I don't eat when in severe pain. I just can't.

But my chronic pain and arthritis, is aggravating. I just got some amitriptyline at the doctor's this week. My feet are not hurting too much but my neck, back hip and knee are giving me grief.

I grow things. I start my garden indoors, around now with seeds.
Right now some go in the fridge for "cold treatment". I have 3 pots of cat grass germinating and some catnip.

My cats keep me pretty busy, and laughing, and I rely upon them quite a bit to keep me diverted from discomfort.

I also come here. I've found over the years that helping others, helps me. I enjoy knowing there is some hope, some benefit my painful existence is connecting to.
