Each Day Already is a Challenge
A Texas Sunrise
 
A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge.
This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby.
Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog.
I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh.
For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

I don't know who you are, but as I looked at my statistics for this blog I noticed that between 8 and 12 people view the page each and every day. Wow. I guess I'll have to look more closely to see how many of those views from inside the Writing.com community and how many are from outside.
So what's up with me?
I had my teeth all pulled in November of last year, due, they tell me, to both having fibromyalgia and the medications I take for all of my various maladies. By June I should have had my permanent dentures in place and looking like a million bucks. But that's not how things work for me. I'm still wearing the "intermediate" teeth which looked great when the were put in in November, but as they've been changed (adding linings and scraping linings away as my mouth changed over the months) they're now rather ugly.
So why haven't I gotten my fancy new permanent dentures? For one thing, my mouth still keeps swelling and that makes it almost impossible to fit something comfortably. And for another, the stress over my stupid mouth and dentures caused the cataracts that had been quietly lurking decided to go into full blast acceleration. Yeah.
And did I mention that I turned 60 in April. Yep. This young 60 year old has denture problems and now cataracts. Unbelievable....to me, anyway.
I had one eye operated on July 31 and the other should be on August 21. If all goes right, I'll end up with better vision than I've had for the past 50 years.
So keep those prayers coming, okay?

I'm praying for you. And I hope your cancer meds continue their success.
