Fibro Challenges Online Support Group

I hope you are all rested, pain-free and ready for the weekend.

Karen- I do know your name. It was one of those moments when I had just talked to someone else and the name was stuck in my head. Yeah slow fibro brain!! Glad you had a break yesterday even though I know you didn't get done what you wanted

Missy- what you wrote was beautiful! though the story was sad. I hope your day is wonderful.

Christine- you are such a nut! Your husband sounds like a wonderful man. He deserves you because you are a wonderful person. He wouldn't have been given to you if it was meant to be any other way. I loved your zaniness yesterday. I love to hear you in good humor! I hope you have a safe, relaxing and wonderful trip.

Annelle- I will be thinking about your dad and keep him and you in my thoughts. He sounds like a tough guy and will get through this. Hopefully, it will mean he will be out of pain once he recovers.

Debi- It is the weekend so hopefully we will hear from you. Hope you are well and this week wasn't too tough.

Gratia- Glad you checked in so we know you're ok. Let us hear from you.

I slept a little better last night. Don't want to add yet another pill so waiting it out as long as I can. I already take something for sleep. Hands are hurting a bit this morning. My worst fibro symptom. I know when a flare's coming when my hands start hurting but this is probably just lack of good sleep. My daughter's here now (Yay!). Probably won't be on as much this weekend but I will check in. I think we are going to go to the movies and make pizza (gourmet). She and her boyfriend are wonderful cooks and they treat me to some good food when they're here.

Hope you all have a relaxing day and that it is all that you want it to be.

Love and Hugs to you All!!!!!!

I am doing ok and will be off to writing group in few.

Good morning everyone and wishing you the same. A really good day!

beating the heck out of these keys to get anything written and i'ts wearing me out grrrrrr

Here's the text if I type normally and don't fix it. I loe you al nd pe t ee oall laer.

Thank you so much for starting our group off this morning. You are so so sweet, and it is a lovely way to start the day. I hope you don't go into a major flare. You mentioned that your hands usually hurt before a flare, so I hope that will not happen this time. I am so happy for you that your daughter and her boyfriend are there with you. Mmmmm..gourmet pizza that sounds like just what the doctor ordered for me!! Jim (hubs) is a very picky eater (no wonder he is so thin) and won't eat pizza, or much of anything, all he will eat for breakfast is bacon, cereal and toast. Those are the ONLY breakfast foods he wil eat, oh, and coffee with three sugar packets, and a few drops of cream. I do love him so very much, he is so wonderful to me.

Karen~I hope you have a low pain, enjoyable day. I think I would like to go to a writing group of sorts. Exactly what do you do at writing group? If it is what I think it might be, I would need a beginners class. For sure. LOL, or I would cry cause my brain is so foggy and I bet lots of my writing looks like the writing you showed us at the end of your post.

I missed some of the other things Susan wrote about, but I would like to say a couple of things.

Gratia~When you wanted to chat the other day, my friend was here helping me figure out some things on computer. We have to do more work, it probably won't be today, but we are having dinner with her and her husband, so we may finish things later. I hope that you are feeling better each day. We are leaving for vacation tomorrow, Jim doesn't want me to take my computer, but I feel I might feel out of touch if I don't take it. I would like to check in on here every day, but he said, I'll be on it all the time, so we'll see.

Missy~I didn't see the story you wrote that Susan mentioned, but if I get a chance I am going to look for it. Anyone know what title it is under?? Would appreciate any help finding it.

Anelle~Don'r remember hearing anything about your dad recently, but whatever is happening with him right now, I want you to know that I will keep him and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers.

Debi~Looking forward to see you here on the weekend, if I take the computer on vacation, I will definitely check in once a day. Times of day will vary greatly if my hubby lets me take it out of the house.

Well, I am doing fairly well today. Was totally exhausted all morning and very nauseated, compazine to the rescue for that.

