They're called love bugs here also...or June bugs. I went to Cedar Point

Amusement Park one year when I was in my teens and they were all over the

place. I was aghast. You know teenage girls. LOL

In Tarpon Springs they were horrible. I hated to step on one or sit on

one. Tucker was mesmerized by them. After awhile, they were no big shakes

for him.

I loved Tarpon Springs and The Five Fishes store that carries all the Fresh

Produce apparel.

The Pride chairs are wonderful and now more affordable. I remember when I

bought my dad one, they were very very expensive. But he loved it.

I did have a foot bath once but gave it away. It didn't seem to help my

feet much...it was soothing for about 20 minutes and that was it. I did see

that pain relieving gel advertised at the podiatrist's office. It looks

like good stuff.

People put down prednisone but its a Godsend to me also. I guess I'll

have to deal with stuff down the road. One rheumy I had didn't even want to

get me started on it but during his care, I was always hurting. I've had

this other rheumy now for more that 5 yrs and he's great. He listens to

me..whatdya know?? lol

I have the weight gain in my stomach...that middle age spread. always

nice. I used to always be nice and thin. Now I have the tummy.

I had labs done last week and now call yet from my rheumy..that's always a

good sign. It's been a week now. so hopefully things will be okay. My

platelets are always always low...

Hope your results are good and things are fine. when is your surgery??
