Wednesday was my 41st birthday. I got many birthday wishes through facebook and a cross stitch mailing list I am on. These well wishes touched me and made me feel good. I had a good day. My DH let me choose a couple of cross stitch books and patterns as birthday gifts. I will post about them in my stitching blog. I was very happy that everyone in the house remembered my birthday and wished me well. I'm not one for having birthday parties and stuff. A sincere "Happy Birthday" is enough for me. I got a chocolate cake, frosted with chocolate fudge frosting and shaved chocolate to decorate it. DH said that, as a chocoholic, he thought that cake was perfect! It was delicious!
I was really hoping my pain would give me a break on my birthday but no such luck. It wasn't a pain crisis, but I did stay at an 8 or 9 most of the day, even with my medications. Insomnia has returned the last few nights because I just can't get comfortable. When I do fall asleep, I wake up after only 30 minutes. It can then take between 30 and 60 minutes for me to get back to sleep. Apparently my pain wanted to celebrate my birthday with me. LOL
I'm going to try to get some sleep now. Who knows, maybe it will work and I'll get 3 or 4 hours of sleep without waking up every 15 to 30 minutes. That would be wonderful!

Thank you for taking the time to read and/or comment on my blog. For people who are chronically ill and/or in constant pain, it can be difficult to socialize as frequently as we would like to do so. Talking with others online is a way for us to socialize, chat with others, make new friends, reach out to others in similar circumstances and many more positive effects.
Knowing that someone has read my posts and commented on it, helps in many ways. The biggest two being that it helps ease the feeling of being "alone" and that no one could possibly understand. Secondly, it reminds us that others truly do care and that just feels wonderful!!
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and/or comment on my blog, it really does mean a great deal to me and is helpful too!
