When your heels hurt everything seems daunting. I spent much of yesterday curled up on the couch alternating between watching television and sleeping. The Celebrex mostly settled the worst of the aches and pains but my heels, knees and hips were still very achy. The idea of standing in the kitchen to even make a sandwich was repugnant. Coupled with the fact something was causing crazy heartburn, I was a little miserable yesterday.
Monday night we did go out for supper with Ian and June, in spite of the aches and pains. I felt I just had to get out. They showed up at the restaurant with a new book for me to read -- thank you. The company was enjoyable, but the meal was only so/so. Although we've eaten at this place before neither the service nor the food quality was up to past experience.
The joint pain returned with a vengeance in the middle of the night and I finally got up and went to the couch so as not to disturb Rob too much. After watching TV for an hour or so I drifted into a fitful sleep. Needless to say, I will take the Celebrex next time, before the joint inflammation even has a chance to start. I'm just counting the minutes now until I can take today's dose.
I'm not sure what is causing the heartburn, one of the medications no doubt, but it alternately feels like someone is trying to twist a hot iron through my chest or a large bubble is pressing against my esophagus. I should probably be taking the Losec, but I didn't find it offered much relief before and I'm not sure how it works with the Celebrex.
Not much on tap for today. I may make my way down to the mailbox and I need to plant to some seeds I set to soak a couple days ago. The house could use a vacuuming, but that's low on my priority list right now.
The title of this post reminds me of that kid's song..."Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes..." Hope thinking of the song helps you feel better! We're thinking of you!
