I had MANY spoons today.

momof2,

Yes, stomp the life out of the bad days you're having!  As bad as you may feel, it will end and you'll have good days again. I'm glad you can keep laughing...
Hope we can try to keep your spirits up.

irish,
So, another getting lost story. I'm sure so many of us have them. Well, you had a pretty drive and I did, too, on my way to Tennessee. I'll have to watch it; if I drive another hour or so I'll be calling my doctor from Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.  LOL

My brother got lost driving from VA to SW Ohio to visit our Dad a while back. I thought it was funny, because I don't think he's ever been lost before. He was fine until he was 5 miles from Dad's retirement home. It's in a town, but just outside there is lots of farmland that goes forever. He told me it was dark, he was tired, his GPS lied to him, he saw cows in the road...so funny. He was a logistics officer in the Air Force for 20 years, so I'm surprised he even told me! He said, we grew up in Ohio; I thought I knew Ohio, but apparently not!

I like the man's saying that his job was to take care of himself to the best of his ability to keep on keeping on. That's certainly true for us.

Well.....    My good days have come to an end. Ughhhh... I'm so very sore. My neck and legs are killing me. It's hard to except this as my reality. I'm trying hard to hold onto those up lifting feelings I had just a few short days ago. Praying for some more in the near future. I guess I am just going to have to stomp the life out of these bad days. LOLOLOL I need to keep on laughing or I'll be crying.

I couldn't have said it any better myself... your post reflects my feelings now and for the last week or so since I've been in my flare.  Let's just believe that these bad days will come to an end soon and look forward to the good days ahead.  Take care of ourselves and be gentle and allow ourselves to heal.  HUGS to you.
