Well hard day, now have tummy pains think it's the IBS.  Legs are very swollen and a funny colour.  Hate the cold and it's not even winter really yet.  Fingers are painful too, they are swollen and tanned again. 

I have used the cyclo-ssage again I do feel a difference, especially just after the treatment my toes are not as cold as they were before.  

Saw an old friend which I think helped today, when you are shut off from the world you tend to become forgotten.  We had a good chat which was lovely.  They didn't realise how bad it has all got.  Don't get me wrong I don't normally go on about my health, I do try to keep some independence, I don't like to cause anyone any trouble even though sometimes I should admit defeat.  Sometimes the person most silent is the person with so much pain.

I still hope in writing this blog and doing this website that I will find people like me out there.  I am still card making which I am really enjoying.  It feels like I am accomplishing something even if I just donate them to charity.  I am also thinking of doing a donation challenge where I put on notice 'donate a pound today'.  This will be by post on FB where anyone can donate one pound or more to a local charity for Christmas.  What do you think to this idea?  I always try to think of other people in a worse situation to me and how I can help even if it is from the sofa. 

Do hope all is well and my motto today: Smile at someone and they will smile back.
