Well clearly this is a ranting pity party I've thrown for myself however, no one has shown up. Imagine my not surprise. Am all set up for my w(h)ining with numerous types of cheese and crackers available for guests to listen to me all evening but not the first guest has arrived. I would be hurt but having been diagnosised in 2000 I believe I've already expressed my discontent at not being able to do the same things as I once could to all even the random stranger on the street, gas station or Kroger checkout line. It's old, old, old !!!! The inabilitiy to not be able to do what I once could. Has nothing to do with me being "vintage"(note: I refuse to be old, senior or disabled).
I have dh that is fabulous and truly understands and tells me not to worry he KNOWS I'm doing the best I can. Which makes me promptly want to slap him across the face as THAT IS NOT what I want to hear. I want a solution to be able to function like I did 30 years ago before MS, 5 back surgeries, both knee replacements blah blah blah blah blah!!!
I have finally at 72 accepted I can't do what I once did like clean the enitire house 2200+ sq. ft. in a day. I must say this has been huge and I truly don't like it but guessing no one at this age likes this either.
My irksome issue it this: I accept due to mostly back pain issues I can only stand for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time before I have to sit or lay down. Just had 3 nerves burnt in back and use rx and tens unit. However, this sends me to a place I am not enjoying vacationing at Supreme IRKDOME!!!!!! because it may take 2 or even 3 days if spring cleaning which I'm trying now to get all done in just one bathroom. Note: due to issues I sweep then lay in floor on side ( due to knees and back issues) to be able to wash baseboards.
Well no one showed so I'm going backdown stairs and sit in the chair to shampoo a small area of carpet cause standing is entirely too painful. But the invention of the chair is a huge help but still can't do entire room drats.
Help out there anyone????
