Thanksgiving 😖

~ warriorgoodfight7x7

I do not know if I will be attending Thanksgiving Dinner yet….and it is hours away. I know this feeling is shared by some of my fellow Chronic Illness Warriors. Just the thought of getting ready hurts.

I am already at high pain levels. A shower, hair, and makeup seem impossible right now. Everything hurts, even my fingers. Hot lava courses through my veins. Feet-on FIRE, to name a few symptoms. Tylenol will not touch my pain, and I have a NSAID allergy, so I cannot take Advil or Alieve. I do have a Rx, I just don’t know if I feel like using it today. But, why suffer-right?

I will lay in bed a little while longer and see what happens. Despite being Chronically Ill, I am thankful for a lot-two healthy kiddos, medical insurance, a nice roof over my head-to name a few. Let me not forget family and friends, and you guys. To those of you who take the time to read my blog, like it, and comment. I am thankful for the care and understanding I receive from my readers/followers.

We shall see what happens. We’ll see if dinner is pizza or turkey. I’ll let you guys know what happens. Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate!!

  1. Did you go?

    I managed to have a proper shower and hair wash (and facial scrub!) yesterday! I was so pleased it wasn’t enormously too painful / too immobilizing after. I was thinking, remember those times you would do so much more, and doing those tasks was effortless? – however, we must be proud of our little victories, I think.

    Hugs 🙂

    1. Yes, I went. It was no easy feat!! I can remember the days were so much easier. Now–at times I struggle with my shoes, etc. You are right…we must be proud of our little victories. I was so happy to have showered, hair, and applied makeup nicely, lol. –xoxo

      1. Good for you, I’m glad you went 🙂 When we have some money eventually come through, I’m going to have a really nice dinner with my family. There has been too much stress this year, more than any other time, despite the poor health. I’d like to get back into my make up and doing my nails again. (Have you heard of Barry M? They’ve lovely nail colours). Take care xoxo

      3. I used to wear it every day. But now I’m just at home, not even doing the little errands due to having my entire small income cut (this present delightful English gov.). Going out was an incentive to look nice. I still colour my hair (I’m mid-blonde but it’s prematurely silver at the front, at 42!). I was learning fashion design but the tutors were so negligent and rude (with everyone) and due to disabililty discrimination, I had to leave. Now it’s a home study honours degree course in design with the Open University, which is a great British institution! I studied with them years ago and enjoyed it; this time round they’re VERY supportive of my needs, a stark opposite to my useless local college. I think it’s great you’re aspiring to be a makeup artist 🙂 . Make up has come a long way in just a decade, so many new cosmetics, ie. primer. I see there’s lots of youtube videos on it. Take care xo Steff

      4. I understand. For me, wearing makeup gives me the incentive to go out 🙂 I did my friend’s makeup yesterday and am pretty proud of myself. And I know…primer, finishing sprays, beauty blenders and pigment drops for foundation. Who’da thought?!?!!
