I'm preparing to go get my next round of spinal injections. I'll be down for a couple days at least.

Belle is not feeling well. It's my fault.

[BlueEyedMama]

I woke suddenly with a very sore chest. I feels like pleuresy (sp) but it's been awhile since I've had a flare up of that so I am not 100 Percent sure. Very uncomfortable. Trying to not get my anxiety levels up and also trying to not wake my husband which is hard since we are in a hotel. He starts his new job in the morning so he needs his sleep.

[BlueEyedMama]

I hope that both you and Belle feel better soon hon. ~gentle hugs~

[cakeladie]

Good luck Jan.

[January]

For the first time, I got sick during and after the shots. They had to keep me for a little while. I'm very bruised and swollen. It could be so much worse though. I've got to use ice packs often. Thank you for the good wishes.

Belle is doing better today. She is back to her old self. I have opened the curtains and she is laying in the sunshine and really enjoying it.

Love to all.

Let us know how you're doing, ok?? That doesn't sound like something to ignore.

"there are cracks, there are cracks in everything; that's how the light gets in,, that's how the light gets in...." (leonard cohen)

my heart goes out to you, Jan... and each of you who suffer so much from everyday life

i seem to have lost a couple of days, mostly to sleep, i hope. my cousin who gave me so much joy to be helping, has forgotten me, it seems....

sending good thoughts for your transition, Blue~!

Well I finely slept past 2 am but barley. Apparently sunny the cat was meowing and woke up hubby who then woke me up it was 2:43 am. I don't think it's to much to ask to let me sleep till 4 am when he gets up for work. He knows how I haven't been sleeping.

Anyway tonight will be a long night. My daughter's friend went missing in 2012 on her way to school. They have never found her body. They have had someone in custody this whole time. He had the nerve to tell his mom to take care of his daughter.

Her DNA and her hair were found in his car. His attorney claims that she just ran away. They found her clothes that she was wearing that day with his DNA and her phone. His attorney claims she ran away because she did not like the area they moved to. What teenager would? At 15 you loose all your friends and your school.

Anyway th jury is back it will be announced tomorrow at 9 am

I won't be able to sleep tonight and neither will her parents.

I know this is not fibro related and thanks for letting me vent

[January]

Cake, please go to the Dr. before you get even worse. This does not sound good. Remember, we all love you and want you to feel as good as possible.

I think you should tell hubby off about waking you up. Grrrr.

I cannot begin to imagine the pain that girl's family has gone through and I hope things happen in the least upsetting way possible for them and for you.

Cake, I post about non-fibro related things in here all the time because all of you are my family. It's all right.

Gus, I'm so upset that your cousin has forgotten you. I wish I was there to give you a big hug and spend time with you.


I have been doing little tasks and then putting ice on my back all day and evening. Thank you for caring and the ecouragement, Gus. I have to keep fighting. The other choice isn't so hot.

For the first time ever, Belle smells a little like a dog instead of just a sweet puppy tonight. I find it kind of scary.

Thanks for checking in hon. It really feels like pleurisy which happens from time to time with lupus. I see my doc on Thursday and Hubby said if my symptoms get worse before then he will take me to urgent care. Thank you for caring hon and I sure do hope that you have been feeling better these past few days. I have been thinking about you.

[January]

Oh my gosh Mama, I yelled at poor Cake when I was trying to fuss at you to please go to the Dr! I'm so sorry! I do hope you go to the Dr. and I'm really glad that your hubby is behind you on this. You take good care of yourself and know that you are loved!

[January]

Lots and lots of pain today. I managed to get some paperwork done, but nothing physical. I even called the PT asking for help, but she told me she'd work with me tomorrow and to hang in there. I'm wearing my brace. It will be time to take it off soon. Belle escaped today. I couldn't move fast enough to shut the door in time. Some very kind men caught her for me. She was quite pleased with herself that she had a little foray!

So the verdict is back guilty on all charges the judge gave the jury a week off then they will start the penalty phase

I hope they lift the corner of the jail and drop it on him. Maybe his attorney too!

[lizardlady]

REALLY bad day today. Woke up exhausted and in pain. It's one of those days when I just want to roll in a ball and cry.

I am too worn out to reply to everyone tonight. I tried to thank and/or hug everyone. Sorry if I missed anyone.

[January]

Liz, I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. I wish there was someway I could help you.

Cake, I agree with Liz on what the jury should do to both the lawyer and the defendant.

I hope you all have a peaceful, restful night.

[BlueEyedMama]

Woke up in pain again this morning, not just from pleurisy but my joint pain is through the roof. I feel as if I can feel every bone in my body. Today is going to be a long day as we check out of hotel and I have to sit in the loby for 6 hours while hubby works and then we have a 2 hour ride home. I see my doc tomorrow morning as well as get my weekly iron infusion so I should feel a little better after that.

Jan, thank you for fussin at me darlin' and I promise to keep my Doc appointment tomorrow. I do feel loved and I thank you. I love you guys too. I hope that you feel better soon.

I am thinking of you all and sending healing vibes your way. ~Gentle hugs all around.~

[cakeladie]

Gentle hugs to everyone

It's weird I am very exhausted and our weather needs to make up its mind is it winter summer or spring. One day it's 40 degrees the next day it's 90 degrees. Wth my allergies don't know what to do and neither does my body.

I have never followed a trial like this. This verdict has been a long time coming 5 years it took to get to trial then the trial took 4 months without a body. Now the jury has to decide if he goes to deal the row or life in prison. He's a young guy who has not been in trouble with the law before plus they brought up today that his father who is now in prison mistreated him has a child.

But he was not only convicted yesterday of Sierras kidnapping and murder but also the attempted kidnapping of 3 other women.

So I grew up catholic and I am very conflicted. We were taught not to kill and putting someone to death is killing but on the other hand the Bible does say an eye for an eye and then you have me has a mom. Who has held this girl in my arms. Killing him will not bring her back. Also it's been 20+ years since California has put anyone to death. We currently have close to 800 people on death row. I am all for giving him life if he tells us where she is. That way we can bring her home.

But on a positive note and a good note I slept past 3 am today. Yeah for me.

Take care all

[lizardlady]

Another rotten day ahead. Woke up exhausted and in pain.

[cakeladie]

I am so sorry Liz
