hot dang! update

hot dang! i feel good today! gorgeous day outside. i feel rested. really
rested. finally. slept well enough the past couple of days (didn't need
sleep aids, just pain relief).

i feel energized today, but know not to do dumb stuff, though i did have to
mop up and sanitize a toilet overflow this morning. i felt relatively pain
free enough to cope with that without my usual buckling from mopping induced
horrendous pain (and took a pain pill afterwards. it did twinge a little,
cuz it was time for a pain pill.) feel like i got myself and my life back!
even if it is a pill induced delusion, i'm loving it.<g> feels good to feel
better for a change!

i know i'm feeling better when i look out my window at my backyard and start
thinking . . . "lime -- to sweeten the soil (which will minimize the acidic
soil mosses and weeds) -- and more grass seed!"<g> no. i'm not nuts enough
to drag out my mini-rototiller and do the job myself. not this time; not
this kid, who knows better.LOL i'm not going to undo this goodness, if
don't have to.

odd how it didn't register how bad it really was-- that it could be
better--i thought it just was what it was and how it was going to be. i
guess wally world pushed my coping abilities to the breaking point. thanks
for the nudges in the right direction, you guys!

Good update, lady. Wonderful that you're feeling good, no matter what
caused it. Pray it stays that way, or rather gets even better.

Isn't it nice to get a halfway decent day once in a a while? Sunday & Monday
were relatively good for me and most of yesterday wasn't too bad. Didn't
accomplish as much on my projects as I would have liked though as we're still
dealing with the aftermath of our basement flood. But it helped with that
and let me do a bit else. But just the relief of feeling better for a
bit....... back to back fronts are coming through today though and since
late last night I've been flaring, putting pressure back on some nerves, etc.
oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

I thik we all do that. I know I've had times when i wondered if i really was
ill or if I was jut turning into a wimp & a whiner. Then I'll get a good day
and the difference is enough to make the whole world feel magical.

As for sleep - I find I cope exponentally less well when tired. In fact,
had to stop this earlier as I was to whipped to even type earlier. Had to go
lie down for a while before i could do anything more. (Mind you, I HAD been
working hard in the basement for a couple of hours earlier in the day).

Kate,

glad you got to sleep finally I am sure that is helping you out some and
glad you got some of the pain under control now.

Yeah sometimes we just don't know something else is going on when we are in
pain all the time as it is. I feel for you and hope you heal quickly.

The offer for that bubble wrap is still available.
