My lovely girl drew this image for me of our pain, different for us both but with the same underlying genetic cause, and these words by poet Ariana Dancu seemed to fit perfectly in rising above the flames of pain.
It has been a tricky week as the family visited my husband’s parents, but I was too unwell, sporting a chronic dislocation & increased pain, to make the long car journey. Instead I remained at home where I was able to relax, stay in my PJs and binge watch Netflix, but had to rely on my parents to look after me. Talk about feeling like a teenager again……
Lucy’s picture really depicts how my different pains have been all consuming this week….and yes, I am still sporting a snazzy velcro sling! Hopefully there will be a real post tomorrow!

A very beautiful painting. Do feel better. I can empathize, having been at home many times while the family is out on an excursion, and I am left, shriveled in pain. xoxo #brillblogposts
