Stepping Out in spite of Fibromyalgia
Well tonight Frank and I are steppin' out...to see comedian Ron White at a Phoenix theatre. It was my big Christmas gift to Frank. It seemed to take forever to get here and now here it is.
I had a stress meltdown Thurs. and ended up back in bed from 3pm -9pm. We needed some paperwork I couldn't find and then some other stuff came up and I just hit the edge when the paperwork was neatly folded on Frank's dresser when he'd assured/then sort of accused me of having the paperwork...so of course I hadn't looked at his dresser. I took my anti anxiety med and a muscle relaxor and went to BED. At 9 I was in more of my right mind and rejoined the family. I wonder if this scares Garrett. Frank has learned that if I get this way and go to bed it's much better than me being with the family feeling this way because I'll go off on one of them and that's not like me, but it happens when I hit the edge.
I'm already having anxiety about parking and the crowd as the event is downtown and a big hulla-baloo. And did I mention it's raining. We've had more rain this year....I think we're over the records. Trying to think of something appropriate to wear, dressy casual, and is it clean?
I'm sure we'll get there and the show will be fun. I just need to let go of the stress about the other stuff. I wish they had valet parking, that would make it so much easier on Frank and I, neither of us can go too far with our health issues (he had a stroke in 1999 and has left side weakness...tho he's only 43 now).
Oh well, back to bed for me, I'll take it easy today and then get geared up for the show.
BTW the Chiropractor/Holistic doctor I've been seeing since my hip got beyond excruciating, somewhere in Nov??, is still helping. I have a lower level of overall pain and some pain free time (a few hours) after treatment. I'm so grateful. And the psych changing up the meds &/or the C/H doc's treatments are improving my sleep some. So Grateful.
Hugs and Blessings, Judy
