I've Made Friday Week 177

Good Morning everyone!

I hope your week is going well.

I hope you are looking forward to the weekend.

I hope everyone in the USA had a fantastic Thanks Giving!

I have a bit of a confession today.

I had a bit of a self pity party.

I have them every so often

and this was due to a new condition.

If you don't want to read my waffle

just skip it to my pictures :-)

I had an MRI on Saturday and it aggravated my

neck and spine even more than normal.

I took my painkillers on Saturday, Sunday & Monday.

Unfortunately on Monday I had to go to my

Uncle's funeral.

My body wasn't happy about the stress

or on the being on my feet or sat down

in a cold room.

It was a good send off for my uncle

and lots of people attended.

It was nice seeing all my family even

though I didn't really feel myself.

Anyway by that evening the pain

had got so bad that it was making me feel sick.

I rested the next day but I had to come

to the realization that the problem

with the damaged root nerves in my spine

are a lot worse than I was willing to admit.

I had a good sit down with myself

and looked at what has been happening over

the last few months.

I have been fobbing off my symptoms with it's

just my peripheral neuropathy.

I am losing the sensation in my hands.

Everytime I touch something, including my clothes,

I have a burning pain.

The way I can describe it is when you get pins

and needles and you get that awful pain

not long before they are going, that's it.

After having a good talk with myself

I'm back on form.

I have to be very careful that I don't flare

my neck up more.

I ended up at the dr's and when she touched

the swollen part I nearly hit the roof.

It is probable that the nerve is damaged

so I'll not get back to where I was

but I'm already thinking of ways to cope

with it.

It's not going to stop me crafting.

I think I would go loopy if I didn't.

Anyway lets get onto a happier note.

I wasn't sure what I had shown you last

week so I did a couple of group shots.

I'm still making Christmas Decorations

as my mum has put in orders for some she wants.

Now it's time for linky love.
