The above photo from Facebook perfectly describes my day yesterday. I Christmassed through some of the worst pain I’ve had since this situation with fibro and my back problems began. I think they were both working on me at once, because I hurt all over, from head to toe. But I got friend Greta’s cake delivered, picked up things needed at the grocery store, and did two loads of laundry, all the while crying, yelling, cussing, and screaming at animals. It was so bad that not only did I sleep late this morning after the pain had calmed down quite a bit, so did Skipper, who had had enough of my bad attitude.
The pain is better today, not gone of course. It’s never gone. But it’s way better, for which all the animals are grateful.
To make things easy on me, I decided to make hot dogs for supper and picked up the necessary supplies when I was at the grocery store. Unfortunately, when I got home, I discovered that the wieners had not made the trip. Either the check-out clerk failed to bag them or I lost them somewhere along the way. Not having the strength and gumption to go back and confront her, we just ordered a pizza when Jesse got home from work.
But all my gift orders have arrived from Amazon and other parts, my sofa will be here in two more days so that I can straighten up the mess, and the pain is at a manageable level right now. Makes me sort of afraid to move much, though, fearing that I’ll have a repeat of yesterday. But I have to finish one handmade gift, so I’m going to see how I do in the sewing room for an hour or so. Toodles.

I saw an article this week about using light as a pain therapy. Here's a link that sums it up pretty well, not the same one I saw: https://uanews.arizona.edu/story/treatment-pain-gets-green-light
Ya know a couple green light bulbs from amazon, might be worth a try. :) Ann

Love the photo you found but am so very sorry for the pain you continue to endure. Interesting article that Ann found and it may well be worth a try.
I hope and pray those treatments you're to have in January put an end to your pain.
Please take photos of your cherry red sofa once it's in place in your lovely living room.
5 of my Mannheim Steamroller CDs are on our 5 disc CD player and are on an endless loop. Lovely!
Big hugs!
