in WA - grandchildren, RA, and apples

[Guest guest]

Hello, !

I know your grandchildren mean a lot to you. You speak of them often and

with such warmth. When will you see them next?

I'm sorry that you aren't sure how you are doing. When is your next

appointment? Don't lose hope. New treatments are coming.

Lately, I've been chuckling about what you said a few weeks ago (or at

least I've attributed it to you) in response to someone who doesn't seem

to understand the nature of RA: " Hello, I still have rheumatoid

arthritis! " Maybe our proposed t-shirts should say that (or whatever

disease) on one side and " It's the pain, stupid! " on the other.

Have fun eating those apples. I'll be interested to see how your

experiment turns out. It certainly can't hurt. I saw a's article

about apples this morning and it reminded me that I've never been fond

of those beautiful Red Delicious, but enjoy almost every

other variety I've tried. Braeburn - yum, yum!

Hope you have a good day!
