Hi there!

Glad you are home and well and truly on the way to recovery. Please

be good to yourself and do what is best for your recovery. This is

coming from someone who would probably tell the undertaker to stop

because I had something else to do! I just don't have what it takes

to NOT do " stuff. " I've had to do for everyone else for so many

years I don't think I could stop now. Was supposed to take it easy

this weekend and raked leaves, cut grass, & scrubbed the kitchen

floor. Well I DID have a Decadron shot Thursday & felt pretty good,

but boy am I paying for it now, hurting big time, but the yard looks

good!

Now you do as I say and not as I do, and rest, pray, reflect, laugh,

but don't work! We DO care for you, and new as I am to this group,

it feels like home to me.

God bless you and give you some tender angel hugs too,

Judi

Thanks for your support. I really need it. I am having some major puter

problems, so I may not be on as much as usual (could be a good thing!) or may

go to NO MAIL until AOL or a computer geek can resolve this.

I will keep trying to let you guys know how things are going. Although, I

think this last hospital incarceration may have been the last as I feel I

have turned the corner on my recovery!

Please be good and don't do anything that I wouldn't do! Gee, that kind of

gives you a broad license!

Iris,

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, good. Just what the doctor ordered & I can't hurt my

knee with it either LOL..........I can't think of one doctor who wouldn't

prescribe that treatment for ANYTHING that ails you.

It is so good to be home and see all my familiar dust bunnies that I know by

name. I am having some serious puter problems, so you may not see too much

of me on line, but I will still be here and read if nothing else. I may even

go to NO MAIL just to cut down on the volume, but for no other reason!

Gotta get the puter fixed, lost all my old mails, address books and

bookmarks, so something got it!

I feel that I have really made the turn in my recovery in my knee and that it

may actually heal!!!!!

Love,

Debs

Ethel,

PLEASE have a safe trip! This is probably the best place for you even though

Stan will be lost without you,

I am sure that all my " stuff " is in the 7.0, however, I can't 7.0 to open!

Something is terribly wrong and when I call AOL, I am told they are too busy

to take my call, try later.

At least I can read and post a little on the 4.0, but I feel so lost without

everything else. I dreaded this day may come and here it is! Yep as bad as

I expected.

Your family doesn't know what a gem they have in you! You are a very special

person, Aunt Carol and I wish all the best for all of you!!!! As you go to

Atlanta, I will be seeing my ortho tomorrow AM for him to confirm what I

think I already know!

Have a safe trip, sweet Ethel and let us know how baby watch goes!

Sending all my love,

Lucy

Hi Lucy!

When you reinstall AOL 7.0 you will find your address book will magically

reappear, because they store it on their server. With the older versions

the addresses resided on your own HD, so the AOL 4.0 is looking for a file

that's no longer there (it's on the server). I hope that makes sense, and I

hope your computer problems are resolved soon!

I'm getting ready this afternoon to head up to Atlanta tomorrow. I'm going

to stay with my Mom until the baby comes, then stay with my brother and

family.

I'm glad the knee's starting to heal!

All my love,

Ethel

Hi Debs,

I am so glad to see you post! How are you doing? I am so sorry to see you go

through this horrible mess Debs. Are you still with the same physicians? Are

you still fighting sepsis? I can't believe the hell you have gone through

and I only pray you are on the road to recovery now. I take it you are home?

on IV's? So good to hear from you but so sorry you have been so sick. I am

now in FL also but outside of Tampa. Thank you for the information on ARAVA.

These drugs seem to be either miraculous or nothing.

What is important that Rheumatologists are not telling patients. THESE NEW

MEDICATIONS CAN BE DANGEROUS.. I like many ,, am desperate for relief and

have taken every new medication that has come down the road in twenty years

but I think that I am paying for it now. The doctors, as my rheumatologist

attested to yesterday, do not know the long term side effects of these drugs

as the drugs have not been used long enough. I sincerely believe that

following my taking of some of these new meds...I have reached a point where

my body is showing strange reactions to everything...things I have taken all

of my life are now putting me in critical care! . So For now I am on

hold...watching and reading everything I can before taking the next drug.

Love Joanne
