Keeping Organised - Free Calendar

So one of the things that has changed recently is that I am able to keep records easier of my day which helps to look back on. This probably seems an easy task for some but when suffering with a chronic illness things like this are the last thing you can do on a bad day and when you have a good day you just want to roll with it. Simple tasks like colouring my days on a calendar were just not possible before due to depression, pain and fatigue but now I colour each day in with either black for bad, green for o.k and orange for good and it is nice to see how my weeks are going. I still have a lot of green days but not so many black as I have had in the past and it is lovely to colour in orange as I remember a time there was no orange in my life :D

I still get bad days when I am unable to do this and times that just fly by and I forget but for the most I can hazard a pretty good guess how it went or I do actually remember. It is a good step in the healing direction.

I suffer from a lot more pain in my life at the moment. I think this is because I am much more active now but luckily I am able to have six sessions of physio from the Doctors and they are helping me with my posture and core muscles and I am really enjoying learning as I think I am ready. Before when I was given appointments to go to I wasn't ready for them and letting people down and also breaking down in front of people was very stressful for me and would just bring on my symptoms stronger and make me worse. I think it is very important for both your mind and body to be ready to get better from this nasty illness. Before I had way too much put on me. Right in the beginning when I was first ill, I was going all over the place to different help groups. This I now realise was way too much. I am now however in a place where I am enjoying my appointments and learning all these exciting things that can help me in my life. This illness is such a slow process and I am such a go get it person, Well I was and still am in my mind. It is so hard to sit here and not be as active as my mind is but at least I can now see some progress. (if you would like to catch up on info about my illness, my first post is here I don't want to be going on and on about my illness but it is a huge part of me and so will come up a lot)
