I have been dealing with an awful lot...new DR's, tests, limbo while waiting for results.
Haven't had a lot of good news or any news really...except my CT scan showed no mases or tumor activity! The saga continues...
How about the rest of you? The same?

The house is off stilts and back on a foundation. Now comes the clean up. What a mess. Think I will take it a little at a time. Cannot do it any other way.
A low front came through last night with a drizzle of rain. My feet are killing me! Limping around everywhere. And very tired for some reason. All I want to do is sleep. Hope I can catch up before going back to work on Monday. Lymph glands are down more than usual, so I dont get it. Sometimes I think my symptoms have more in common with RA than anything, then sometimes fibro. Guess that is why it is mixed!

Dallas, that is one cute puppy! Z and I had a long walk and playtime today, he plays with me like I'm a dog. Well, I was acting kind of doglike. Wish you were feeling better.
I'm fine, I guess. Leg is bugging me and my eyes are gritty sandy headachy, but I'm staying off pain meds today-- but I better stop looking at the computer!
Feel better, everyone...

I haven't been posting at all because I haven't been feeling very positive so I haven't wanted to post. I don't want to bring anyone down w/all my whining. Things are hopefully looking up now, so I will try to do better. Plus with the girls in school now, so much busier than I was, so just like Christine (geterdone)I don't have a lot of me time. Just trying to get through life.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
