New start…

I have not been posting very often over the last few weeks due to my Fibro pain being so overwhelming.  I pretty much bottomed out last week and needed to do something to get the wild beast that is my pain back into some kind of cage.  So, I went to the doc and we made a small change to one of my meds and then Pam and I joined a spa to go swimming.  We have now been 4 times in 5 days and I cannot believe the difference.  The wild beast began to calm after the first visit.  After 4 it is back in its cage and I plan to throw away the key.  Not only is the pain back to a very manageable level I actually have energy to spare.  Swimming for about 45 minutes and that is not stopping after every length.  That is interspersing lengths with exercises.  Then it is the whirlpool for 10 minutes or so.  Amazing!  Last week things were so bleak that I just couldn’t see the end to this dip.  Now I’m on my way out of the dip heading for the top of the peak and I will do everything in my power to stay there.  I want to say that I would not have been able to do this alone.  Pam as ever is my coach, my support and my friend.  She never wavers, she is steadfast and that is what helps me get through the rough times.  It is back to work on Monday and I’m ready to go!
