Surviving a chaotic week

Hi everyone, a week ago I posted about my upcoming week with jury duty, work and the 3 doctor appointments I had to get through, two of which were to meet new doctors and one where because of an eye procedure I wouldn't be able to see that day. Well, I survived it, yay! Each day I was on pins and needles waiting to find out if I had to go into court and how I was going to juggle my schedule if I did. Thankfully, my juror number was high enough it was never called. The anxiety I carried all week wiped me out and by yesterday, I felt pretty exhausted. Who knows how I got myself into a week like that but I'll tell you I'm looking forward to a very boring week ahead! I hope everyone has a great week!

Explaining pain?

Does anybody else have trouble explaining pain to Drs & others? I sometimes find it hard to put my pain into words. Doctors seem to have a select number of categories for pain. Burning, stabbing, pounding,pins & needles, shooting, sharp, dull, ache. Sometimes none of these apply and sometimes all of them apply. I've found people as well as Drs are dismissive if you can't fit your pain in one of their boxes. #Gastroparesis , #ChronicMigraineSyndrome #DiabeticNeuropathy , #occipital neuralgia, #Fibromyalgia ,#PrinzmetalsAngina , #costrochondritis , #hiatlhernia , #AcidReflux ,

I’ve begun to slowly start custom framing again & just completed this for a client today. I’ve asked for permission to share her needlework, because it’s a bit funny & a little appt! I’m sooo happy to have been able to complete this job without a flare, thank god!🙏🏻🙏🏻💜🎄✨
