Getting better..

Well...I had a HS bumpie come up and it was painful. By last Saturday, it was getting worse and I put on my disguise of "I am okay", on my face. Sunday it was unbearable, the location is in my left pelvic area, so sitting was a challenge.  I did the normal things I do to take my mind off of the pain.  Anything to distract me.  Hobbies, games, etc.  Nothing did the trick.  

Monday I was pale, and winced everytime  I had to breathe or sit forward. All this week I could not get to what I needed, tending to cleaning the place.  Anyone who is ill would know this predicament.  

Tuesday the HS bumpie burst and bled.  I was sitting there thinking why do I feel really fatigued and sick? You would think that since I have been through this countless times, I would be used to it. No...it just gets disheartening.  

It continued like this Wed as well. If I sneezed the bumpie would bleed.  So it didnt take much.  Relief is slow to feel and that left leg and thigh numb from so much pain , that I cannot feel the blood running down.

Today I can move a little more and there is less blood.  On the other side of things, a couple of years ago, this bumpie would stay for months before it decided to bleed/burst.  Now that I did my routine of soaking etc, it brought the relief sooner.  

 Right now the last four days have been hell.  My stomach is nervous from the golf ball of pain as it pummeled the whole left side of my pelvic area.  How odd that I needed a cane on Monday to move and today I am moving on my own.  So many people are in disbelief about my illness and what it does.  If they could only walk in my shoes for a day , four days, or a month! Lol.

I guess if we all could walk in someone else's shoes..there would be alot more understanding in this world.
