Arthritis Walk, bicycles, Plaquenil and Golf. :)

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I read all the posts,, but don't post much.

I too am doing the Arthritis Walk on May 7 in Tulsa, OK. I missed last year,

too much pain, but the year before had a team from the library where I worked

and we raised over $1,000 dollars.

So far, I've raised over $200 on my own.

Bicycles....just today I asked my PT if I could ride a bike again (I had

arthroscopy on left knee in Feb w/ chondroplasty). I'm cleared for bike

riding----as long as I don't fall off!!

Plaquenil....I go for the eye exams every 6 mos, and each time complain that

its a waste of time because my eyes are always fine. My opthamologist has had to

take 6 patients off Plaquenil because of eye problems. Plus, I had cataracts in

both eyes repaired (long term, hi dose Prednisone), and am diabetic (pred

again), so in the long run I probably SHOULD be going every 6 month.

Golf...I also asked the PT about playing golf.....he won't clear me for it

until I talk to the surgeon because of the chondroplasty. The time the stress is

on my knees is during driving, and I'm not very good, but I still don't want to

screw anything up!

I just want to get to the driving range and whack a bucket of balls I got

my 12 yr old son interested in golf---I think he likes driving the cart

best----and I take him, but I want to be able to play again.

Hope all are well.
