Re: Just checking in..... Larry

[Guest guest]

Hi Larry:

Good to see you checking in with us! So sorry about

your foot fracture - ouch! I have terrible foot pain

on the tops of my feet near the ankles - wonder if

that is where that bone is that broke on you? Does

your doctor think that having RA somehow weakened your

bones causing it to snap? I sure hope not, and I hope

that the RA does not affect the healing process

either. Glad to hear your RA overall is feeling

better - yep, it may be the pain pills, but just maybe

the RA is taking it easy on you finally. At home for

a month - well, at least you are getting in a lot of

computer time - watching any soaps? lol. Hang in

there -
