Today Is Saturday....

Today is Saturday.....

I awake and finally feel free of the pain that my recent fibro visitor has been placing upon me....
This past few weeks has been somewhat overwhelming...
So within the walls of my cosy abode...I have been quite miserable....disappointed and flattened by the fatigue of this terrible illness.

My unfortunate Fibro visitor has been relentless of late, conquering his waynover and through me...turning up at the most inopportune times....

How dare he....invade my relaxation at Hydro Therapy...I tried so hard to ignore his parents and persisted with my exercises....but eventually this challenge wills I did not win....
I needed to end my session quickly and quietly.....with intense pain within my jaw,chest and shoulder I retreated back home for some medication.

I tried this whole relaxing....watching tv thing....eventually I went of to the quiet and listened to my relaxation CD.I love the beach one as it's my favorite Place in the world......

So I complete my session although I'm feeling somewhat relaxed this pain is still charging at my being....full steam ahead....I feel at a loss....The the above picture....so small...frail....weak....and feel so insignificant to the power of what's overcoming me....


I let my poor hubby know it's getting a bit much as I grab for the nasty pain meds...only second time I've ever had them at home...with all my will I am trying not to go back to hospital...

I'm stretched out...All cosy and warm on the couch....with family members wondering what will occur next....you can allways see the sorrow in the depth of their eyes....

I figure I will end their relentless anxiety  and tuck myself into bed....at least then I'm not so in their face....

I again grab for a different relaxation CD and absorb it all as best as I can....
I  open my eyes..... and....Today is Saturday.....
I've just had the best sleep in weeks and my unwanted visitor has even left.

I'm feeling so much brighter...I decide I need to get some of the positive vibes going again....I think they were misplaced this past week...

I will surround my self with the things I love..

And the people I love....
I head out....All rugged up...
The wind is so icy...and I complete my ten minute walk...AM only up to five each way with my pacing..


The wind was like ice blowing so strongly against me....it was a challenge to get back up the hill...
Muscles were becoming fatigue....

I got back home and felt pleased with myself....a sense of achievement....hadn't felt that for a few weeks...this process of rehabilitation is so challenging and slow...

I need to also now endevour to do my ball and gym stretching and exercise.....AM conscious to go extra slow now.....In hope it will prevent another flare....

Hubby offers to take me out to add to the excitment of my day....we have been going on coffee dates of late....very cute after fifteen years of marriage....He made this decision while I was in hospital having my treatment....a nice way to assist with our quality of life with all the medical stuff we'd recently endured.....for the past few years.....

I of coarse had my traditional Chai ....yum yum is so my favorite...and spending some time together was really nice....

So I have now finished my set of stretching  and ball exercises...
Yah.....I'm so far feeling like this Saturday is going so well......and its nearly tea time......I feel the best I have for weeks.....

I still have muscle pain but nothing at  all to complain about.....

I'm even going to give myself some flowers....because I feel like I have actually achieved something...
