I managed to have a productive and relatively low pain day today. I spent much of it working on Christmas presents for friends and family. The hardest part about what I've been working on is having to spend extensive time sitting on the floor. Still, if I take some what frequent breaks and make sure I'm sitting on a folded blanket instead of directly on the tile, it's not too bad. Just know that if you get a handmade gift from me for Christmas this year, it was definitely made with love!
Pain levels have definitely kicked up a notch tonight, especially in my hands and wrists. That might be a clue that I pushed them too hard. Still, I had enough sense to call it quits with what I was working on when my hands started complaining with every movement.
Took my second dose of Cymbalta tonight. So far, I haven't experienced any side effects at all, knock on wood. And maybe it's the placebo effect but I swear I can tell an effect on my mood already. I definitely feel more level and less overly emotional.
That wraps up today's post. Keeping it short and sweet. Fingers crossed that tomorrow is another good day. I have tons more left to do making those presents and now to get to add another very special one for the new 4-year-old our dear friends welcomed into their family this morning.
