.....a relaxing day.

I had another relaxing day yesterday. It's been so nice for me, the last few days. My husband and I have gotten a lot of things worked out. Plus, not having much pain sure does make a world of differences! I still do have back pain. Yesterday it was really hurting me. I needed to go Sears to get a few items, and my husband said he would take me. So, thankfully, they now have shopping carts there, and it made it so much easier on me. He looked at tools, while I bought my items. We were done and out of there in no time flat! Then my back was hurting me pretty bad. I just came home and took a nap with my dog, and dreamt it away. When I woke up, it did feel a bit better. I have a doctors appointment today at 1:00. My physical therapist comes at 11:00. I can't wait for either of them. I have a feeling that my doctor will be a little surprised at how I am doing. He should look at how I'm doing, and not the fact that I'm not taking his medicines. Oh well, if he don't. I didn't get any boxes packed, but neither did anyone else. So I don't feel bad about not getting to it. I called my mom yesterday to let her know that I had an appointment today, and she said she would call me and we would talk when she got home, after she checked her email. I didn't get a call, and I didn't get an email. Thats ok, that must mean something must have came up. I haven't heard from her all week. So, if she doesn't come today to take me to my doctor, I can try to drive it myself. :o) My allergic reaction to my dentures, doesn't seem to be clearing up very fast. That concerns me. I am still using the wash. Like the dentist said, the fibromyalgia can do strange things to people, and it just wanted to make me allergic to my dentures. Of all things! My daughter has been very sick with her pregnancy. I really hope that she will be ok. She's sick all day, and everyday. :o( When I seen her, she was nothing but skin and bones. Thats not good. I really wish she was here, so I could at least help her through her first trimester. But, oh well. Her choice. Bye.

Date night! :o)

I had a wonderful time last night! My husband and I went to one of our favorite resteraunts last night, and then came home and watched a movie! :o) I can't even remember how long it's been that we've went out to eat together! I know it's been a few years. It was so nice, and relaxing. We need more time like that. :o) The rest of the day was spent just relaxing. I had to, because of my back still hurting. Again, at least thats all that is hurting me right now. :o) With this fibromyalgia, you never know when you're going to hurt, and where. So far, nothing new. Whew! Today, I'll again try to pack another box! I'm getting there, slowly but surely. :o) There really isn't much to tell. I do have an appointment tomorrow to see my doctor. He will more than likely be a little upset that I took myself off of some of my medicines. Oh well, let him. He'll see the difference him self.

.....a box a day!

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Cue in, "the back pain.....!" That seems to be the only pain that I've been having lately, is only my back now. Since I've lost some weight, and my legs and ankles don't swell any more, my ankles seem to be weak now. Well, again, they have always been weak, thats why I've always twisted my ankles and broken things, like my bones through the years! So, I am aware of that. I twisted both of them last night! lol It just makes me feel more and more, back to "normal" again! My best friend called me last night, and asked me if I wanted to go to WH. Of course I did! YAY! She sprung me lose from my room! I tried something new again. I didn't take my walker with me. I didn't even hold her arm for any support! I did it! YESSS! It's not that much of a walk, but, I did it! :o) What it probably looked like to on-lookers was a pregnant woman walking slowly. I don't care! :o) Things are starting to happen now. To the good! I do still remember that I also need to rest afterwards, because I need to build up my strength. I have been "trying" to pack. But, it just seems that I can only get in a box a day! I over heat still! Very badly! I'll pack a box, over heat, then it takes about an hour of me sitting in front of a fan, to cool off. I have to pack. I am getting ready to go upstairs to take a look at the things up there as well. Today is going to be rest day....I'm hoping. :o) Bye.

Yesterday was a pretty good day!

Yesterday, my daughter's boy friends mom brought her up. :o) It was so good to see her finally! I took some photo's of her, and she looks so cute! She has lost weight, in fact, I thought she looked like skin and bones. But, thats what happens when you get pregnant, you lose weight, then you put it on! She has this beautiful glow about her! I seen her, for the first time, as a woman. :o) I hope her boy friend fixes her car this weekend like he said, so she can visit more often. :o) As for the fibro pain, I'm doing ok. Just still my back. Nothing new. I've come to terms, that I'll never get rid of that pain. Which is better than having a full body pain, anyday! My one sister that moved away, had moved back a few weeks ago, and she called me last night. She told me that she is on a mission to make sure that she stays in touch with her family now. Keyword:Now! After the time before she moved, when she came back the last time, and now? Why? It's really hard, and will take a long time for her to earn her trust back with me. Other than all of that going on, I suppose things are ok here in my room. Bye.

......in pain this morning!

My back is really hurting me this morning. My right shoulder is as well. I probably just slept wrong, I don't know. I just took Advil, and I can already feel it relax a bit more. Well, my husband came home yesterday and gave me the big news.....it's oficial...WE GOT THE HOUSE! I am very excited, but not looking forward to the packing. I started to pack some boxes yesterday, and over heated, and it took an hour for me to cool down! Oh well, I can do it, get over heated, then go cool down. That will be that. That way it will get done. My daughter and her boyfriends mom is coming up today for a visit. I'm very excited to see my daughter! I will be doing a reading, so I'll need some quiet time. After they leave, I'll probably just go lay down, and dream it away. I guess I'll go now.

Much better day!

Yesterday was so much better. I had such a fulfilling day. :o) I was able to help a someone out! Now that makes me feel good! I am an empath, and are able to help others with readings. Since my fibromyalgia has become worse, it has taken so much from me, just to try to do the "mind over matter," to help with my pain. It litterally zaps me. I do have good days, to where I am able to "recieve" things, to help others. Through a lot of concentration, I was able to help someone, and thats one of the best feelings ever! I'd much rather help someone, then ever hurt anyone. I'm a virgo, and thats just the way I am. :o) I wasn't in very much pain at all, yesterday. Things seem to be levaling out somehow in my body. Thats a very good thing to happen right now. It sure is giving me a break on all of that horrid pain. Which does consume me. It's just like a fight against me, and the fibromyalgia. But, I have a feeling that I will win this thing! :o) I will not give up until I do!

Sleep was great!

I finally got some sleep! It was very restless. I'm now wondering if I'm getting what my son has. With fibromyalgia, it's so hard to filter out what's not a part of it, and what's something else. I'm really feeling miserable this morning. Plus, it could have something to do with the weather we've been having. It's 27 degrees out! Way too cold for me! bbbuuurrr! My back is really in some pain. Thats where all of my pain began with all of this, so I usually expect it. Other than that, I don't know if anything else is in too much pain. I'm still numb! I finally know of someone else that has this problem as I do! They have a full body numbness with their fibromyalgia as well. I don't feel so weird anymore. My legs and ankles are not swelling anymore! YAY! My hands were last night. The reason might be for that, could be because I might have used too hot of water washing them. I don't know. They were pretty puffy, and red. They are fine now. I seen my daughter on line yesterday, and was able to talk to her. :o) It made my day. She has an appointment to get her first aultra sound done on the 25 of this month, and I want to be there with her! :o) I can't wait! At least I hope I can get down there to be with her, and to see the first photo of my grand baby. :o) I need to go. Byeeee!
