In the past 6 months:
I went on Lyrica for fibromyalgia & it wrecked my life.
I went off it 12/2014, with horrid withdrawal symptoms.
I laid low in Jan/2015, so I wouldn't get the flu just in time for my big trip.
I spent the whole month of February at my favorite place: Taos, NM.
I went to the ER is Taos on Day #21 with chest pains --- they found nothing wrong with me.
I went to the ER here, 1 week after I got home from Taos, almost died!
I was in the hospital for a whole week for PERICARDITIS.
I've just come out of a long, painful 2 month recovery.
Now, I'm remembering a sweeter time, when I was young and healthy. Here I am at the Grand Canyon in 1976. My sister Debbie and I had gone out to L.A. to live, but LaLaLand spit us out! On the way home, we just had to see the Grand Canyon, straddle the 4 Corners, drive across the Hoover Dam, and stop for lunch at McDonald's in Las Vegas. Debbie wanted to hit the casinos, but we only had enough money to get us back to Illinois. Enjoyed the Colorado Rocky Mountains, made my second visit to Colorado Springs --- then we drove practically non-stop, taking turns at the wheel, all the way home. I could do crazy stuff like that back then.
I'm thankful for the memories.
