Can't keep headache at bay...



...it came back last night about 1:30am my time. Woke up this morning without too much pain but feeling all brain damaged....had the shakes and seemed to be moving in slow motion. Called the chiropractor and massage therapist's office....I can get in to see the chiropractor tomorrow, but the massage lady is out until Tuesday. Went to water aerobics...everyone could tell that I was feeling out of it. My head kept spasming periodically, but I stayed with the class anyway. I was sooo sore all over from spending all day yesterday in bed that I knew I really needed the exercise.

I guess before work I'll try the tennis ball thing....I have to get that trigger point resolved somehow. I will be bringing Skelaxin, menthol patches and a rice sock to work with me just in case. I guess this is a classic example of how chronic myofascial pain and fibromyalgia feed off one another.

Pain level: 8
Fatigue level: 7

A Poem For Computer Users Over 50

A computer was something on TV,
From a science fiction show of note,
A window was something you hated to clean,
And ram was the father of a goat.

Meg was the name of my girlfriend,
And gig was a job for the night,
Now they all mean different things,
And that really mega bytes.

An application was for employment,
A program was a TV show,
A cursor used profanity,
A keyboard was a piano.

Memory was something that you lost with age,
A CD was a bank account,
And if you had a 3-inch floppy,
You hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage,
Not something you did to a file,
And if you unzipped anything in public,
You'd be in jail for a while.

Log on was adding wood to the fire,
Hard drive was a long trip on the road,
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived,
And a backup happened to your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife,
Paste you did with glue,
A web was a spider's home,
And a virus was the flu.

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper,
And the memory in my head.
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash,
But when it happens they wish they were dead.
