Aging and the Body
October 10, 2009
I am supposed to be at a Yard Sale for Next Step today and I just could not make it. I spent most of last night getting up and going to the bathroom. My digestive system was totally out of whack. I will spare you the details. I ended up getting about four hours of sleep and, early this morning, was just not in any kind of shape to go anywhere.
The thing is, I cannot really think of any good reason for it. I followed the rules of my diet religiously yesterday and just did not take anything in that should have caused this. This just seems to come on more or less randomly. I can go for a month without an episode like this–and then it happens–and keeps me from doing my work. I hate that. I have just never experienced this kind of thing before.
I guess I am just going to have to get used to the idea that there will be days I cannot work–though here I am writing a blog post. I am just not sure how to get used to this, though I am pretty sure that I have to. Doing what I do, you have to go on the road, take pictures and videos, and come home and write it up. You cannot do everything from the Internet.
So, tell me: What do I do about this?

If you think that having one day is bad read this story and the you will tell me. For people with RSD is a every day ordeal.

I know that there are worse problems. I deal on a daily basis with a lot of people who have them. My point, I guess, is that a lot of us from my generation are beginning to understand what it means to have limitations–and that we often have the same interests as people from other disability groups.
