Those flowers do look like angels. They are so pretty.

I was able to be seen by a Dr. yesterday. She gave me a bunch of medicine and, while very weak, I'm doing better than I was by a bit. That's good.

I didn't give Belle her medicine and she hasn't coughed or spit up a single time.

Gus, the tree and swing picture is so lovely. I may try to draw it....

Had a root canal and my crown on the side filed down. My mouth set off a massive flare and even breathing feels like my body is in an upheaval.

Oh geez. I have to still go back for the permanent filling in the bridge where the root canal was done. I'm not doing so well.

I don't know who belle is.. but I am guessing a cute little baby!

awww babies are cute!. I love them. with all their little toes, and their little fingers, and they are so cuddly... sorry I had to!

still in pain today.

not as bad as yesterday, and i've not yet gone over

but feeling I might

(I find it gets worse as the day goes on)

little miss Belle is a Jack Russell terrier that was tossed away, and found her way to Jan's doorstep. she is young, in heat, needing spayed, and has many health problems, such as allergies (which is prolly why she was thrown away).

few of us on here talk about kids, since either we don't have any , or they are grown, or we just don't talk about them online. i'm glad you like babies, and glad you don't have to take care of one~! omg, they can be a job o' work~

[Gus1234U]

(pick one,, i couldn't ~! )

Quick hugs all- I'm being called for bedtime Meds. Muah!

reason I wanted to be a vet- to help poor animals in need

but I am glad she has you

yay

pretty painless weekend so far

yesterday had some horrible tingly sensations (and a bit of burning), but that subsided now and i'm feeling able to move around

Okay I saw a new Rheumatologist today for Fibro...... very nice guy which is huge for me. (I cant handle god complex in Docters)

Anyway .. He asked me about my scalp psoriasis since I am on Otezla. He thinks it very possible I have Psoriaitic arthritis... So blood work, dexascan and xrays. He said its possible to have both Fibro with or without PS..."provable" illness, Just so Doctors stop looking at me and hear Fibro and Bipolar and blow off anything I have said.

So yeah .. Im not really thrilled about this, Yet another thing wrong

I see him again in one month.

This is only tangentially related to fibro. Stress aggravates fibro, we all know that. I'm struggling with stress management lately. Got tossed a HUGE bomb today and trying to deal with it.

There is some new person working directly under my program's VP. The VP is known for calling people in his office, handing them a box to pack their things in as he tells them they are fired. We got an email from the new person Friday that she will be coming around to all the sites to "observe" us at work. What that is turning out to mean is that they are looking for people to give the heave-ho. On the plus side, my productivity is ahead of everyone in my program. Not sure how to weigh this, I'm the only person on staff who can do suicide risk assessments. That might be a plus or a minus in the VP's eyes. On the negative side, I've been with the agency for 13.5 years and make more than any of the other counselors. Since, I'm a licensed therapist I also provide more actual counseling than my co-workers who mostly focus on case management. Used to be longevity with a company was a plus. It seems the new management we have is working to force long time employees out the door.

I am trying very hard not to freak out over all of this, but am not doing so well tonight. I know worrying won't have any effect one way or another, but am still worried/freaked. I'm only three years from retirement. I sure as h e l l don't want to try and find a new job at this stage of my life. Folks, I sure could use some hugs.

Hugs, Liz, and good thoughts!!!!
