November 21st

My little toe is still swollen, bruised, and painful.  I am gonna wear the loosest shoes I can tomorrow and go to the store and get some athletic tape to tape that toe to the one next to it.  I have heard that helps.  I am also gonna be icing it.  If those two things don't help I may just go see my primary doc.  Hopefully I won't have to do that though.  I can definitely tell that I won't be able to wear my dress boots for Thanksgiving.  I have a pair of loose Crocs I have been wearing to let the dogs out and those aren't easy to wear.

There is something on my mind that I wanted to throw out there to those who may read this.  I was wondering if there are any people out there with Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma, or some other autoimmune condition that before that condition was diagnosed they were diagnosed with Fibromyalgia first.  I have heard different opinions on this, but I am really wondering if Fibro may be a hint that there is at least one autoimmune condition coming on the horizon.  I would really be interested to hear people's ideas on this.

Anyone else out there happen to be a Dancing With the Stars fan?  I must admit that I am.  I wish my body could do even half of what their bodies do.  When I was a little girl I thought it would be neat to be a dancer but I never pursued getting lessons.  There is still part of me that admires people who can dance. Btw I think all three of the finalists are terrific but part of me would really like Rikki or JR to win.

Well anyway it's time for me to head out.  Hopefully tomorrow I will be motivated to write more.  Take care. Catch ya later. <hugs> Cheryl
