Sunday
I am working today so I don't think of today as Sunday. I will have a day off first on Tuesday. Now I get a day off every now and than, rarely.
I've been hiring people, so back to training them and hoping for quick learning on their side. ;-)
For the past few months, I have been having pain in my hands, fingers, wrists, legs, feet etc. It is so bad sometimes that I can't even pick up my big coffee cup in the morning, and do normal stuff at work. I have been wrapping my hands and legs in warm blankets, which is so far the only thing that somehow works. I didn't have time to go and check that, but finally went to the doctor. They took tests and all that, and it turned out that I have chronic Arthralgia (or Arthralgius?)
My doctor gave me some strong pain killers, and told me not to work in retail, but that's it. I will have to find time to go to a specialist and see what else I can do help myself, exercise and other stuff.
Ok, I have no more news, just the same stuff everyday. :-) I have to start getting ready for work.

When I first heard of your diagnosis I was sad, but also happy that you finally know what it is. You've had this "boney pain" your whole life. We'll all stand behind you as you fight to beat this thing. Love you. Mom
Hello Kellie, and Mom! I ind of didn't realize that my diagnosis is so bad... maybe I googled the wrong thing? hahahaha! Only what I know that it's not going to get better, and it hurts like hell! Especially last night, after work, my 8th day without a day off. I am not really passionate about the store, I just really love to do a good job no matter where I work. Plus, I really care about the people who are there with me, my associates.
Mom, I am glad too that the mistery of "boney pain" is solved! ;-) Thank you for being so sweet!
I'm glad they had a diagnosis for you! I hope that means they can prescribe some medicine to make it hurt less! Take care of yourself. Have you tried a heating pad?
