Damned FMS
Grrr.... Having a damned flare up. Seems like I've been fighting one for a couple of months. Just when I would start getting rested after an event that got my body overworked, (like driving that truck around), another event would occur, (the tattoo show), and just when I was nearly recovered from that, G went in hospital. I'm sure it could have been worse. Like if I'd have had to drive back and forth from home instead of staying at Brad's. Still, 4 days without enough sleep; climbing in and out of F's little Celica (sooooo looowww!!!), and going without my psych and sleep meds really put me on the verge. Then I pushed myself over the edge by eating one of my allergy foods. I totally forgot!!
I've gotten pretty good about staying away from them most of the time, or only having a few chips when we go out for mexican, so I can have a little cheese. But I made pork chops and stuffing and frozen corn and like an idiot I ate the corn. Boom. Next morning not only was I wheezing and snuffling, but my lymphs were swollen like golfballs (literally. I am not exaggerating. The glands under my arms were the size of golfballs...or eggs).
Then I worked on Brad for a couple of hours and my wrists were aflame like they used to get. I had to tap out after 3 hours.
Of couse, at first all I could do was whine to myself about how I hurt and didn't want to feel like this, but then I managed to get into gratitude about how long it's been since I've had a flare up. All I had to do was remember that for 2 years I felt like this (and worse) every single day! So it's been rest, rest, sleep and more rest for Thorne. I haven't been on the computer or online with my wrists hurting so much, so I'm a bit behind everywhere. I'm starting here at my journals and then I'll try little by little to catch up everywhere.
Brad got my website done and up - the angel. If you're reading this, please stop by and check it out. I'm so excited. Please stop in and sign the guestbook, or put yourself on my map so I'll know you've stopped by (and so those features don't look so empty and lame!!! Please!!) And check out "Thornezene". LOL. We still need to add lots of pics and such, and I have lots of writing to do for the FAQs and Aftercare and About me, but all the links work and I think it looks pretty darned good!!
Yesterday I worked for about 6 hours, and cleaned house (had to-for the surprise client), so today is another mostly bed day for me so I can get this F/U under control. I'm going to stop by Clipmarks, My Yahoo, LJ, Bravenet, and 43 Things if I can and start trying to get a bit caught up. Sorry everyone I haven't been around. I hope you all understand.
