I know we all live with pain and limitations. As you progress through your symptoms you learn what triggers your pain and what limitations you have. We try to be as pain free as possible, but sometimes...Sometimes you have to say the @#$% with it and live your life. This weekend I took my wife out for crab legs at one of the local casinos. Hello lights and sounds that trigger migraines. And then we played alittle while in the casino. Spent Sat and Sunday trying to put a small garden in the yard because my youngest wants to grow veggies. Past out both days feel like total crap hurt horribly and I know that tomorrow will be a bad day as an aftershock. Was it worth it ? Of course it was ! Live full die empty. Life goes on no matter if you hurt or feel bad and you cant sit on the sidelines the whole time. Be careful but enjoy your loved ones.
I agree, I am glad you got out and enjoyed yourself, even if we do pay for it later!
I know my surgery will be scheduled soon and since I am divorced I have my boys every other weekend. not knowing how soon my surgery will be and if I will have another weekend with them beforehand, or free time. I wanted to make sure this weekend was fun for them and all about them. They don't know I will be having surgery soon.
So Saturday evening I took my 2 boys AND their 2 friends to Chuck E Cheese's to play video games... 3 hours there, loud people, loud music, kids screaming, but my kids had a blast. Then we had their friends sleep over!
And on Sunday, we took all 4 boys roller skating! Now I used to skate ALL the time as a kid and have taken my boys a few times.. I was going to skate because I figured I would regret it today.. but when my youngest asked me to skate with him. well how could I say no? Not knowing if I would be able to put on a pair of skates for a few months I laced them up and went skating! We were there for 2 hours. Granted I didn't skate the whole time, but I skated with my son, and I skated backwards holding his hands. He was so impressed and his face was glowing!
Am I a regretting it today? Well I am sore to say the least, but it was fun, and it was great to have fun with all of us together doing something besides our regular movie night! I can only hope that in the coming weekends when mommy isn't as fun for awhile they will remember how much fun we had this weekend and how much fun we will have again when I am better!
