RE: The Forever Skirt

in NeedleWorkMonday3 years ago


Do you know why covid had this impact on you? (is it from medication? Or because you maybe are too exhausted to move?... I am only speculating, please feel free to ignore my non-medical-trained thoughts)
I hope you will recover fully and come back to your old self or find a solution to alter the garments (if they do not fit). Covid is no fun... sometimes people seem to forget it (in Germany) and think because they were lucky to not have any problems everyone else is also lucky... but thats not the case (e.g. I still have impaired hearing although I had this tiny surgery on my ear)I just wrote @phoenixwren that I also own a lot of clothes which are realllllyy old, but these are mostly clothes with some kind of stretch to them, like knitted things or jersey skirts. The woven ones are not so forgiving :-DDDD Many of them (like the above skirt) are altered so many times, they do not fit well any longer.

Sort:  

I had treatment for covid with dexamethasone injections, that is a steroid and as a result I gained weight but that was added to my lack of physical activity because I was always at home working sitting down, my mom gained weight due to the same treatment but I managed to lose weight again with no problem, but not me, I stayed the same ☹️

I guessed this (I am also taking cortisone/steroid right now)... steroids are such a helpful thing, so sad they have side-effects. But I would not give up hope that you go back to "normal" Sometimes it needs a lot of time... arg no fun. But just that you know, you look no different on the photos you publish, so I think you did not gain a lot… maybe your clothes are not so tight as you fear.

fortunately I don't show my belly or butt on Hive 🤭🤭🤭 Thank you for your comment sister, you make me feel better
