Tagged by the lovely @lifechallaccept for a #stopdropandselfie which I'm probably cheating a bit on since my #crossstitch "accidentally" covered part of my face!!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I may be confusing this a bit with the what I'm doing now... not sure.... But, I'm recovering from yesterday's #nerveblock and cross stitching block five of my #cloudsfactory #halloweensampler #crafts

Pics a little blurry because my mom's phone can take pics but not send, so I took a pic of it. Out and in recovery. I did well!! The Dr said it could take 3-5 days for it to take effect and I go back to him in two weeks. #spoonie #RSD #CRPS #nerveblock

Tagged by @onespoonatatime for a #stopdropjamapic I just came back from two Drs appointments and have popped a frozen #glutenfree dinner in the oven and plopped myself onto the sofa to see how far behind I am on IG!! I tag @mobiletoybox @fabulouschronically @frkgraham and @rainbow_girl_x (I thought I'd give @reevebetweenthelines a break, but feel free to play if you want!) By the way, I'm in 3/4 leggings since I was at the Dr and not pajamas but I'm probably going to be lazy and sleep in these so that will make this count!! 😘

So, as part of my #operationfeelgood mission, sparked by my #spoonie daughter @dinkyspoon85 and the amazing YouTube personality @sugarpuffandfluff , I ordered from @sephora online. I couldn't find the wheat eyeshadow that Nisha spoke of so I bought #bobbibrown in banana. I also bought a silver waterproof liner for my lower waterline to brighten my eyes and last but not least #katvond liquid liner in trooper!! Since I qualified for free shipping & a freebie, I chose @anastasiabeverlyhills brow powder duo in dark brown. I hope this helps to inspire some of you!! I've been getting up a half hour earlier to shower and fix my hair and put on makeup. I really do feel better about myself!!! So the next question (and I've done this before so it's not a surprise to my family ) is since I had cut my hair short and it hadn't been colored while I was in rehab, I can now see how much gray I really have. My husband brought up the idea of me going blonde again to mix the highlights with the grays. I think it would be fun! Unfortunately I don't have a pic on this phone to show you, but I'll dig one up. #makeup #beauty #feelinggood @raso21 opinion my blonde cuz??

Answered all of our questions, and trust me, my dad grilled him!! He changed my pain meds and in two weeks I'm having a sympathetic nerve block. Then we'll go from there as to getting me into PT. Fingers crossed!!! #spoonie #pots #RSD #CRPS #fibromyalgia

Tagged by @frejisan for #widn and #5thingsimthankfulfor I'm currently being kissed by Zoey as I snuck a peek at IG while reading about #RSD I am thankful for: 1. My husband @asahsci . Without him, I'd never be able to get through being unable to walk and all the pain I'm in which causes sleepless nights and grumpy moods. 2. My parents who love and support me and take me to all of my appointments so Bryan doesn't have to take off work. 3. My children, Jarett & @matthoelzle , who have for the most part, been understanding and try to help out. I especially love my lunch and TV time with Matt!!! 😘 4. My dogs, Nurse Zoey who watches over me and never leaves my side and Bandit who reminds me to keep petting him and makes me throw the ball so I never get bored all day! πŸ˜‰ 5. All of my IG friends and #spooniesisters . Without you guys to vent to, reflect with and joke with, I'd absolutely lose my mind!!!

I'm entering the #positivepenpalsprojectgiveaway from @positivepenpalsproject @beingbex_ Two spoonies who I think would also enjoy this are @keepshiningkeepsmiling and @reevebetweenthelines I joined the #positivepenpalsproject because I really enjoy talking to and meeting new people. I've made so many friends on IG that understand what I'm going through and support me. Additionally, I'm able to support them! I've already received a letter which just brightened my day and am 3/4 finished a handmade gift that I'm sending to another spoonie who is part of the pe pal project as well!!

Beautiful day!! @asahsci took me onto the deck to enjoy some sunshine. I had a rough night and morning. I thought I could take one pain pill instead of two at bedtime and I paid for it. Lesson learned- even though the pain is at a tolerable level, don't back down on your meds. Worst part is I only have myself to blame!! πŸ˜‚ Some fresh air and sun did distract me for a bit though!! ☀️#spoonie #RSD #CRPS #pots #fibromyalgia

So excited about this giveaway!! Two positive things have come out of my getting sick are, not just finding out who my true friends are, but the deep feelings of closeness, love and trust that have developed because of them being there for me. The other positive is finding new spoonie friends through Instagram that I may have never met previously. The closeness that I've developed with @reevebetweenthelines has been incredible and even though we haven't met in person, I know we will one day because we're both determined to make it happen!! The other spoonie that has touched me profoundly lives halfway around the world but has brought out so much maternal instincts that I wish I could wrap my arms around her to protect her. @dinkyspoon85 has become my virtual daughter which is fun for me since I have two sons and no daughters to talk about hair and makeup!! Thank you @rainbow_girl_x for doing this!! I will need to put the hashtag as a comment because brain fog has set in and I'm not sure what it was!!!!

I'm having a very rough morning pain wise in my left foot. My husband always tries to help me feel better by distracting me or joking around. I was looking at Zoey, who really seems to stay with me and watch me, so I told my husband, @asahsci , that Zoey really loves me. He said,"She loves you like a cow. There is no utter." Needless to say I cracked up!!!! #spoonie #husband #love #bostonterrier

Since I'm unable to walk, I go up and down the stairs on my butt using my arms. Zoey has been becoming more and more protective of me. She goes ahead of me about two steps at a time and watches me. When I reach her, she goes up a couple more until I reach the top, hoist myself onto the chair and use my upstairs walker to get to my room. I love how she's taken on this role of "mothering" me. Now that I'm home, she also stays by my side wherever I go. #bostonterrier #bostonterrierpics #bostonterrierlover #petsofinstagram #bestfriend #love #spoonie
