Well, half way through Winter Break. So far, so good. Sleep has been way off, but that's not really a problem. I'm getting enough, just not at the normal times. I'll take that. Physically pretty normal for me, problems walking, bones snapping, phantom disturbances -- nothing to report, really.
But it's a new year, and another week without a set schedule. Hopefully the dogs will keep me on my toes for another 8 days!

A Lesson on Fibro Masking
A perfect example:
Thursday, I was about the worst I've been in 2017. I was sitting on the couch, in recliner position. Buddy came running to jump into my lap, but forgot that the couch is higher than the floor and slammed, chest-first, into my left foot. He was fine, always is. My foot hurt a little, but nothing compared to how the rest of me was feeling.
Friday morning, still feeling pretty cruddy. About half an hour after I woke up, I happened to look at my left foot. Clearly two broken toes, one not even facing exactly in the right direction. Both purple. So, I taped them up and wore slippers all day.
Saturday, out running errands, still taped. Part way through my toes started noticeably hurting. That's how I really knew that the fibro was getting better. No more fibro masking any 'real' pain I was experiencing.
Make sense now?

Thanksgiving
Interesting timing...
I don't skip work for Fibro. I usually refuse to, preferring to fight through whatever is ailing me that day. And I hate leaving my room to someone else -- and sub plans, yuck!
Today, I would have called in sick. I am so far from functional. But no sub plans needed, since it's a holiday, no school.
A reason to be Thankful?

Nothing...
Just the usual. Lots of seizures lately, and occasionally bilateral. That's about the only news. But I felt like writing. So I am.

Oops... Forgot to Post a Fun One!
This was about a week ago... how could I have kept it from my adoring fans?
I woke up, and my lower legs weren't legs. After a few moments of frustration, I realized what my calves and feet felt like. They were bowling pins, upside down so the small round part was what I was trying to walk on. Frustration flew out the window, and laughter took over. Of course, laughing didn't make the process of learning to walk on them easier, but if sure made it more fun!