If I take my computer, I will see all of you when I can get a chance, and if not, I will talk to you again in 12 days. Just toiletries to pack, and hair gels, all those necessities.

Much love, prayers and gentle hugs~

Christine

It's now the afternoon & I'm on my way to lay down before the rest of my day starts. I can't get on here in the AM anymore due to the computer at work.

I am doing fairly ok, however am getting to bed early & still not feeling rested. I don't know why that is.

I'm with Christine-- I don't remember seeing anything about Annelle's dad, but know that he and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I wish I could be on here more. I miss connecting with my Fibro Family.

Hope everyone is doing well today!

Christine--- almost forgot--- have a WONDERFUL vacation! I hope you are able to take your computer....

love & hugs,

~gratia~

but, you guys, it's not , it's inspirational. the butterfly needed to struggle in order for it to form correctly and become what it's suppose to be!!!! that's !!!!! just like the things that people go through are what ultimately makes them who they are!!!

hey sissy k ~ that's funny but not how your computer types. can figure out what you're talking about when you say they stick. the physical keys? or does it stutter on the screen. i know you have a different kind of set up there but i'm such a dino-tech or technosaurus, if you will!

silly silly chrissy ~ ha, silly silly chrissy just reminded of the chrissy character that suzanne sommers played on "three's company"! anybody remember that? have a wonderful time on vacation and i want to hear all about it. are you going to see some shows???? that would be fun!

hi gratia ~ just be here when you can and we'll be waiting for you my dear!

i'm off again to test a latex mattress. have been researching them and "talking" to a guy online about putting together the different layers and what would be best for my muscle disorder.

my eldest, S, will be here just for tonight. he had meetings in-state this week so will be coming here before returning to arkansas. he's hoping his stint there will be over by september and that he can be back in illinois then. anyway, i'm happy to be able to see him just for a little.

hope everyone has a wonderful beautiful low pain kind of day!

hugs and love to all.....................

I hope you will discuss it with your drs. and see if they can help you fgure it out.

Sis Chris, I hope you can take your laptop, but I also hope that Jim rations it so you can spend your time enjoying your fun vacation with him. We would miss you like mad, but would be happy at the same time knowing you aren't wearing yurself out worrying about everyone else. Vacation time is a time to rest and rejuvinate in order to carry on. Love you my dear sweet friend and don't know what we'd do without your humor and caring. So get some enjoyable downtime and then get thee back to us with lots of stories about your adventures!

Missy, it is not my actual keys that stick. They work fine most places but here and in the FB chat boxes it's like the letters don't work with each press of the keys. Very weird but nothing is ever "normal" about my pc. LOL Have fun visiting with S !!

I am off to beddy bye now so sweet dreams to you all, you dears you. <3

The butterfly story was both said and brought intriguing thought to my mind. It's foggy now, so who knows if that's what I really think.

Anelle~I am so sorry to hear about your dad and I hope he recovers a little bit each passing day. He does sound like a very strong man, and I am confident that he will recover quickly from this. Am so thankful they got that rod out of him. That must have been pretty scary when he was going through all that with the infection. Bless his heart. Please be assured that he and the entire family will me in my thoughts and prayers.

Well, we have decided to take the computer on the trip with us, but I am not allowed per my hubby, lots and lots of time on it. He wants to spend some quality time away with me Isn't he sweet?? I hope I have good days, and I am able to be a less needy person while I am there. With having to eat out all the time, there will be no food to cook, just sitting in the restaurant with things to talk about, and yes we will be seeing some shows while we are there. I'm pretty excited about all of it. Has anyone here been, and if so, any recommendations???

Much love, prayers and gentle hugs to all of you, I will be thinking about all of you and keep you in my prayers, and please keep us in yours for safe travel if you don't mind.

Chrissy

Missy, that was funny about Chrissy on the tv showe with John Ritter. I could be called ditzy like her, with all of my fogs and frontal brain problems. But don't call me ditzy, just call me Chrissy. xoxoxoxoxo
