Aw come on, you can handle triplets! ((Just kidding)) has RA

too (we think--not diagnosed) and poor TJ has had to learn that he

can't always be picked up by Mommy. That's not bad, as he has formed

an early good relationship with Daddy. Duane never knew his father,

so he has had some hard times learning how to be a dad and husband.

But he is coming thru with flying colors! Duane is also very good &

supportive of , considering the abusive relationship he talked

her out of to come to him (they met on the internet while he was

recovering from brain cancer.)

I just pray that the babies & are healthy. She & Duane

originally had planned to adopt a Down Syndrom baby if they couldn't

have biological kids of their own, so whatever medical problems these

babies have, they will be loved & nurtured. taught special -ed

choir in high school, and she chose to sit with " her " kids at

graduation.

Yes, the leg is much better today, though still sore. But the good

news is, this doctor is the best! He spent 45 minutes with me, and

was vary patient, listening & explaining things. He gave me a shot

of Decadron, and I am literally bouncing today. I couldn't sleep

last night, probably a side effect of that and the 800 mg. of

Ibuprofen he's got me on 3x a day, but at least very little pain. He

did exhaustive tests (bloodwork--I'm pale today!) and said if they

are not conclusive he will refer me to an arthroid endocrinologist in

the Big City.

Well, you rest up and have a good weekend. Do you have to work

weekends? It is supposed to rain & storm all day today & tonight, so

guess no yard work for me tomorrow, though I may sneak out &

transplant some shrubs & flowers now that the earth isn't like

cement. We had over 2 inches of rain yesterday! There are little

smiles on my flowers (or what's left of them.)

Live Long & Prosper,
