The sadness of ruined plans

Anger, bitterness, frustration, sadness....the emotional storm that becomes the effect of carefully prepared but ruined plans. When a whole well planned weekend get destroyed because of a pinched nerve. But that's spoonie life for you....

My ischias nerve has a tendency to get pinched due to my spinal stenosis, but it often happens in conjunction with an infection as well and I've just recovered from a severe cold.

If you ever had this problem you know the pain that comes with it and where it's concentrated: your butt and the backside of your thighs. It's difficult just to be seated or lay down, and you can hardly walk.

This was what happened the very first day of Easter holiday....

So I spent the holiday seated on a chair by the window with a cushion under my butt, watching the lovely weather outside. Brilliant sunshine from a blue sky, the snow glistening like a million diamonds had been scattered all over it, birds are chirping and squirrels are leaping up and down the trees....

Oh well, what's a warm, sunny and gorgeous April day against a handful of painkillers and a soft pillow attached to your ass.....

Have a lovely weekend everyone....
