Yeah, you'd think I'd learn by now. But I had a choice of staying in or going out with my friend. And I didn't want to stay in. Which also goes back to how up and down this disease can be.
Wednesday, I was so sick with pain and all the other symptoms, that I was feeling suicidal from it. Today, after alot of sleep, I wasn't nearly as bad, but still in alot of Lyme arthritis pain. So I went with my friend.
First we went to Walmart. And they have the food section laid out so badly, I couldn't even find a fraction of what I was looking for. So, I only did a quarter of my shopping. I did start to feel sick in there after alittle while. And my friend, who has this disease alot more mildly was feeling it, too. Like she couldn't wait to get out of there.
Then we went to McDonalds, where that particular one was so filthy, I don't even know how we ate in there. My friend actually cleaned the table off with hand gel before we could even sit at it, cause it was that bad. Like I hope I don't die from eating there.
When we got back, I still wasn't flared up badly yet. Just the stiffness and pain. But now that the night has gone on, massive flare up. I'm dying. So now it will take days to recover from this day out.
I will say this, though, just being out in the sun did feel good because I so rarely ever get to go out anymore. I really miss that, the sun and being around trees. They had alot of pine trees and flowers that might have been lavender around outside Walmart. And there was a cherry or berry tree outside the McDonalds. Being around nature, that's what I miss the most.
So many people just take it for granted that they can go outside and be in the fresh air or be in the sunlight. But when you can't for very long periods of time, it makes you really appreciate it. I miss normal things like that.
