good week
This week I planned to be in office three days. I approached this with some trepidation because I have to climb up and down 6 flights of stairs, so I wasn't too sure.
Then I find out I have a training session booked for the other 2 days so for the first time in many many moons I worked a full 5 day week.
I crashed early on Monday but managed to make it through the work day. I haven't crashed at all between Tuesday and today. WHOO HOO! I am in pain now and have experienced a lot of pain toward the end of each day, but I have been alert and ticking mentally for the most part. JUMP UP-JUMP UP!!
It does bring back an old question, do we become self limiting because we are so used to crashing that even when we have capacity we hold ourselves back out of fear?
Anyhoo, a good week is a good week. Celebrating.
Passing on the good vibes to my DS friends, feel it flood your system....

Wow, when I started reading your post about having to work three days, my heart sank & I thought \"Oh no!\" Then after reading that you did okay I am so relieved & 5 days. Good job. I love those times when I seem to be able to be almost normal & I don\'t crash. I do think we are somewhat self limiting because we have no way of knowing how our bodies will react. Will this be a good week or will I crash & be down for days or weeks. It scares me sometimes, I mowed half of the yard a week ago & I am still paying for it, just now coming out of the crash. Never know if the price I will pay is worth it. I am happy for you that you had a good week & got to feel good about what you were able to do. Hugs, Denise
YAYYYYYYYYYYY! Good week! That\'s a WONDERFUL thing when it happens. I\'m in awe of people who can work!! I wish I could still do that, but body shuts down too quickly with exertion. One flight of stairs and they\'d have to call an ambulance for me! LOL..(no, seriously!). I\'m just so happy for you that you can feel good about your accomplishments, Max...because I know that working is no easy feat for those of us with this illness.
You go girl!! Big hugs!
so glad that you\'re having a good week........and thanks so much for sharing your JOY..........joy spreads in the happiest way......it\'s so expansive and life affirming...........i\'ll be thinking of you and hope that all goes really well for you!!!!!! hugs!
Wow max 6 flights of stairs and a full work week, that\'s amazing.Did you sneak in some strong steroids LOL !! I\'m afraid I\'m like Darla, one flight of stairs and I\'m on the floor or taking a long rest before I can move again.Just no strength, such a bummer.You must be so happy to have that much energy, good for you.
