Pain in Waves

My blogs are like oceans. I've said that before.  However, now I'm relating my body to an ocean also.  Some days I'm calm and serene. Other days the waves are loud and crashing; all consuming and hypnotizing; powerful surges from head-to-toe.  Like an upsurge or rise, pain comes to a crest.  Progressively swelling not only in size, but also intensity.  I am reminded by that sea shell to tread lightly through my pain... through my life.  Nothing matters unless it has to do with eternity. I tread lightly through my pain days. Eventually, calm will come again. The sun will come out as the fog clears.

When I'm in the throes of a flare up, it feels like it will never end. I know it will, but it's kinda overwhelming and sometimes I get scared while I'm in the middle of it all.

Not only do I feel waves of pain going from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet, but I also feel a nagging headache trying to get my attention.  I feel that I may be slipping into a weekend that will end up on the couch. Waves of pain are slowly growing in their intensity. I'm glad we got some movies!  One of them was the second half of the latest Dr. Who season! Yay!  The laundry is pretty much done, the house is pretty much clean, the dishes are done and this weekend we will use paper plates if I'm not up for anything.  I wonder if wine coolers will put me to sleep or aggravate my pain???  hmmm... Groceries are purchased and put away, so lunches won't be a problem. 

I guess I can just sit back and try to relax!  I wish I had a list of uplifting scriptures to go to when I'm in this mindset. I have a friend that can help with that - I'll send off an email to her straight away!  Then I should be all set when my hubby gets home!
