Today was a good day!! A really good day! It does my heart good.
I was unable to get up until about midday, and Miss M.E. was up but not at 'em... but I decided to hitch up a 'treat' for her with my hubby for an hour in the afternoon - a wee trip to a quiet arcade, where they could play slot machines, try to claw up some prizes, race each other on stationary motorbikes. It's not something we would normally do, which made it all the more fun. We kept it all very hush-hush prior ... and she was very anxious to know what her surprise might be! It had been months since she has been well enough to go out with friends etc (or even well enough for school) and it is hard to find a suitable activity that doesn't require any strength or energy but provides a change of scenery from being housebound.
They had a fabulous time.
When she came back from the spacies arcade she was full of information about the tickets, the Sponge Bob soft toy they had won (and the strategy used), the airhockey game they had played together.
They were gone for approx an hour, and she has been resting since, I'm hoping the post-exertional malaise (PEM) won't hit too badly.
So pleased to have found something to suit her :). A wee glimmer of light for her to be able to feast off for the next few weeks :). Nothing is ever simple with M.E - it's all about strategy and pacing........... and hoping for the best.........
Do you have any fun hobbies/outings that you like to do when you feel well enough? Any energy-saving ideas or treat outings? xxxx
