I do believe that in Tennessee and probably in Texas, this is known as “making hay when the sun shines”, you can correct me if I am wrong…oh, never mind about that last part.
If you don’t already know, this is exceptionally true for lupies! We never know how we are going to feel or what might incapacitate us at any given moment. I may have a perfectly marvelous day today and not be able to get out of bed tomorrow because of some kind of pain, muscle or joint, or perhaps some other strange malady. Before I was diagnosed with lupus I had paralysis in my left hand. For six months. My doctors finally decided to attribute the paralysis to some kind of virus…true story!
So for those of you with autoimmune disease I don’t think I have to tell you twice to “get while the gettin’ is good”. And for those of you who love someone with an autoimmune disease, now you will understand why we might leave the sink full of dishes to rush off to Zumba class. The dishes will be waiting for our return, unless they miraculously do themselves, because we might not feel like exercising when the next Zumba class rolls around.
Grab your board when the surf is up ya’ll and thanks for following along as I face life with lupus,
