Hey all,
I been doing very well,all considered.
Being very steep,I started this tearing our back yard project.
I over planted and the grass died of lack of light,which don't bother me at all,but the rain just runs down toward the house and floods us out.
I am finding I really like digging. Isn't that funny? In fact all aspects of landscapeing are very enjoyable.
Plans for rebuilding the pond are progressing too.

As you know I've lost a lot of weight,now the sagging skin is starting to tighten up and my body is getting tone.

I have to announce that my two year flair is officicaly over! :biggrin:
In fact I think my fatigue is...has let up considerably. Or maybe gone compleatly!

I hurt pretty badly,not the typical body growth pain either, but the morph and pot are doing a good job on that.

I figure,if the fatigue is gone Gods going to expect me to move sometime,and I believe this IS Gods work. Sure makes me feel good!

I know its bound to come back but I'm living life to the fullest while I can.

I work with the Holy Spirit!
How exciting is that! :yikes: :biggrin:

Feels great when you can get moving some again.  Just take care and don't try to kill the whole thing at once or you will be right back in another flair.

Congrats. It is amazing how small our world gets when the pain is bad. Having some relief, our horizons get so much larger.  :biggrin:


denny

Thanks! :biggrin:

The question is: is it possible to NOT over-do after doing nothing for two years?

I thought I was down for the count. ya know? It gonna be this way for the rest of my life and was adapting accordingly.
So now I have to readjust. Its crazy...and I love it! :biggrin:

I guess it's a matter of readjusting upwards VERY slowly.  :biggrin:   :blue thumbs up:

Yes.....overdoing it is the new normal.  I think just trying to survive was doing me in for years.  :emobadmod:

Now, I can pace myself.  Progress is so slow and it is just tough to tell how much I can do.  But at least I can still try.  :biggrin:

Today I found myself looking real hard at how big a job is instead of just doing it like I had been doing.
All ready I'm slowing down.
I think its time to take a day or two off.
Rest up a little.
It won't last,but...I DONT WANT IT TO GO AWAY! :an cry bukets: damn pesky illness! :emorant:

My work energy quickly depleted too.  Went from mowing half on Saturday, the other half Monday, one hour per day on cutting brush and trimming the next three days, to this week of mowing 2/3 of the yard on Monday, then nothing else.

Took wife 70 miles each way yesterday to a specialist visit.  I slept in the car for an hour while she was there, went to sleep in the recliner while watching TV last night.  Went back to sleep there a little later for appx 5 hours.  Came to bed and slept another 4 hours today.

Hmmm... is this a phenomenon or something??? (thank you spellcheck... not sure how it figured out what I was trying to spell!!)  In any case, is there something in the air or something?  Jo has been really worried in the last few days as I've been getting worse and worse as each day passes for almost a week now... AND I'm getting really hard to be around as I'm constantly moody and I didn't used to be.  Please excuse me while I sob in my cereal...  from what I can make out, my energy left and more pain entered.  Right now, I'm a bit of a sorry excuse for a sorry excuse.  :biggrin:  :emolaugh:

S'ok... we all go through these flares.  Seems everyone forgets how nasty life can be with a chronic pain in the... hey, did I tell you our truck is back in the shop with a busted water pump and is due in the shop Tuesday next week to have the A/C repaired.   NO idea where the money for that is coming from but we're just living by faith one day at a time.  God is in control.  Good thing I don't have to worry or I'd have an ulcer the size of Kansas. ;) :biggrin:

Well my energetic and busted up brothers, best I can say is rest and recoup 'cause better days are coming just around the next corner.  :bighug:

Add me to the extra tired group.  Fall asleep sitting on the couch, get up go to bed, get up early then gotta have a nap until about 9 AM.  Sure I've been working on a room taking off the paneling and repairing drywall beneath it butt it's slow work when I can only get a couple hours in before the pain puts me outta the game for the day.  Progress is SLOW as a snail!

Just draging myself,but still,amazingly motivated :biggrin:
I got a whole lot done,between many breaks of just feeling exhausted I guess,kinda woozy,weird.

A while back I moved most my plants in toward the house for lower mantaince,energy loss,so on.
Now,with a new resident on board,he's got me moving everything out again.
Right now it seems like a good idea,but if the fatigue comes back full force,as it had been,I'm doomed! :emocrazy:

PS-drywall is much more difficult! :biggrin:

After this happened it made me realize that my fatigue is real and devastating.I'm NOT just being lazy.
Seeing that the fire is still in me,just not being stoked for some reason,was a relief in a big way.
Now that things are back to"normal" its easy to see that I AM sick. This is NOT my imagenation.
A blessing really.

This had been a weight on my shooter's I could not shake and the Lord would not take(seemingly).
Its good to have it off.
Now getting anyone else to see it will be impossible but still,a blessing.

Be WACB everybody! :biggrin:

It is most definitely a real sickness. I can tell you horror stories. Hold in there it does get better.

That's very cool denny!  There really is something in our heads that just doesn't want to accept that this isn't something our subconscious is just doing to allow us to be "lazy".  It's one of the nastiest head games that I play on myself... "Oh you can do this, you're just lazy and don't want to do it", or "Wow, a GOOD dad would have done this... what's wrong with you, get out there and do it you lazy sack of..."  and on and on.  My head is really good at beating me black and blue on the inside.  My wife is really good at talking me out of my head.  Praise God for wise and loving wives!!!!!!!!

No worries denny... ignore those stupid thoughts your head throws at you and just know that you're a superman just for hanging in there and doing what you can.  :budy:
