Fibro fog, pain, writing sandwiched in between. Quotes. Sermon notes. Encouragement.

A Texas Sunrise

Sunrise on Surfside Beach, Texas

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:

It's a New Day Open in new Window. (E)
My pain and welcome to it.

It's been a while since I posted an update about my breast cancer. Remember, during the first 6 months, the one medication that I took shrunk the tumor from the size of a plum to the size of a large grape. During the second 6 months, it didn't shrink, or if it did it was hardly noticeable with the naked eye.

Tomorrow I will finally meet with my surgeon to discuss what's next.

Surgery frightens me because I'm 73, have had a heart attack, have COPD, have been on oxygen since my heart attack 4 years ago, and my body doesn't like anesthesia. I have trouble waking up after being anesthetized. (Which I first found out when I had an emergency C-section in 1984. Since then, every time I've had anesthesia I have been under longer than they planned.)

Please keep me in your prayers.
