Over The Weekend #40

I didn't know if I should do an over the weekend post this weekend

as it wasn't very busy or fun, in fact I spent all today in bed with chronic pain

Yesterday wasn't too bad and we went swimming and then to the in-laws

for lunch. Today my chronic illness hit me once again like a ton of bricks and I couldn't get out of bed without pain. 

TMI Warning 

but because of my PCOS, Endometriosis and cysts on my ovaries

my chronic pain seems to flare up badly around supposed ovulation.

I have huge fertility issues so I don't actually ovulate, treatment and meds that worked

when trying to conceive Oisìn haven't worked and things seems to be getting worse

instead of better. Thankfully I have a few hospital appointments with surgeons and specialists 

at the start of August to hopefully get this chronic pain sorted once and for all.

Just so thankfully for my parents and hubby this weekend

who helped me so much

My parents, hubby and Oisìn went off

to the park earlier. They had a fun time while I slept and rested.

One thing I have learned with chronic pain & fatigue

is to not fight it. Sleep and rest are sometimes the only things you can do!

Today was definitely a bad day so I stopped fighting it

and spent the day resting and reading.

I let myself get lost in this brilliant book

my seventh read of July 

So far I am loving this beautiful WW11 lovestory.

So that was my weekend hopefully chronic pain will not be bad next week

as we have a big family wedding!!

Hope your weekend was fun and pain free!
