Art Is Life

I have a chronic illness that I was diagnosed with in 2012. It leaves me exhausted and in pain. But the one thing I still have is my artistic eye and my artistic ear. The way I experience the world is quite rare considering the things I have been through. I find solace in my pictures and my songs. They are my expression, and the part of me that can never be taken away by illness or pain. Art is life. It is the way I will always live on and what tells me I am still alive now.

RANT: Speaking For The Other Side

Wipeout

Last night I had another fall. It was a bad one. I was moving my "shoe" chair away from the balcony door and I tripped over it and landed backwards, bumping my head and scraping my back on the baseboard heater in the process. As I fell I yelled for Adam, even though he is unable to pick me up. I just needed him to come into the living room and reassure me that everything would be okay. Falling with fibromyalgia is a common thing. But when I do fall, I have trouble sending signals to my legs to move or do anything that is otherwise helpful. I finally got up with the aid of the couch and went to the bedroom to lie down.

I always feel a little silly when I fall because I cannot get myself up right away. If I am with strangers, they don't buy that I can't get up, especially if I happen to land spread eagle on the ground. Their advice to me seems to be "Just get up". Wow, that's helpful. I wish I'd thought of that myself.

Well, time for me to go back to bed and convalesce. Gee, I don't do that nearly enough in life. Stay metal.

THE BEST WORST MOVIE EVER!!!
