#BlogLife1058 - Things you don't realise when someone isn't as healthy as you..

Although the eye drops are doing a good job of lubricating my eyes, I've noticed I'm getting a steady increase of headaches.

Actually today I feel fine now, yesterday it was thumping. As per usual, I wasn't sure what to talk about until I went on 7 Cups and a topic idea sparked interest for me.

I don't comment on the precise diagnostic threads, I'm too private for that but as long as it's not too personal, I might share.

Ugh unfortunately G didn't deliver the groceries and this nitwit, stood there, while I was slowly struggling painfully to unpack the shopping from the crates into my bags....

While he remained watching, eventually, he offered to help, to which I accepted.

But that's what your butt should have offered to do in the first place, not to hurry me along, but to be accommodating!

Anway it was all there, I think, hang on, let me double check. It was only the Pukka pies that were out of stock.

Speaking of which, they have new flavours, a balti chicken and a vindaloo.

I'm not keen on super peppery, but what if it's just got more flavour to it?

Back to the Things series...

1. If it's a mobility issue, then stop racing us, I need to walk slowly, with small steps.

The highlight of going out alone was being able to go at my own pace without the constant guilt trips....

Oh you're walking sooo slowly..... Good job we're not in a hurry..

2. For some reason, sometimes I can't walk in a straight line, so if you're behind me, good luck to you.

My legs kinda jerk or get wobbly and switch paths like I'm drunk, it's just what they do. I'll apologise but it's my body..

3. I don't feel physically capable of going to multiple places, if you want to do that, go ahead, I just won't join you.

I don't want to trek too far, staying local is limited but it's also all I can manage.

I used to wince, exhaust myself and try and forget how much pain I was in, just to accommodate you and your needs.

Those days are long gone! The fact that you're asking me too, shows how self centred and thoughtless you are.

4. Again just because I can do something but it's still very taxing for me, it doesn't mean you should push me into doing it.

I know the ill effects of exerting my body too far, limited functionality, risks of strain etc..

5. Illness doesn't care about your age. People assume you bounce back quicker because you're young but it wasn't like that for me.

My body used to burn and beg me to rest and I still ignored it because people were pressuring me to be active.

Sorry my brain is scattered so decided to eat, veggy spring rolls, good but need a dip.

The Namdong noodle pots were buy 2 get 1 free. I got 2x chicken, decided to risk, a beef.

Holy moly it's delicious. I'm glad I put lots of water. I only microwaved it for 6 minutes and water hadn't evaporated.

But by the time I left it to cool, it did and it's just right, soft, more chow mein style, not thin noodles, which I prefer.

There was a spice packet, which I binned, incase it was too salty or too spicy and ruined it.

But it's just a nice beef flavour, seasonings and herbs and goodness.

I'm only struggling to eat it, as I'm full. Oh the further you get down, there's a tiny bit more saltiness and spice.

When I say goodness, not healthy, just really enjoyable to munch :)
