As most of you know, I typically walk with a cane - a brightly coloured cane covered in butterflies. When I do, I am considered to have a visible disability.

Today
Today started out as a good day, despite the pain, which was manageable. We went downtown to do some shopping that my SO wanted done & I was keeping him company. So, we got what he needed and bought me a headset I could use. We then got dinner. Before heading home, I ...
Tooth extraction
I had my 2 upper wisdom teeth removed about 10 or so years ago by an oral surgeon in Oshawa. He used IV sedation and put me right out. These two teeth were removed about 1.5 yrs apart, but the procedure was the same. I came out of sedation & my Mom took ...
OnGoing Pain
I am currently in week 5... Or is it week 6? Either way, I've been in a solid flare for a while now. I've never been having as many problems on an ongoing basis for so long before. I'm hurting, & my balance is shot (more so than usual). My ...

I Hate My Body Today
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate my body?? If not, it's official. I hate my body & not even from the Fibro this time. Between the CFS screwing with my sleep schedule, the IBS helping the CFS out with it's erratic movements, and then adding my TMJ to ...
Surprise!
I was pleasantly surprised today. Today was one of those days where I needed a cane for support, or at least I felt I would before I got home. I went to the post office, then the grocery store next door. They didn't have what I wanted so I crossed the street & ...
Good Day
Today was a good day, physically speaking. Today was the Lacrosse Day of Champions for my step son's Lacrosse League. Rob coaches 2 teams & is the House League Director. My day started very early, so last night I was in bed before 9:30 - unheard of when I'm not crashed out. ...
