Hi all, had knuckle replacement op, and doing ok

Hi all my fibro friends. It seems so long since I have been in touch, but, having had such a lot of trouble with my computer, it evenutally gave up the ghost, but I have just borrowed this one until I can get another. However, I have had my knuckle on the left hand replaced last Tuesday, and so far, all is going well in that department, it will take about 9 months altogether, but having had 2 other ops like this, I`m now getting used to it. I can`t say I`m doing too well at the moment on the fibro front, [ sleeping is worse than ever, headaches, aches and pains just about everywhere else, and the tiredness is awful etc ] and I am at times so stupid, because I still find it quite hard to admit that I am having ` flare ups` so keep trying to do everything as I would normally, when am I going to learn? however, enough of my whinging and whining, how are the rest of you gettinng on? [ by the way, please excuse any mistakes as I am in plaster, and trying to type with on e hand, not terribly easy ]I do hope you are all having not too bad a time, I really have missed not being able to read your blogs. I am going to try and keep up with what is going on whilst I have this computer, however, I think this is enough for me right now, but lots of hugs and well wishs to you all, keep positive and active if you can, and when you`re feling not so well, try and distract yourselves by doing other things, it does work. God bless

Hi Dee. Thanks for your message. Like you, I`m in my 70s [ 76 actually ] and because I have always been so practical and with it, I find it very difficult to take on board I have a problem, cos, I don`t believe in problems, I always try to deal with things,, but this fibro has certainly turned the tables on me now, especially as in the past I have had many serious illnesses of different things, and always managed to come through, but perhaps it is as you say, we are getting older and it`s taking it`s toll more., however, onward and upwards [ whatever that means] keep positive, distraction is the best policy, and just keep going,[ but, God, it`s so hard somtimes when you`re aching all over, you`re dizzy, your head feels as though a blood vessel has just burst in it, and you`re so tired, you can hardly stand up] I do go dancing still which is a miracle, so, I know I`m still alive. Hope you feel better soon, lots of hugs, and keep plodding on.
