Well, I was in a foul mood anyway so I thought I have nothing to lose by watching a Wilkes video for the first time in months. I’m so glad I did, that fridge made me cry laughing
Wtf does that look like! I would be so so mortified to show people I lived like she does. The house is a complete and utter tip! Also is it not sort of partially blocking a potential fire exit? Those patio doors are her back door? I can be paranoid but her whole home would be a nightmare in the event of a fire. God forbid and I hope it never happens, but there’s just so much stuff sat everywhere.
I’ve read the past few pages, and to be completely fair to her with fibro I power through it too, to a certain extent. I was diagnosed 8 years ago. I seem to have found a cocktail of meds that do help and I push through pain every day.
It’s not always easy but I’ve learnt to manage my pain and have a daily routine. It’s when something comes up, whether that’s a stressful situation or something physical I have to do that it knocks me for six. I have maybe 2 days a month where I can barely walk to the bathroom.
Tennis would be 100% out of the question for me. My shoulders are generally my biggest pain trigger points. Even on a good day lifting the racket up would be agony for me. The dog walk I could possibly manage (but maybe not as it’s uneven ground to walk on - my left knee locks when I’m walking on uneven ground) but if I did I would pay for it big-time for the next 3/4 days.
I can’t say she doesn’t have fibro/anxiety/depression/ptsd as I’m not in her body. But as someone who has suffered with those things for years, I can’t relate to Wilkes. She’s a walking miracle with all she manages to do with those conditions.
Ellie didn’t appreciate those cards at all, and why would she! My youngest 2 are 4 months older than Ellie and they would find it weird getting cards from people they don’t know. Maybe my kids are ungrateful too but cards aren’t that meaningful to kids that age.
A gold star to anyone that’s made it to the end of this essay!
