Happy Friday the 13th!

Friday the 13th.. Are you afraid? I'm not! I have the Lord and Savior watching over me!! Anyway-

I finally went to bed around 4am after taking 2 tizanidine to help with my pain. I started coughing and my throat, tonsils and glands were aching a lot. I felt like I'd been snoring, only I had not been asleep. When I got out of my recliner to go to bed, I started coughing a productive cough. I know this is TMI, but I don't like bringing stuff up. It's nasty, so I have no idea what I was bringing up... I just was. When I got to bed, I went ahead and used both inhalers because I felt wheezy. My SAO2 was, as predicted, 95%, but my CPAP felt like it was suffocating me. I put it on and coached myself through it because I really needed sleep. It didn't take long to fall asleep.

I woke up this morning at 1130am, only because the phone woke me up. I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I don't have a fever, but my body is hurting terribly. My intercostals in my back and my hips are so sore. My body feels like it's been lit on fire. This is how a bad fibro flare feels, and when they hit, they can last a while. The pain in my chest that was scaring me last night is now gone, so that's a good thing. My brain swirl is there- evident by the fact that I am having to correct pretty much everything I type. What I really should start doing is let my fingers do the walking when my brain isn't working, and let the blog speak for itself. :-) 

I was going through this blog in the wee hours last night and realized it looks gloomy. Most, if not all of this blog is negative. Trust me when I say, my life is NOT all gloom and doom. When you read this blog, you might think I'm in a bad place- I'm not. I am here to follow my walk with Long COVID. I have really good days- days when I enjoy life tremendously! I also have days when life just sucks- like the past few.. I don't ever remember to blog my great days, because I'm actually having fun!! It's my bad days when I say, OH! I better write that down. Make sense? So, when I'm playing with my grandkids, or I'm celebrating my Lord, or having dinner with my family- whatever it is that makes me happy- I'll do my best to blog those too. I think it's really important to remind you- but more importantly ME- that there are bright days too!
