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!

Over The Weekend #37

This weekend there isn't many pictures as I spent most of it

asleep in bed! Chronic pain mixed with flu symptoms had me exhausted and sleeping for most of the weekend!

Saturday we did manage to get to the library and park with Oisìn

we spent sometime reading, then went for coffee and then to the park.

Oisìn again this weekend is pushing boundaries and testing our patience to see what
he can and can't get away with!
He spent a good bit of time on the naughty chair again this weekend!

It has been hard as I have been laid up in bed, in alot of pain, trying to be semi-normal
to be honest Paul has took alot of the parenting duties this week and weekend
He has been fantastic looking after my chronic pain needs, been great around the house doing chores and cooking meals, while also doing all the Daddy duties.
He also brought Oisìn swimming Saturday when he knew I really need peace and pain relief!
I spent Saturday night reading and Paul also fancied an early night
he isn't much of a big reader so I was shocked when he picked this mammoth book in the library!

His and hers reading material!
So today I have mostly spent in bed, I am feeling sore but not as bad as the pass
couple of days thankfully!

Oisìn came into our bed for a little earlier and it was
so sweet to have a little nap with him.
I have spent most of today reading sleeping and watching
booktube which is my new favourite thing!

We have just finished a lovely Sunday roast that Paul cooked
I am going to have a long soak in a bubble bath and an early night
Hoping that next weekend will be better and I will finally get some relief from chronic illness.
