I only had 2 things I had to do today and I did them! One was to make and take a salad to church and the other was to caulk the tub. My husband has 2 knee replacements and limited range of motion. I have fibro and my back is a train wreck. I took a small stool put it in the tub, sat down and did a great job. My body was twisted every which way. I hurt. I took 2 Tylenol which usually doesn't work and laid down for an hour and I was ready to make dinner.
Some days ALL I have to do is make dinner and I can't even do that. I really feel awful when I can't do ONE thing like make dinner.
I feel like I accomplished something. It's a great feeling.
Thought I'd share a rare good day.

This is wonderful to hear! We love good news. Maybe all the movement helped you. Whatever it was, let's hope tomorrow is a good day for you too. Thanks for sharing.

Indeed that was a good day! I am proud you were able to caulk the tub and do a great job at it. I have never been able to do that in any fashion of neatness. I always have crooked lines and smears and smudges. LOL They are going to take my MAN CARD away soon, I just know they are LOL. Barb I hope you have lots lots more of good days heading your way.

My wife has Fibro so I know how taxing it can be on the body. We also have two children so for her to get all the things done that she does is truly a miracle. Great job on all that you've accomplished. Glad you were able to get so much done and hope that you are 100% soon. You're awesome!

WOW! That's quite an accomplishment! Even with the pain that followed, you have to be proud of yourself!

Hi Barb:

I sure know what you mean. It for sure is pleasing when we accomplish something. I, too, cannot caulk neatly, glad to hear you can.

I am always looking at things that need to be done and my brain thinks I can do anything still. My body doesn't let me. I asked a Physical Therapist if I would ever be able to do housework. She said, yes, with a lot of rest. So, that's what I do.

Glad you were able to accomplish that tricky job.
Before I started getting sick I caulked all the window panes on our house at the time. I can't imagine doing that now.
