Each Day Already is a Challenge
A Texas Sunrise
 
A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge.
This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby.
Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog.
I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh.
For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

What a day. Again.
Had the car out for the first time since it snowed so much. My son had to dig out behind my tires. The roads may be clear, but it's been cold enough to keep the six inches of snow in the driveway and yard. And there were icicles hanging from my bumper to the ground.

Had a gasto doc appointment scheduled today, just as a follow up to see if the changed meds (from a month ago) were working better on my digestive system. It's hard to tell, though, since I had the virus and bronchitis, antibiotics and super-duper cough syrup. 
Doc was poking around my abdomin, as usual. It's usually my left side that is tender. Back in July, a CT scan and MRI showed that I had some inflammation, but they insisted that if I ate properly and took my meds that would go away. Today when the doc poked on my right side, I thought I would go through the roof. Talk about pain.
So...more blood was drawn today and I'll have another CT scan.
Doc says the burping I do after every meal and in between can be from all kinds of digestive problems or from any of the meds I take. Wonderful.
Guess it could be worse. It could be another kind of gas.
Either way, though, eating with anyone besides hubby is a bit embarrassing. A bit? Who am I kidding? Even Tiff looks at me as if I'm some kind of piggy.

Oh yeah, the subject line says my computer is back. It is! Yippee!!!
And our repair geek is priceless. Truly. I guess my virus scan did isolate the trojan it found. But after being infected my computer needed a defrag desparately. I guess that's why it still seemed like something was running in the background. The framgments were all over the place and if I had too many things going at once it was having to grab them from everywhere. (Can you tell I'm a real technical person??) Anyway, our computer fella charged us for only 30 minutes. Less than $35. Isn't he great???
Got the computer hooked up and my mouse wouldn't work. Now I have a brandy new optical mouse. Cool beans.
Bye for now...
