I finally got over my nasty sinus infection and have restarted my Humira injections and the Methotrexate. It has been over 2 weeks but so far I haven´t felt any relief from my pain. I´ve been spending a lot of time in my bed because the pain in my hips and lower back is just too much to move around much. Sometimes I wake up in pain and can´t get comfortable so I can get back to sleep. Now my sleeping schedule is getting turned around again. I´ve been sleeping till 1 pm or so. We have been having cold weather and snow so that also flares up my pain.
My husband was very sweet and helped me with my closet. I had a small dresser in my closet because my room is too small to have a dresser outside my closet. It wasn´t constructed very well and didn´t have that support in the drawers that keeps them straight when you pull them out. The drawers would get crooked and then stick. I am so weak because of the pain in my joints that I couldn´t get to my clothes or put them away without a lot of frustrations and pain. My husband went to Lowes and bought a closet organizer with drawers that glide with ease. It also has divides on side of my closet in two so I have a long shelf in the middle with a clothes rode above and below. The long shelf at the top got raised so no way can I reach it now but my seasonal clothes can go up there and my husband can get them down for me when needed.
I went through my closet (very, very slowly) and pulled out a bunch of things to donate or toss. Now I have a nice organized closet with a place for everything. It really feels good.
I´ve been reading a lot whenever I was awake in bed. I´m finishing up the books on my Halloween reading list now and then I´ll be ready for my next project. I´m working on Genealogy and I want to learn more about Colonial America. I´m working on my list for that now and have two books on the way.
I haven´t gotten back to my penpals yet but I haven´t forgotten about anyone. I just can´t write very well with the pain in my hands. Typing doesn´t feel so great either so I´ll call this finished.
Take care,
Donna
