Everything hurts today. My glands all over are swollen and tender. I can't put my arms down easily without feeling pressure. Its hard to sit or stand or move. I have these days from time to time, I just wish I knew what precipitated them so I could avoid having them!

That being said, I pick my loosest clothing, avoiding anything that might bind, and head out the door to work. On the way I concentrate on the things I am thankful for. I am breathing well, I can put my own shoes on, I can see, I have my sense of taste and smell, my brain works just fine, I enjoy colors, I have a great job, I am not in excruciating pain, I do not have any yucky medical procedures scheduled for today, and my car is working!

That's a lot of blessings. Focus on them and just move slowly. Eventually the swellings will go down and you will feel better. At least your energy is not low! As the nurses often say, its a good day when you can sit upright and feed yourself.
