Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 My daughters go to a charter school & they require the parents to do 2hrs of volunteering at the school a month. I have no problem with that. I volunteered to be a cafeteria mom. I had so much fun. It is only 2hrs & I wipe down the tables in between groups. The only depressing thing is that since I quit working I have felt so good I think I can do lots of things. Well I tried to do two days in a row of lunchroom duty & almost died! My legs felt like rubber as well as really heavy. I took a 2hr nap the next day to recover! I guess standing for 2hrs straight IS hard on me. I didn't think it would be, but I was comparing that to when I was running around for 8hrs at work. Now that was too much! Now I only do it once a week & have requested other things I can do sitting down. I'm just so frustrated because I really thought it would be no big deal. I think I'm still sort of in denial about my abilities. E. Colorado "Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops." Cary Grant Check out the new AOL.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 When I am sitting and feeling rested I make mental lists of everything I want to do. Then I get up and everything changes. I washed one small sink of dishes this morning and my back was on fire and so weak I could barely make it to a chair. I love going to my favorite store on Saturday mornings (Goodwill, of course). Often we will then go to the produce market afterward. Then I had to rest in the afternoon and sometimes I'm zonked all day the next day, too.I want to go and do things but my body won't cooperate. So I know how you feel. hugs)Sharon Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time..

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Yeah,…….I do this every night when I go to bed…..as I am drifting off to sleep, I say, now “tomorrow” when I get up I am going to do_________? It took me a whole week to get over Skylars birthday party here. I didn’t do very much but sit and enjoy watching all the activities, but I guess the high energy flowing just zapped me? I went to my Dr. on Wed., and I have been so sore and achy ever since. More than usual. This really sucks, because there is so much I want to do, and like you I make all these mental notes, and then I’m lucky if I can do any of it. I’ve been at this for 25 years, and homebound the last 7, and I still can’t figure out why some times I can do something and not be adversely affected by it, and then another time I do the same thing it knocks me out?
