This blog is about FibroMyalgia, and the particularly strange ways it affects my life. Although it can be a royal pain (oh, no, puns already?), Fibro can also be pretty interesting. And yes, I feel strongly that a sense of humor is the best medicine, particularly in my case. So, come along for the ride, I'll post some of the more interesting neural miscommunications as they come up. If I don't post for a while, maybe I'm feeling normal -- whatever that is...

The most fitting rehearsal ever...
Yesterday I choreographed the song and dance number for the character who is supposedly 160 years old.
It will look surprisingly authentic.

Horrible... horrible... but...
Okay, so it was a really bad day, one of those days where functional is possible, but not by much. I should have called in to work, but didn't feel up to it... so I went in instead. Easy day in the classroom, just interminably long. Then I drove to my other school for rehearsal. I really wanted to at least finish the last huge number; my original goal for today had been that and setting one of the 'easy' numbers. Well, I got to school number two, and gutted my way through... and actually accomplished all I had originally planned for! The cast of the musical is so great this year, with such positive energy, they managed to pick me up enough to make it work!
I think that if I could just start there, then move to my classroom, my days would be so much smoother, lol...

Just When You Think There is Nothing New Under the Sun...
Yeah, I got a new sensation today... at least I don't remember this one happening before. I woke up with a broken neck. I've had a severed head before, but that's not the same. This was broken bones in my neck, with my head still attached. Maybe I have experienced it before, but don't remember, because the memory part of the brain was damaged when my neck broke... hmmm....

And the results are eh
Okay, so the drive in today, no fun. Still felt that drive when I went to drive home. No fun. Then got home and napped. Fun. Then went upstairs and played with the babies. Way fun. Then came back downstairs and did a little research. Slight fun.
Then, about 45 minutes ago, a few of my ribs broke. And they and their rib buddies keep doing it. I'm up to about 35 breaks so far. I keep trying to convince them that this, too, is no fun, but they aren't listening to me. Ribs are fickle that way.

And the results are in... sort of...
Well, this week has been spring break. I have done very little driving, seeing how much that helped my body. The first part of break I really felt good almost every day. Yesterday and today, not so good. And tomorrow I go back to commuting. I wonder if the last two days have been my body's knowledge of the upcoming driving, or if driving has not really been aggravating me as much as I had thought... arrggghhhhh

It's one of those days...
So we should discuss something else... um... anyone have any good, easy soup recipes for the crock pot?

Life is Full of Rude Awakenings...
Like this one: I was dreaming, and someone bumped into me, and I immediately woke up because the person bumping into me broke four of my ribs on the right side... and I woke up with them still broken...
