The last 2 weeks have been rather interesting...
I had my 6-monthly checkup with the rheumatologist (if you exclude the 3 times i went to see her in the last 6 months due to all the flare-ups). Not such a happy day. My fibro is still not back down to a maintenance regime for my meds... Damn... And we now trying something new for the fibro fog. It's been a week so it's too soon to see if the new meds will have an effect.
One good thing that she did say was that my back is not being caused by the fibro. So off I pickled to my house doctor who, in 1 week, arranged X-rays, MRI and an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. So that's where I'm off to this morning. Wish me luck!
But onto things less fibro...
The 4 weeks leave I took over December did wonders for my body & soul. Even with my brother's wedding and subsequent death 10 days later, I was amazed at how relaxed I felt when I went back to work, and still am, 2 weeks down the line. When we travel overseas on holiday we always take 4 weeks but staying local and relaxing does sooooo much more.
During my leave hubby, missy & I tried our hands at making a mosaic mural next to our jacuzzi. Have a look at the pics I've uploaded. I'm super proud of my family. I've always known that I relax when I have a ,oasis project I'm busy with, but this brought the therapy home for me. So take my advice, if you've had a super rotten day, try your hand at a hobby. It works!
