It has been a bust few weeks. I've have finally getting enough work to have monies again. Of course, that meant last week I was getting to many hours. Now my knee is a little crippled as a result of over working the connective tissue in and around the knee joint. I'm having trouble getting up and down from a seated position and Forget trying to get up from my mattress on the floor - once I finally manage it I'm staying up. Thankfully, the knee isn't to bad to walk on.
Despite this I've been having to continue work this week, because as it's not landing me hospital or a wheelchair, I have to keep working for monies. This sentiment has continued on my days off. On my days off of work, I take advantage of the time at home and do my chores. Yesterday I was flitting between home and the laundrette to get my double duvet clean and partially dry while trying to wash clothes in my twin tub at home and get my room vacuumed. This was barely a dent in my chores list unfortunately as when i was having long days at work last week, things just kept building up. I still have a lot to do, and as with anything that requires cleaning , by the time I've finished one lot of chores other chores need to be done again.
Got to love working for a living. I have what is diagnosed at Chronic Widespread Pain Syndrome (A Diagnosis I've never sure I trust as accurate and fully believe it may change in the future). Every extra hour I spend cleaning at work or in the home has an impact on my physical pain levels. Even trying to take it easy doesn't help because any form of movement whether it's walking or just sitting at a desk (this still require muscle movement as they fight to keep you in an upright position) will have an effect on the levels of pain felt. The irony is, I've tried the other alternative of doing as little as possible and it doesn't work either - you still find pain crops up, so I just get on with it when I can. :)
