Happy Sweetest Day!

Happy Sweetest Day! :o) I'm not sure who all celebrates it, but in my area....we do! :o) If you don't know anything about it...I'll do my best to explain it. It's when you and your "sweetie" exchange a card or something nice to each other! :o) Kind of like Valintines day! But not! lol :o) My daughter got a beautiful earring and necklace set and a card from her boyfriend! :o) She got him a card and I don't know what else yet because she's in class right now. :o) So, thats what Sweetest day is! :o) My husband calls is a second chance if you screwed up on Valintine's Day! LOL :o) Too funny! :o)

Last night, my husband and my daughter and grandson and I went to this place thats in our neighborhood for dinner. It's kind of like Piqua's best kept secret! :o) For the first time in so long, I had layed down a took a nap. And my daughter woke me up and said to get dressed! :o) She told me where we were going...so, I hurried along as fast as I could! That opportunity just doesn't come arround in this house very offten at all so I jump at that chance! LOL It was so nice to get out of this house, and to go out as a family as well! :o) It's a place that when we walk in, they know us and know what we are going to order to drink! And mostly what we will oder! Ok...now I have the song in my head from the show "Cheers!" lol But it's true! :o)
We came home. To get out of the car was like something major for me to do! Already my joints were hurting and my muscles were cramping up! I have a feeling that this year is really going to hurt! Yikes! My husband was going to go get my wheel chair to help get me into the house! I said no. The reason is beacuse even by sitting in the wheel chair, my body would feel the same way. I made it to the house. Got the clothes off and something loose and warm on. I was starting to feel a bit better within the hour. I took my night time medicines. I was ssitting in my bed relaxing. The pain just wasn't going away. So...I just have to wait this out, nothing else that can be done. :o) ....This too shall pass!
This morning, it happened to me again...I got up from sitting, and I had my cane....I stiid up and I could move! My legs and my upper thighs! They were rock solid! My husband asked if I was alright...and I told him no! And that it was happening again! I touch my thighs...both of them...they felt so weird! As if they were so tight! I tried to do the mind over matter...trying to tell my legs to move! That doesn't even help! Whoa! After standing there in one position for a bit...I felt my legs start to relax. Whew! Then I started to move them to get them going! I feels like i'm struggling with my body and my mind when this stuff happens...if that makes sense?! It's the weirdest thing. I honetly hope that there are not anyone out there that experiances this at all! It gets very scary. I would much rather be the guinea pig then anyone else out there. And I do pray that as well.
In my modg podg life...I never know what will happen next! Which does make it kind of an intersting life to me that is! LOL :o) I honestly do love my life as it is! Believe me...I've come a long way since I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia! :o) My daughter and my best friend can tell you that! :o) I've learned how to deal with the things that I have lost in my life. As in my abilities. At first..boy was it hard to deal with, and I creid so much. Who wouldn't? I'm only human! I remember one time my son came to me to let me know that he and his friends were going to go sledding. and I got up and said wait on me! Then it hit me! No...I couldn't do that anymore, and I sat down and cried! Because I always played and done things with my kids! I've lost that! :o( And it hurt. That was keeping me in a "stagnant" position that I needed to get out of and quick! So, each time I lost something, I would grieve that loss, and move on. Because I am human, and thats what we do! Thats normal! :o) Having a disease that no one can see on the out side is hard. And very hard to get it across to others, when they think that maybe you might me exaggerating a bit, which I know that you're not! Because I've been there! I still am....but, I take a different approach to it now...all I did was learn by trial and error. And, thats what life is trully all about anyways! :o)
Thank you so very much for all of your emails and comments! And God blesses all of you everyday! :o)
