2nd April Update

Trying to juggle fibromyalgia and helping my Dad who's not well is really getting to me. It's all falling on me to help keep the house tidy, keep the kitchen clean, and try to push the house forward to get sorted and moved along.

Sometimes I just want to go to my sister's and shout at her entire family (I know that will cause more issues than it will solve), I'm not well and having to do it all is really annoying. 

I have some wonderful friends who have been a massive help along the way, such as Neil, who helped me clean when Dad was in the hospital and after he got out for a vit. And then there's Carl, who was a star and a massive help as he got the kitchen cupboards on the wall. 

I also have friends who listen to my outpourings. Thank you to those, Neil and Carl.... big time. 

I try to push on through the Fibro and pain, but am very aware of my limits and know I do push through them, then wonder why I am rendered useless the next day. I get very frustrated when I can't do what I want to do to help my Dad, in fact that is the general rule in my entire life. I'm so fed up of having to watch what I can do. 

I do need to take some me time, but know this won't be possible for a while.

I'm going away for a week in May, setting off late on the 5th May and returning at some point on the 11th May.

My friend Bill is planning a trip to Llanelli to see my Dad and give him a hand, which will be a huge help, be good to have another opinion on how Dad is doing.
