Payback

After two days of sheer exhaustion and a travel day which was exhausting, my body started to act out. Pain that had been dormant for several weeks decided to rear its ugly head. I should not have been surprised. Rest is a big help when this happens. Somehow I often can't wrap my mind around the fact that it is okay to relax and rest.  I was at the point last night when everything hurt and I felt like a baby who was so overtired she couldn't let go and sleep.  I am grateful for meds that actually work and grateful even more when I get my mind to agree that its all right to take them!
This morning I feel like I got a decent night's sleep and should function better today.
Acceptance of my body's limitations is very difficult.
