I usually lie there wishing I could be back in my dream and try hard to get there but of course that doesn’t work. Im not sure either that it is something that can ever be accepted, I mean the first thought when waking. Its rude and intrusive and I miss the days I could wake up and smile for the new day. I’m also fairly sure that healthy people could never understand how that has been taken away from us.
I was told once by a doctor that the middle of the night is the worst pain for RA patients, probably because our bodies have been in one position for quite a while and it hurts to suddenly have to move. The very worse is that the older we get, the more likely it is that we will have to get up and pee in the middle of the night, for some this happens a few times.
I think if I had a wish, it wouldn’t be for money, it would be to wake up on the right side of the bed for once, wake up with a smile. I guess those days are long gone, and accepting that, well, I would rather not. :)

Almost every morning, my first thought is ‘stupid back’. The worst of my pain is in my back, so that’s where it registers first that yup, I’m back to this whole living in pain thing.

I loved the never ending story! It was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

It only lasts a minute before the crush of what’s going on really hits, but at least there is that minute.

The hardest part is knowing in the morning it starts all over. But we get through it. Thank God for our meds. Thanks for the blog I look forward to it. Have a great day.
