This Week

This week hasn't been the best. I don't know how to describe it, but things haven't felt right. You know the feeling you get right before your arm falls asleep, almost a numb, tingly feeling that isn't quite painful but verges on it? Well, I've had that feeling in my right arm quite a bit the last few days. I've had that off and on in the past, but this is the most constant it's been.
I've also had that same sensation in the muscles on the back of my right thigh, along w/ feeling like it's on the verge of cramping through out the day. This is a new sensation for the leg.
Lastly . . . most everyone knows I've had a hard time standing from a squatting position since last Nov. Well, this past weekend was the first time I haven't been able to stand on my own using my arms and legs to push myself up. . . there were a few times Bob had to lift me up or I had to make my way over to a stool or something else so I could gain leverage to help pull myself up. (bad weekend to try and paint the wall and clean a bottom cabinet!) You don't realize how often you squat down instinctually . . . when you drop something, when you need something from a low shelf, etc.)
I have discovered that my emotions are in direct proportion to how I'm feeling physically, so needless to say it hasn't been a good week for me or for Bob. :-) We're off to San Diego and Disneyland this weekend so hopefully it will create enough of a distraction that we're able to forget about this for a while and have a good time.
