gentle hugs

Who is going to see your home? It's fine the way it is while you cope with the pain flare.

You'll be able to talk slow walks again, just not while the pain flare is attacking you.

Useless? Well, yes maybe right now ... pain can make us feel that way anyway, whether it's true or not. No, you can't do all the stuff you've added back into your life since the last flare ... but not useless.

Be more gentle with yourself. The anger you feed with such thoughts only make your pain worse (I know you know this, just reminding you.)

Breathe. Allow yourself to cope.
