getting things done without pain and fatigue

[Guest guest]

Ok guys,

I need some help. The last 2 days I did extra cleaning than usual. I was on my

feet for about 2 hours straight both days and now I can barely walk. My ankles

hurt so bad, they feel like they are broken. My outer part of my heels hurt.

I am so frustrated that I can't even handle cleaning my house for a couple

hours without getting like this.

I quit teaching last year and got on SSDI and work part time now, thinking that

I would be able to do more at home if I cut down, but I guess not.

My husband and I are becoming fosterparents and now I am beginning to wonder if

I can handle it. I get inspired by those of you that have several children and

can keep going. Please give me some advice on how to deal with this pain and

still get things done.

Frustrated in IL,

Jen
