Embers....

My pain is an inferno, flames that burn brightly bud no matter how intense they never fade... The pain is so like a flame, it is a beautiful yet horrible thing it consumes everything it touches, leaving only a burnt out husk.... Something that is a dark twisted shell of what I used to be.... And when I think the flames are out then I realize they are embers.... Waiting for that one gulp of air to ignite again...to flare and hurt me again.....


Welcome to the inferno baby.....

Kris,

I can so totally relate....I pushed myself waaaay too hard yesterday and have been suffering since about 5pm. It STILL hasn't calmed down, so I would have to say my pain is an "inferno" right now and I am just waiting for it to burn itself out.....until it becomes an "ember" again.

Anyone have some water? lol

Hope you get to feeling better Kris. Believe me, I know what a struggle it is.

Gentle Hugs,

Carrie

Yes, Kris, I have that fire in my low back, the embers have been there for eons and I love Serenity's image of the phoenix.

Let the phoenix rise and be free!!!!!

Perhaps with many decades of experience I have learned to recognize the signs that I am setting myself up for this sort of pain TOMORROW.
Perhaps, I have become more lazy than you!!! MORE LIKELY the real truth!!

Anyway, I would suggest reviewing the previous day to see if there were signs that would have helped you know when to stop working and take a rest so you don't set up for this much pain.

It is a PITA (Pain In The A**) to have to stop and rest while you work but it might help. I get more done with periods of rest.

I still work so hard I end up tossing my cookies and feeling like you. But I am getting better at it.
