Weird? Pretty much.
Dina:
Oh Arjan, I am glad you are not seriously ill but I hope you three get completely well very soon.
The booster actually gave me a headache that was not too strong but persisted until I took paracetamol, and then after a while it went back and I had to took another pill. Besides, the spot in my arm where I received the booster produced a pink eczema and even when it is not swollen anymore it still looks red. It is not a small dot, it is a "circle" quite large.
Regenbogen:
Arjan, I hope you and your family are going to be well soon.
Dina, that's great news about your hubby. All the best health wishes to him.
News about myself: the pain in my feet is worse again. If I want to walk and do some work I have to take painkillers. Sometimes it is better. I hope soon. But it is never gone since about 10 years. Usually I the pain and I get along OK, as I have learned to accept that it belongs to me, but these days I am fighting a depression on top of it. It's been there for weeks but I only recognised it a few days ago.
Tomorrow I will create and play some music, this always helps me in such phases.
Dina:
Oh Regen, I am sorry to hear that. What is the problem with your feet (if you want to share, of course). Whatever the case, I hope you feel better soon.
You are very brave talking about your mental health and your ways to cope. For the little I know about you, you love music, so I understand how that helps.
Let see, I am going to put a few things here to distract yourself.
1) Do you know I do RPG? I think I mentioned it before, but just in case, I have been doing that for decades. Here are two iron dice we have. Aren't they great?
I love RPG dice. Between hubby and I we have many. The weirdest probably are ones a friend bought for us in Germany. I do not have pictures of my own but they are something like this:
Finally, just because I miss being there, here you have a picture of the Agua Azul cascade in Mexico, near Palenque. I've been there once in a tour, in 2012. The picture is mine. The place is beautiful.
Regenbogen:
Oh, Dina, the place is beautiful indeed! Thank you for the picture. I love those places that can make you feel small and I can imagine this is such a place.
The dice are pretty cool. I don't play but I like dice.
As to my health: there is no final diagnosis yet, and I don't want to spend my time at the doctors' any more. I know it is not rheumatism and it is not multiple sclerosis. I won't die because of it and that's what is important for me, so I decided I don't need a name. As long as I find ways to live with it, because it won't go away, but getting worse with the years. It's a kind of inflammation of muscles and tendons, sometimes joints. In the feet it is worse because you use them the most. Usually I can manage the stiffness of the tendons, if I give my feet a massage before getting up when I have been sleeping or sitting somewhere for more than 10 minutes. But the most pain in my left foot comes from the heel spur, that I have noticed a few years ago, which rubs the tendon down there and causes it to become inflamed. The last one can get better, when I loose weight, so I'm doing this, but in the last months I have gained weight instead, because I was stressed at work and like many overweight people I compensate by eating more when being stressed or sad or depressed...
So for me I can convince myself better to start a diet, because I know it will make me walk with less pain.
So nothing serious, I know how to live with it, there are worse diseases.
That's why I once wrote, I go walking fast, not running or jogging, because I'm literally not able to do that. OK, I could, but it would mean, that I would have to spend the next two days in bed, lol.
Edit: and there was that car accident that hit my leg, but I feel that only when I'm doing a lot of sports, which I don't any more because of the rest.
Dina:
I totally get it and I will refrain to give advice or something. I am really fat and hubby much more, so I totally understand the problem of gaining weight when stressed, for instance.
The good thing I will say is that for what you told us I imagine you have beautiful places around, and that is very important. You can enjoy the view while your walk! That is great, and you can even do the walk listening to the music if you want to. I know it is probably too cold right now, but it will be better soon.
Meanwhile, take care of yourself any way you can and enjoy warm tea and other beverages :)
