TODAY IS NATIONAL FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS DAY!!!! I wish I could get this out to everyone......
Yesterday was a very crappy day....close to a day from hell for me. Sunday started it for me, I spent the afternoon on the couch trying not to throw up, trying not to move because I hurt so bad!! It just went down hill from there. Yesterday I woke up and prayed I would make it thru the day. I think it was about 4:00 when I was finally able to get off the bed and take a shower.
I felt like dying is the best way to put it.......I think I cried more yesterday than I have in along time. I had a commitment that I was 3 days late on doing and couldn't wait another day so I went to do it. Dad, I am going to say this part and please don't fuss at me.....I left the house and started driving and found myself calling Jim crying very hard, I did not remember how to get to his office! I totally panicked!!! Once I called him and remembered which way to go I was fine!
I had just been in such a fog all day and hurting.....I was able to get my job done and go eat supper with Jim and Kyle. I felt somewhat better. Jim won me a red teddy bear out of one of those machines that has the big hook. I was so happy!!!
Came home and laid back down...I finished Alexx's graduation announcements and will be mailed today. I gotta get stamps before the go up another 2 cents!!!
Yesterday was just a really bad day....pain, tiredness, feeling quizzy, foggy. Tried not taking my sleeping pill last night, about 1:30 I couldn't take it any more! I am falling asleep while typing this. I woke up with Jim about 7:30ish. I feel alot better and am actually going to get out and do a few errands. I am going to take a 30 minute nap first!!!!!! THANK YOU JIM FOR MAKING ME LAUGH LAST NIGHT!!!
I am so excited, tomorrow we leave for a 5 day bike trip to the outer banks. I am also terrified!! I don't want to hold Jim back. I am afraid I will hurt and not want to get on the bike, afraid I will be to tired, how am I going to feel after I get off the bike??? My friends know I have fibro but how understanding will they really be? How patient will they be??? I so want to have a great time...this is very important for Jim and he does soooo much for me! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.....
