Sunday, April 8 EASTER
First, priorities must be straight... Thank God it is Easter. Went to Sunrise Service at Church and it is so great to see the stained glass go from dark to light as the sun rises and begins to shine thru....AHHHHH!
Now, pain still at 8 and nothing helps the pain. But you folks know how that goes. Morons who don't deal with this constant pain think a "pill" or whatever makes it "all better". ROFLOL NOT! Anyway, really can't go back to ER if at all possible to avoid as I will be "red flagged" as a druggie looking for a "fix" to get "high". Sad but true so one must always determine how severe the pain is, can one suffer thru, or does one take the risk of being "red flagged" and screwed for life as being labeled. We only have 1 hospital in the area so......
ANYWAY, I am joy filled, and if someone wonders joy is NOT the same as happy. ROFLOL I am always full of joy but happy can come and go. Also I have great peace which is always whether the pain is thru the roof or not. Joy & peace are not affected by outside forces, thank God. ROFLOL
Hugs and hugs and CHOCOLATE BUNNIES to all my dear dear peeps! I wish you all the best and pain free everything!

Bless you I am cooking for the family today and had to stop and take a pain pill, I understand what you mean about being red flagged, it is so hard to suffer in silence and something needs to be done to make doctors understand us! I wish someone would wge a nation wide campaign to get the word out and make people understand us.
I have to go and shower my mom and get her cleaned up and then get a shower myself and maintain cooking and getting the house straigtened up I have to run the vacuum(Ouch) because my nieces baby will be here crawling around on the floor, she is so beautiful and she dances when she hears music, she will be a year old in July and she is the joy of the family, My niece named her Riley which is my mom\'s maiden name and that is very special her middle name is nicole which is my daughters middle name so we all just love her to pieces.
Well enough babbling I got get busy everyone have a good day and don\'t eat to much.
Would it not be better to have pain meds on hand just for those times its 8 or over than have to risk attitude at the Hosp. I\'m on time release around the clock and have only needed it increased twice in 18 years!! Then I have something dif for breakthru, used sparingly I\'ve never built a tolerance to it. Its increases and tolerance so many fear, but with dilligent self monitoring both can be avoided. Trips to ER can be saved for non fibro issues. They still look at me like a druggie when I hand over myeverready synopsis of meds and history.But hey that\'s their problem!
