I feel like I’ve been on an emotional roller costa this weekend… I’ve got a numb left leg which I’ve had now for over a week I can’t walk properly or life my leg up more than a few inches. It was a friends birthday on saturday so the hubby and I went away for the weekend (no children) it should of been a lovely time away but it wasn’t for me… We went shopping one of my favorite past times but it took me an age to get anywhere and felt like everyone was looking and judging me… Silly I know Then we got to the hotel our room was on the first floor and no lift then a long walk to the room, I should of said something but didn’t then when getting ready I couldn’t get into the bath for a shower…this was the last straw! So all in all I feel totally exhausted and emotionally drained… Vent over sorry!
It’s probably not much help right now, but experience really does help in these sorts of circumstances (and means organising a wheelchair or scooter for shopping, phoning ahead and making sure that the hotel room is on the ground floor, etc) - I know it completely sucks at the moment, but while the symptoms might not get easier with time, dealing with it does.
Don’t beat yourself up for it not turning out as you’d hoped. It’s absolutely not your fault.
