Long Time No Write

Hey, y,all. I have been very, very tired the last month (that was my excuse for not writing for 36 days. There it goes...)

A. I am back in school. This could be a good or a bad thing, depending on how this week goes and point B, which I'm about to make.

B)I DO NOT HAVE ARTHRITIS. Not at the moment, anyway. It's gone poofka, bazaam, whee. It's gone. I can now move my fingers and everything.

As weird as this seems, I did have an MRI the past month. It revealed that the arthritis did some minor damage to the right side of my left wrist (bone got chewed apparently). I also have a partially torn ligament on the other side of the same wrist.

Oh, and because we didn't get to the arthritis pain in time, my brain went immune system overdrive psycho and now I have fibromyalgia. Like my mother. Like my mother's sister. Like my maternal grandmother.

Fibro, for those not in the know, is basically a pain syndrome. It doesn't apparently do any damage to anything, but it makes you TIRED. I'm getting a full night's sleep every night but if I push myself at the pace I used to go at, by the beginning of the afternoon I am wiped out.

I'm also in pain nearly 24-7. It's mostly back pain; feels most days like I've been run over by a semi (or a truck if I'm having a good day)

SO, let's list this out for all of you now, eh?

Tendonitis in my right rotator cuff.

Bursitis in my right hip (driving me insane)

Bad knees (right one's acting up, probably because of the hip)

Back ache all day

A slightly nibbled left wrist

A partially torn ligament in the same wrist, but on the opposite side (Lord knows how I did THAT to myself.)

And to top the banana cupcake with edible ball bearings, fibromyalgia!

C. Anna's now at River Falls, Sara's on the last year of high school (though she could get out early) and I'm hopefully on the last year before I get my bachelor's and go to Madison for my Master's in library science.

That's about it. I will try and write every day, but I'm still getting a handle on this damn thing and some weeknights lately I am too tired to even function, much less type.

Ta,
Bec
