The seasonal recovery area!

Tue, 09/01/2007 - 12:12am — Abbey

I'm guessing the lack of action on here is due to some fairly intense family gatherings *lol*

I'm still working at half-pace trying to recover. Amazing how a handful of days can be so exhausting!

Anyone have any amazing tales to tell or photos to share?

The seasonal recovery area!

I've been meaning to post.....

Not really much to tell about the family gatherings, except for the fact that I really didn't sleep well on the air and foam mattresses....
But I did manage to start the CFS education in my cousin (who's 17, in year 12 at school, and wants some info for her SRC for awareness week!!) I also slightly educated my cousin's father's partner about CFS.
And there was a really funny moment between my dad and my cousin's dad (who are brothers) who haven't really spoken to each other in a few years. My dad was leaving my gran's place, and my uncle was coming in, so they had to acknowledge each other, they shook hands and my uncle said Merry Christmas, but my dad just kind of grunted. My cousin and I were cracking up at that!!!
I do have a couple of photos of my cousin and I, but I don't like how I look in them!!

Anyway, still recovering, hating the heat, and trying not to take too many painkillers!!!

The seasonal recovery area!

Crash and Burn. :cry:

For Christmas I got the flu. It wasn't fair! I rarely get the flu, so why did I get it Christmas eve? I suppose I was just very run down from working too hard and doing battle with the crowds of christmas shoppers. (I left things till the last minute, silly me.)

I spent Christmas day with the family and we had a picnic lunch by the beach. I felt so sick but every time I lay down on the ground for a sleep the ants tried to carry me away! It was hot that day and I had a fever, summer headcolds are the worst.

Boxing day I dont remember. I was bed ridden.

I think I recovered just enough to turn up to work on New Years eve, came home from work that arvo and went straight to bed, set the alarm clock for 11.55 so I could get up and watch the New Years fireworks on telly, then back to bed for a few more hours sleep before waking up early to go to work New Years day.

Even today I still feel extremely lethargic and achey. I think it was all too much for me.

I do enjoy Christmas and spending time with family, but it sucks being sick. At least I didnt have to explain to everyone about being tired because of CFS. They could see I had the flu.
