After a few lizard encounters through the screen, and the surprise entry of a baby lizard through a bent screen opening that allowed it to get inside and hang out in the window well... Well, we appear to not have cars now so much as little murder machines. 😛 #cats #catsofinstagram #catsinwindows #murdermachines (at San Jacinto, California)

for several weeks now, i’ve been experiencing increasingly bad headaches, migraines, muscle aches, and generally feeling like crap on top of my usual almost unbearable nerve pain. i’m not sure of the specific cause – i think it’s related to the CRPS/RSD in my neck and shoulder which is triggering a lot of the migraines and headaches, but it’s probably in a big picture sense simply the interaction between CRPS/RSD, fibromyalgia, and stress, all of which i have in abundance.

today has been particularly bad. i’ve got so much that i need to accomplish, but i can barely function. when i have to walk out of the blessedly darkened office i work in and into the glare of the overhead fluorescent lighting, it’s like having ice picks stuck into my brain. repeatedly.

so tired of being in pain.

so much pain, all the time.

how much for a life you don’t despise?

I wrote this entry a few weeks before the MRI that found a 40mm by 7mm syrinx inside my cervicothoracic spinal cord, which was the cause of all of my back, neck, and shoulder pain, and headaches. Reading it now takes me right back to that place when I was first diagnosed and 8 was so absolutely desperate for relief that I agreed to an invasive, extensive surgery to place a shunt and do a laminoplasty of 3 vertebrae despite having almost no information on what was happening or what to ask. Now I know the surgeon was extremely underqualified, exaggerated his experience, and made choices that will most likely lead to serious complications down the road. It's amazing how fast things can change. I saw that this year - going from stable and pretty functional to losing huge amounts of neurological function and ending up in the hospital and the in a nursing home for a month because of a CDC Guidelines/DEA triggered medication change done over two months that severely destabilized my whole system. My meds are about to change again, and I'm worried. I can only hope that the couple good doctors I have left will help make it as smooth as possible and get me through any and all rough spots without hospitalization.

endless greater sea

Found this in an old journal from my first trip to Antigua. this land is so small all around just bright deep blue perhaps it feels like home to little me because I too am floating in an endless greater sea 💜💖

No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one’s laughing at God When they’ve lost all they’ve got And they don’t know what for No one laughs at God on the day they realize That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes But God can be funny At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or Or when the crazies say He hates us And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke God can be funny, When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus God can be so hilarious No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one laughing at God in hospital No one’s laughing at God in a war No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor No one’s laughing at God No one’s laughing at God No one’s laughing at God We’re all laughing with God

i've been following the occupy wall street movement as much as i can given my workload (probably arguably too much), particularly through things like wearethe99percent.tumblr.com, which is a heart-rending statement of how bad things have gotten for so many.

what is most striking, to me, is how over and over again people say, "i am one of the lucky ones," "we are luckier than most," and then go on to tell of struggle that is hard to see the positive within. a couple of generations ago, being among "the lucky ones" meant you had a stable job (which in itself meant something very different -- a job you could stay in for life), a home, two cars, and enough to live in modest comfort. maybe even vacation somewhere out of state in the summer.

now, just having any kind of job is enough to make us count ourselves among the lucky. having health insurance, even if it comes with a huge deductible and a monthly premium that's 1/3 of your income. being able to afford two or three small meals a day for everyone in your family (usually with help from free breakfast and lunch programs). having a car, even if it's on the verge of permanent breakdown. having a roof over your head no matter how small or how many people you have to share it with.

we are the lucky ones only, only, because there are so many others who have it worse.
