Like many fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients, my fatigue increases in the afternoon and evening. After dinner I often am too tired to do chores or even read. But sometimes I feel like watching TV. And last year I discovered a way to escape from my body and have a great time. My mini vacation was Giant’s baseball. Yes, sometimes it was torture when they lost a close game, but the 2009-2010 baseball season was exciting and wonderful. To see the players, that band of misfits, come together as a powerhouse team to prove all the experts wrong and win the World Series was a sight to behold.
So I escaped my tired and sick body for a couple of hours while I watched a bunch of men thrill in the ability to use their talents to come out on top.
They made me smile. Especially when I realized that many of them had battled problems of their own.
Even if I never see the Giants win another World Series, nothing can take that season away from me and all of us that love the Giants. And I have the DVDs to prove it.
