Re: June is finally back

[Guest guest]

June,

So glad to see your post. We have missed you so much. I am so sorry to hear

of your foot problems. With your busy schedule, no feet isn't a good

situation.

Hope your journey to better health is a short one and look forward to hearing

from you soon.

Gentle, tender, angel hugs,

June,

I am so relieved to hear from you. I knew something bad had to be going on

for you to be away for so long. This is your longest absence in 3 years!

You must have had a nasty infection. I¹m relieved it is getting better.

I am so sorry about your girl. As a major pet lover, I understand all

to well how you feel.

My dog is also 9. I hope continues to act like a 4 year old for a

long time.

I believe the post you are looking for may have come from . She is

from Canada. I looked to see if she wrote a post mentioning

Hofstetter, but if so I must have deleted it. If no one finds it, I¹ll try

the archives.

It¹s great that you are teaching so many more doctors. What a great program

patient partners is. I wish the states had such a program. Since our new

members don¹t know what patient partners is, June is in a program that

teaches doctors about rheumatoid arthritis. They get hands on experience

as June teaches them.

June you are one special lady!

Now if Rainy and Tery would check in, I¹d feel much better. Tery had her

first flare since being on kineret, and hasn¹t posted since. She has never

been this quiet for so long. Rainy is also entirely to quiet. Hope she is

just enjoying the nice weather.

Thanks for the warning. Any problems with my feet I will get checked out.

When we have compromised immune systems, we can¹t ignore even minor

infections.

Hope it heals quickly.
