These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Three. Five. What's in a number, anyway?

Apparently, there is more than I anticipated.

OK, this is day three without meds (anti-inflamatory) for arthritis and fibromyalgia, and I'm beginning to really feel it. My joints are feeling stiffer and achy, and my muscles are feeling it. Just five more days. That's all, just five.

Keep saying the mantra with me .... Just five more.

gah.

  2. LOL! As if I have a choice!! Oh, I know I can do it, but it's just one of those things that kinda sucks about having surgery. Thanks for the cheers!

  3. I am so sorry can your doctor give you a shot of something to calm the muscles down and keep the joints free just a thought. I can so relate to you.

  4. Bobbie, I don't know about that. Most meds that do that, at least to my knowledge, have to be stopped because the have a tendency to thin the blood, therefore, can't be given near surgery. I figure I can do this. If it were a long time, it would be different, but a few days? I'll be OK. I know you understand this, but I also know your situation is far more serious and painful than mine. Thank you for your kindness. :)
