Fibro fog, pain, writing sandwiched in between. Quotes. Sermon notes. Encouragement. |
A Texas Sunrise A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge. This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby. Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog. I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh. For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

My monthly visit with my hematologist/oncologist was on Thursday. There is an understanding when I make each appointment that I might see the doctor or I might see his physician's assistant. I have always seen the doctor and never met the PA until this time. She looked at the last xray and asked if she could feel for the lump. She asked me to point to where it should be because she wasn't feeling anything. When she finally found it, she looked at the xray again. And she said, "I think it has shrunk again. It feels like a large grape now." So, over the past months it has gone from a large plum size to a large grape. Thank you for your prayers. "My Favorite Neighbor" "Sharing Sunshine...It's What I Do!"
