Morning Nana B...and FMily....MiMi in NC where it will be a bit cooler for a couple of days...in the high 80*....DH is off for a few days and he and our younger son will be putting together a playground gym set for Noah...someone was moving and they got a deal on it last fall...but it has been in the yard...so they sorted it yesterday...lots of parts...but some of it is already together..so that is definitely a plus...as they had to take it apart to move it...a few new pieces are needed for the platform...I am sure when it is done...Noah will enjoy it and so will Alec...for years to come.

Here is hoping each of you had a good night rest..and I hope today will be a good day for all of us...we are at the end of another month gone by...with August right before us..and school opening getting closer.

I did rest good last night but woke up sick this morning...not a good thing at all. I hope this gets better soon.

I have noticed that this pain is now beginning to go down to my right leg...so I guess it is definitely my spine and disc...not a good thing for me.

Nana B...remember to pace, pace and pace some more...I am sure you will have things ready for this big event. I do hope the weather will be good for your son's wedding..maybe cool but definitely no rain...sending thoughts to you this week...

Welcome to the new members who have joined our unique FM support group...I am sure each of you will soon find something that will help you cope better..

Have a good Monday....July 30...



MiMi

Good Monday NanB, MiMi and all to follow. I hope you all had a good weekend and that you will feel well. Wishing each of you a fibro issue and pain free day.

MiMi, sorry you woke up sick again this a.m. I had hoped that by this time you and your doctor's would have had a better, for sure of an idea of what it was that was making you feel so unwell and that you'd have had medication or treatment for it. I hope that you are treated for this illness soon.

NanB Whew you sound sooo busy. I know you have many things left to do, but hope you have so rest time in there was well. Glad you have your guest arrangements done and that you can move to other things. I have my fingers crossed for the weather there so you can get all those things done that you have on that short list now that the wedding is so close.

As for weather here not much different than that which is going on up north of us. Hot and muggy with chances for rain.

As for weekends our was really nice. Went up to Indiana early Saturday so we could watch the NASCAR race @ the Brickyard. It was the first ever NASCAR 400 series night race. Wasn't really night time tho. More like 4:30. I let my niece pick the side of the track and then the seats where we'd watch the race. Bad idea as she had never gone to the Brickyard before. So she picked seats that were on the pit side. No roof or shade. We were in the sun the whole time and the noise was unreal.

Next time we'll sit where we have before, on the other side, in the shade under the roof near the starting line and where we can see more sides of the track. But over all it was nice. We then headed to DNs home. Had bar b que for dinner and I got to see my sister and all of her grandchildren and great grand children. I also go a tour of DNs 13 acre property, 5 horses, 2 German shepherds, geese, ducks, cats and bunnies. She and her DH are finishing up the house, 5,500 sq feet, 3 levels. DN has turned into a very handy lady. She did the tile work and painting in the bathrooms and kitchen all by herself and boy is it well done.

By day's end, 10:30, I had a migraine ( too much noise, sun and a toothache, I think. ) so I went to bed in pain and dead tired. DH and I got up really early, 6 a.m. and headed back to TN. We made the trip back in a little over 5 hours and honestly I think it was all a bit too too fast and busy for me .. no real time to rest as we were on the go from the minute we got there. So today I'm going to catch up.

Sadly the one thing that I noticed all the way up and back from Indiana was the dry crops. Corn filed after corn field was effected by the long dry summer. Corn yellow at the bottom and some green on the top and all the corn seemed stunted and way to short for this time of their growing season. Sad.

Okay not much too talk about so will close this here and let each of you get on with your day. Feel well today..
Gentle hugs going out to each of you.

Good evening

STILL flaring...this makes 12 days I had PT this morning and felt ok when I left, but by lunchtime I was at a 9. DH was upset, too ("Going to physical therapy is supposed to make you feel better, and you're crying!"). I wasn't quite...but I was teary-eyed. I think I'll call the doctor's office tomorrow and see when I can get in. Something needs to change

I hope everyone who's not feeling well is better soon. It seems to be that if it's not the FM acting up, it's something else (that usually ends up causing the FM symptoms to act up).

~air hugs~ Hope you all sleep well tonight and feel better tomorrow
