Giddy-Up

...Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared now
dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget Enjoy the Ride.

I'm also so grateful for how much of my work is on Wishlists, too.:love::heart:


On a Personal NOTE:


:new:
UPDATE: The severe pain just under as well as above and below collar bone area on the right side of my body is not as intense as it was. I can breathe deeper, too, before that really sharp pain catches me. The ribs don't seem to hurt as much either.

Some of the pain DID however move further up the shoulder and along the shoulder muscle up into the right side of my neck into the back of my ear. This part has felt truly muscular, whereas I'm not sure all of the previous symptoms were muscular. Too different. I've been working a lot on this though.

If everything I had previously described does recur with the kind of intensity I was experiencing for over a week, I will go to my doctor. I just... well, let's just say, I felt in too much pain to even go, but I will force myself if it should arise as such again.

I'd mentioned that I'm disabled secondarily with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Chronic Fibromyalgia- sometime I may mention the First thing. I'm new to using the term "disabled" -- but I became officially termed so by Neurologists at the end of 2007 and legally so, just over a year later January 2009.
