Guest guest Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Sooooo True! Your mind thinks it old times and bam! I always do that on the weekends I think I can do it and ruin the rest of the weekend. Relearning limits are hard and hard on the ego too.  Smile in IL From: rascalsniche@... <rascalsniche@...> Subject: Re: [ ] stoopid lawnmower Date: Monday, November 8, 2010, 1:15 PM  Hi ...I know...you feel good and do something, the next day..there's heck to pay.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 If you EVER have that impulse again, go straight to bed until it goes away! Besides, it sets a bad precedent for the rest of us.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hi .  I sure do know what you mean. If I did something I really wanted to do, I would be done in by the end of the day, and spend the next 3 days in bed to recover. My Rheumy told me I had to pace myself, and that was very hard for me to learn and do. She also insists I rest each day no matter what. Such is our lives with RA.  I hope you have recovered and feeling much better.  Hugs,  Barbara ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning I got an email from a friend whose son needs a bone marrow transplant and she is asking everyone she knows to register. Even if they don't find a match for her son, they may find matches for other people in need. I went to the registration page, and I can't register because I have RA! Another RA blow, to realize that we aren't considered healthy enough to help others in need in such an easy way. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Sometimes we just have to do things we know we shouldn't just to prove that we still can or at least I do-knowing that I will probably pay later. It feels so good to accomplish some of the things that I once did and thought nothing about doing it then-now it is hard work and it hurts and usually takes 10 times as long.  Hey but at least I'm still alive and trying. linda From: oogiejonz <bajones@...> Subject: [ ] stoopid lawnmower Date: Monday, November 8, 2010, 10:24 AM  I went out yesterday to mow/mulch the ocean of leaves in our backyard and I am totally paying for it today.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Go ! I pay for what I do too. We all do. But I want to live until I am actually dead. The list of things I can do is on a MUCH smaller scale these days. But I still want to accomplish something each day, no matter how insignificant it may seem. It's my way of fighting back. It helps. Gentle hugs to all-- in SC Sometimes we just have to do things we know we shouldn't just to prove that we still can or at least I do-knowing that I will probably pay later.
