*My thoughts-My Feelings-MyPain-MyBeliefs-My Life-Are Real*


Good Morning! :o) I hope that everyone is feeling fine today! :o) My family and I are so much better now. ;o)
My physical therapist will be coming this morning. It's been awhile, because of me being sick. So, I already know it's going to hurt. :o) I'm ready though, because my body really needs this! :o)

I'll be sending out the Christmas cards today! :o) I had to have my daughter help me....She did the writing on the envelopes, and I wrote on the cards. :o) I have a very hard time writing. Afterwards, we watched a movie together...Wedding Crashers! lol That was funny! :o) I'm hoping that the cards get across the pond before Christmas! :o)
People that really know me, know how much I like to read a lot and learn. It keeps your mind healthy and working too! :o) They also know that I like to read about/learn about different religions. I feel since we all believe in God! :o) I've been learning alittle bit from a friend about the Jewish faith. :o) I really want to thank her! What I learn from her, I tell my daughter, so we're learning together. :o) My daughter is like me as well. :o) I have a lot of respect for her and her family! :o) And I can't wait to learn more! :o)

My memory problems are still a problem! It's the short term memory that I can't remember. I got a comment from someone and she has fibro as well, and has gone through this too. So, I might know what is causing this to happen. I still don't know my phone number! And, a few other things. I have an appointment on Monday to see my arthritis specialist, and I'll talk to him about this. Maybe he can help me. Because this really is becoming a big problem for me in my life and it's effecting my day to day life as well. Not to mention it's a bit odd and scary! My pains, I'm used to, but this I'm not! This takes the front burner right now.
I just want to get something off my chest right now. Not a rant, just want to try and make something as clear as I can. Thats all. :o) Ok, yes, I am a Christian. Does that mean that I have to live my life, and do the same exact things that other's do? In my opinion...No. Again...we are all different, and thats how God made us! Wouldn't it be a boring world if we were all the same? I think it would. :o) Just becouse I choose to write about my life and not "preach" in my journal, doesn't mean that I do not have my faith where it should be, and that I don't have God in my heart or in my life guiding me. I do hope that does make sense. :o)
As for Christmas...I've already wrote my feelings about that, and I stand strong! :o) Give all year! And you don't need to give money....help someone clean there home, help them organize their kitchen, give someone a little bit of your time...that is such a gift right there! Just like when you recive a card in the mail...someone took the time to write, and send it to you! :o) How nice! :o) The act of giving! It's the love thats involved! :o) And thats what God would want us to do....act with love! :o) Don't you think? I do! :o)
I'm done now! :o) I hope I didn't make anyone mad! :o) Thank you all for you kind emails and comments! And God does bless all of us everyday of our lives! :o)

I"m glad everyone is doing much better now. I really enjoy the Jewish faith, learning about it that is. There faith is based far more on giving and how you live your life. I really beleive in what they stand for.  I haven't forgot about your massage, iw ant you to know that. She is already paid and waiting. :) I regret it may just have to wait until after Christmas or possibly this misrable questionable weather. But I haven't forgot and I think of you each day.
Love

So glad to hear you and your family are feeling better... but I hate to think of you being in pain during physical therapy, even if your body does need it!

Hi Lisa, we all have the right to believe as we wish.  To me preaching in my journal is not necessary.  I liked your comments about things that can be done at Xmas by just sending cards or helping someone out.  Unfortunately, when you have fibro, physiotherapy usually hurts pretty much.  I had a rheumatologist tell me that after I had a bad session of physio, that it is very important for those giving the therapy and for ourselves to not over do it and use vigorous modalities, it can make one much worse.  For me my fibro was reaching a point where I could not deal with it and my rheumatologist gave me a two prescriptions for narcotics.  Having worked in the medical field I did not wish to do this, so I discussed it with my family doctor.  He sent me to a chronic pain specialist and this doctor recommended nerve root injections.  It will not take the pain away but it helps bring it down to a level that is manageable.  This may be something you also can discuss with your arthritis specialist when you see him.  It is not coritsone injections.  It is something else.  I am going home next week I can find out for you.  God bless, with this time of year the pain gets worse, I do hope your therapy eases it somewhat.  Take care.
