Yesterday (Sunday), Husband was feeling very cheerful, and much stronger than usual, so we went walkabout in Ikano/Curve area. After a couple of hours, I asked him if he wanted to head home, but he said No, he can keep walking :-P... so we kept walking, and walking, and walking... for almost FOUR HOURS! By the time we got home, he was exhausted. Was still able to stay up the rest of the day, but, guess what, by night time the muscle ache had hit him - particularly as we had not just walked FOUR hours, but because he had walked much FASTER than he has in a long long time!
You know what you feel like when you go to the gym after a LONG break, and the next day your muscles are KILLING you? Well, that is what has hit Husband. His muscles are killing him - his leg muscles, his bum muscles (Yes, you do use your bum muscles when you walk!!), and his back (as always) is aching.
Of course, at this time he is aching so much that he just cannot believe that the ache WILL recede in 2 - 3 days time, so he is feeling rather despondent again (particularly since he was feeling so good yesterday morning)... My job - to keep reminding him that his muscles WILL stop aching, that he WILL feel better, etc, and, of course, to keep him eating, drinking and taking his meds regularly.
That's it for now... till next time, keep Husband in your thoughts and prayers, and stay safe, stay HEALTHY!
