Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 No matter how old we get we're all still just people, and the older you are the more stories you got. I have noticed with my Mother (76) that she is set in her ways. She knows all about RA even though she doesn't have it and actually never heard of it until I was diagnosed. Now she tells me what to do about it every week. Sometimes I think she's gettin' a little weird, but in a likable way. , my sock monkey, believes she's just fiercely independent. Stan, Seattle, dark. [ ] Re: reply to Kay You all are too funny... Â You gave me my first good laugh in probably a week... Â I'm 33 and my 12 year old daughter normally opens my meds for me.. Â LOL Â and every weekend I sit at my grandmothers farm and compare aches and pains with my 75-85 year old aunts... Â I never thought I'd have so much in common with them... Â We laugh about our survival guides often and share our new remedies for getting through those rough days... They don't have RA or anything similar, but they have regular arthritis and plain wear and tare as they put it... Thank you all for sharing....
