PEM & Payback

Yesterday I had a PEM day (Post Exertional Malaise) and spent most of it in bed in crash mode. Today has been a little better and I was able to spend the afternoon in the lounge room on the recliner watching a couple of movies.

I know the PEM is a direct result of doing too much on my extended birthday, but I think I would do it all again! It is often said that there are "no free lunches" with ME and payback is certainly a very real part of it.  

On a brighter side, I thought it might be nice to show you some of the things my Granddaughters and I have been doing while I've been here. Because of my limited ability to get around, the only place we can go if I am feeling well enough is to the pool. Apart from that we occupy our days with crafts and sewing. Cushion making, card making, origami, crocheting, baking, writing poems and home decorating.

Some of the cards we have made.

Cushions for their beds and yes, Shirley is still with me!
