Thanks for the understanding message. Unfortunately there is no "others" in this move. We paid for the big stuff and the boxes I had managed to get packed to be moved. But we are having to move the rest of it ourselves. This includes clothing, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. etc. I noticed yesterday that my poor husband looked too thin. Sure enough after weighing him today, he's lost 5 lbs. This man didn't have 5 lbs to lose. I've lost almost 5 lbs in a week and I don't know how much it will be when the swelling all goes down. My rheumatoid is really cranked up. My hands are so sore from packing and also carrying coat hangers full of clothing. I've got one finger that has the knuckles deformed just since I started the move. I sure am hoping this doesn't get much worse. I need my hands.

We have to get the house empty and start the work on it so we can sell it. These house payments are the pits.

After the initial onset of the inflammation I haven't noticed the neuropathy pain being worse. Now it's my back, sacrum, sore hands, and sore feet. All rheumatoid arthritis. At first the nerve prickling was worse but maybe I've gotten used to the uptick because what I notice now is all the soreness.

We slowed the pace down today. Both of us actually sat in a patio chair and played with our dogs for a short while today. I'm worried about my husband and I will push myself harder for him.

I'll try to keep checking in but I'm o.k.
