Day Six

Fibro crisis is the first thing that we are taught to deal with and more important, how to avoid.  I certainly didn't avoid this one.  This you hit me head on and is taking everything that I have.  Over load of symptoms.  The last couple were just "mini crisis", and were over in just a couple of days.  This time, I've been down for six days so far, with very little improvement.  I am so sad.

I know one of the triggers is emotional upset, and with the homesick feelings on top of the deaths, it has been a hard week.  One of my old students broke trust, which is just amazing to me.  I think we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard, and this one is hard on me.  My daughter is ill and I can't get to, the kids are growing up without me and I love springtime in Madison.  I am very lucky to live in a town that plants so many flowers because every where I turn is something else getting ready to bloom and looking just wonderful.

Some days are easier than others, and I am slowly building back into a working schedule, but the rest of the routine has not at all begun to happen.  I got about 4 hours of work in today, split between knitting and two sewing projects. 

Again, the week is going slowly, but I am getting through most of the days with only one nap.  This is an improvement from the week end when I was only able to be up for two hours at a time.  The storm last night kept me awake for a while, and getting up early took a toll of sorts, so I didn't feel too bad about napping today, but three hours was much longer than I thought I would sleep.

The list, therefore, is not changing at all, or being added to.  We are hoping to be able to do the garage sale this week end, I am anxious to see how my energy holds under pressure to get things done.  Just hoping for a better day tomorrow.
