It's starting...

The not driving 50-75 miles per day? I don't want to jinx anything, but I've been having glimpses of low pain levels! It's kind of like Swiss cheese right now, I just 'pop into' the holes every once in a while, but I have not even had that much clearance in many months. I'm liking this! 

Of course, the fact that I have not pumped gas in a week is kind of nice too...

FYI Response...

I did lose two pounds! If I get the flu four more times, I'll make my target weight!

FYI...

The flu is worse with fibro. And fibro is worse with the flu. Funny how that works...

But on a positive note, it was a 24 hour bug, and man, did I feel great after the 28th or so hour! Sleeping and eating are good things. Having both taken away at once? Not so good. Of course, I am posting this at 2:30 on a school night, so the sleeping thing is still off-kilter, but the eating thing is just about back to normal!

I'm So Unique!

I have a couple of ribs that run vertically down the sides of my ribcage! Of course, I had never noticed them before... because they'd never been broken before. All the rest of the bones that are broken right now are normal ones. No story there, but I figured the two new ribs rated a blog entry!

Pain, Pain, Go Away...

...but you can skip the 'come again another day' part!

Made it to May!

Whew! The last week of April was incredibly intense. And of course the body has been reacting. 

The school musical went very well, but took a lot out of me. Just to add to the fun, I've had three interviews for positions for next fall... the same week as the show. Extra, added fun heaped on top of running my classroom! 

Chronic Fatigue and broken bones have been the main culprits through this -- both of which I am pretty used to. Chronic Fatigue while driving from the classroom to one of the interviews is special; being nervous and fighting to stay awake while operating a motor vehicle? Priceless!
