    Sciatica and a women’s issue, neither serious but painful and limiting what I can do. Been totally off my feet since Friday really so hubby and 2 elder kids are covering me as well as 2 of them working…hubby had to work school hours due to youngest being disabled but no idea how we cope next week as he breaks up today 🤷‍♀️🥲

    I knew someone who had sciatica a few years ago and she said it was a really painful condition, so sorry to hear it, Crazycatlady2, I know you don't need me to tell you this but rest up and take care of yourself xx
