To sit here and wait?

[Mehfruittea]

I suffer from chronic pain and use a wheelchair for any distance that takes longer than 1 min (my slow minute). I've overdone it on my movements today: tidied front room and vacuumed, made tea and very slightly tidied kitchen, 2 loads of washing through/dried/put away plus bedding changed. Picked DS up from school and walked from car because I can't get my wheelchair out on the road (it slopes), Played PJ masks with DS.

I really need painkillers but that means getting up off the sofa. Or I could refuse to move (unless house is on fire) and wait for DH to get home in 45 mins. He will then get me pills, but if I move now, then I will be feeling much better by the time he gets in.

AIBU to tough it out and not move?

I'd get up and get the painkillers - short term extra pain, long(er) term gain. But if you'd rather stay on the sofa then that works too.

I am of the stay on the sofa until someone else can get them party. Unless I am in serious trouble, or about to be. and for you until your DH gets back.

Thanks ladies. As luck has it, DH has arrived home early! So my sit it out strategy has paid off this time. I don't have pills in hand just yet though...
