Persons with AIDS do suffer terribly, too. Most people with pain conditions can do nothing to prevent them either. <br /><br />Second, Lynn, I am sad to read your saying that you know that you'll have to suffer the rest of your life with this. Please do not give up hope. Hope for a cure and/or more effective treatments.<br /><br /><br />There is always reason for hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073072745301054011.post-52762475242537798082011-01-12T16:02:35.356-05:002011-01-12T16:02:35.356-05:00You go girl......so glad all is going well with Su...You go girl......so glad all is going well with Sue. It has been a wake up call for me as well. Family history plays into that!!!!!<br />Talk to you soon!!!!!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645900309182335382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073072745301054011.post-57308243660978658812011-01-12T12:27:23.125-05:002011-01-12T12:27:23.125-05:00Yes, Lynn, it was bound to happen. It always does...Yes, Lynn, it was bound to happen. It always does. We victims of The DEMON, Fibro, always have flares. We flare because we care.<br />It was good news to know that your mother-in-law did well in her surgery. It's amazing what medicine and surgery can do for the human condition, and yet they can't help us!<br />I don't really care who walks on the moon or writes the next best novel or wins the Nobel Peace Prize. I want some of those gazillion dollars the government is spending on a cure for AIDS to be spent helping the helpless victims of Fibro. We can't prevent our disease...the victims of AIDS can!<br />I'm not too much into exercise, as I get lots on the farm here, but if it helps you, go for it.<br />I'd much rather you get some graph paper and plot your new garden spot in your back yard.<br />I'd like to see your new plans and how you hope to improve the already beautiful work you've done. Talk to your neighbor in the rear and see when he's planning to hire that dozer to do the property line. Ask if you and Jim can get your work done at the same time, and pay for the additional hours. It will cost you lots less, and you will be able to get the dozer into your back yard without tearing up your front yard.<br />Did Jim get the Red Maple set back upright? If he hasn't already, the roots may have frozen. We've had really bad winter weather here. The schools have been out all week, and they will likely be out the rest of the week.<br />Choring for me is a lot of work.<br />Steve shoveled me a walkway out to the Hut, but it's been covered over for two days now.<br />I don't shovel snow unless it's critical.<br />I figure God knows when He's had enough complaining about it.<br />I haven't been off the farm in 5 days. That is like a record for me. I don't know how the Goodwill is staying in business.<br />Joan told me this morning that they're closing the Family Dollar at 7:00 each evening, to let their employees get home before it gets too slick. She and her husband have 4-wheel drive, and they're going to get her employees. One lady, Elaine, offered to walk to work, but it's about 5 miles for her.<br />I told Joan to tell her she's crazy.<br />That cheap junk that's made in China is not worth all that work. She really needs a paycheck.<br />Visit Sue, and give her our kindest regards. Tell her we're praying for a complete recovery.<br />Then get back into your own bed and get YOUR rest! You're sick, too. They just can't find your disease on an MRI or CAT scan.<br />Physician....heal thyself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073072745301054011.post-77653618520180831852011-01-12T12:08:41.538-05:002011-01-12T12:08:41.538-05:00Good for you! I try to go to the gym and sometimes...Good for you! I try to go to the gym and sometimes, well,most times, I have to take a pain pill before I start walking. I keep it up though, because I know it's good for me. Good that you guys get to do it together!!Rosemary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413577350795054949noreply@blogger.com
