@HeidiJeanLK I'm a military brat. Thank you for your son's service! His sacrifice is not forgotten and held in high esteem in my family!

@AmiEverAfter I'm sorry to hear. Yeah that motto sticks harder the older you get. You do learn to deal with it better. I think it's surgery fatigue and ADHD together. And maybe you might be thinking about something else too hard. You're not alone

@OneNerdyOpinion Awesome, will watch for it! Thanks for the update!

Yes, that little dwarf can be quite persistent at times. I'm recovering from his activities last week. Things are a little better but I think he's sneaking some swings.

My little dwarf with a pick axe has been very active this week. He is causing a lot more widespread pain that usual.

Animals know. Sometimes you need a hug.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Perhaps the cutest thing I've ever seen in Western North Carolina...

A little baby bear running across the street to her momma gets the SWEETEST hug.

Absolutely heart melting stuff!!! ❤️

@ThePOTSPostman As someone with a chronic illness, I immediately understood what you were saying. I grieved my old life for a long time after I was diagnosed. Today there are still parts that are still grieved. I understand what you mean.

@OneNerdyOpinion Have ever tried a mixture of tuna mixed with mayo and then layered on top of cheese in your sandwich? It's very good!

@OneNerdyOpinion My "sweet" girl takes 98.9% of the bed. She weighs 10 pounds. I get a sliver of the bed every night lol.

@DiaryofaSickGrl My Chihuahua is too!

@ThePOTSPostman When I get there, I am no longer to fight or push through it. I "hole up" in my bed with as many supplies as I can gather before I am totally flattened. Sometimes it's just a bottle of water. Rough. Glad it is not every day.

[Alice Knows Chronic @SmallTownBusy]

@OneNerdyOpinion You have 2 great nurses there with you. Wishing you many get well quick wishes. It is a Man Cold. All sympathies need to be given for quick recovery!

@ThePOTSPostman The line that we cross that goes into the too much territory is very fine. Often I cross it and then it's too late. I want to finish as much as I can and think I know when to stop. Just wish there was a blinking red light that said "stop", danger of overload. I would stop.

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

Something people don’t understand about chronic illness:

Symptoms rarely show up one at a time.

It’s fatigue
plus dizziness
plus brain fog
plus pain
plus a dozen other things.

Individually you might manage them.

Together they can take you down.
