Re: Thank you all for being there.

Pam,

That is what we are all here for, for you to vent,rant, cry,laugh, scream etc. That is what a support group is for to support you. Never feel as if you have to keep anything inside. It is always better to get it out, and knowing that we are all here for you and understand what you are going through. Sorry that your not feeling better. I'll keep you in my prayers!

Love & Prayers, Barbara

RA is big and at some point we have to change parts of our lives. Like shoes,I use to be a shoe hound, I had about 40 pairs of everyday shoes and about the same in work or dress shoes. I now have 4 pairs that I feel safe in. The good side of this is I save money and floor space. I have always been the person that finds the funny parts of sadness and untill this month I couldn't find any thing funny about this at all. One night I was at a frinds house and realized that he would open my beer bottles before giving it to me and for some reason I found it funny, that maybe one of those need to be there things,but I think you all understand. If any of you are in the San or Comal TX area please let me know, also if you are in the Memphis TN , that is where I grew up HA!HA! Thanks for being out there, Pam P.S my hands are in bad shape today, sorry for the spelling.
