A Pleasant Surprise

"Birthday" Celebration in Church today

It's almost 5pm and I've come to a sudden realisation - I'm not in pain.  I haven't been in pain all day.

The sulfasalazine must be starting to work.

I'm still tired and nauseas.  But to be fair - I've only had a half hour nap today. I was up at 6.30am to get ready for church. It was the 35th anniversary of the Uniting Church in Australia, and my son and I went in early to surprise everyone by having the church decorated for a birthday party.  Since church and morning tea, I've been shopping with my son, and been out for coffee with twice (with different friends). And I went to bed late last night because I was making birthday cake.  So maybe I've earned being tired at the moment.

The nausea's annoying, but it's not as bad as it was earlier in the week when I started the sulfasalazine.

All in all, I've got to say, it's been a surprisingly good day.  I think I'll have a little nap before I cook dinner. And hope for more good days to come.
