school computing book, and take care of my pooch. Oh yeah, I better eat food and drink water too.
