Isn't it funny, I do the same thing...try to act normally and pretend things don't hurt when sometimes I feel like I will fall over. For example... we will have company for an afternoon...as soon as they leave I crumple onto the sofa with a heating pad. My husband will say, gosh, this is sudden, you aren't feeling good? And I tell him I've been hurting all day but held it in.
Why do we do that, is it pride? Or is it that we think "normal" people wouldn't want to be around us if they knew how our bodies really felt?
Have some carrots for me too, those plug me up and I love them but can't eat them any more. How about I drink some more prune juice <VBG>. Hope you are having a super, pain-free day!!!!
Love,
