I have had some pain but it has been low enough most of the time that I can work to ignore it. I know I am lucky. When I get tired, which is easily & often, the pain gets to me more.
I have discovered that a heating pad at the middle of my back helps alleviate my pain a lot. Feels so good!
I have planned a Christmas meal that is really easy. I am spacing out the things that need to be done so I won't get overly tired. I made pies this morning.
I received a Christmas letter from a friend who has 5 kids. Not only are all the kids successful in every endeavor, but she was able to make a rhyming list of their activities, with each line starting with a letter from "M-E-R-R-Y C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S" -- Oh, and she works as a teacher of children who have autism. I think she may be a saint walking among us, really! So I couldn't help but compare to my life -- I barely got 10 Christmas cards sent out. My daughter was so sweet - she said, "But Mom, she's not having pain like YOU have every day." I couldn't believe it! Somebody has a clue. That was the best Christmas present ever.
