Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I'm babysitting my gorgeous little grand-daughter today and have a problem.

The pain in my shoulder blades and collar bone is awful. Normally I'd take pain killers ... but they make me drowsey so that is out because of needing to be aware for the baby. However finding it hard to function because of the pain.

Hopefully she will stay asleep for a bit longer so that I'm not making myself worse when I pick her up.

I HATE Fibro and the aches and pains that it insists on inflicting upon us!

We went for a walk to the playground in the sunshine - the sun on my back worked wonders, and my grand-daughter loved the swings ... she is so brave and lets go to clap her hands with the sheer love of life. She'll be 9 months old on Thursday - where has this year gone? Ohh yes I slept most of it lol
