Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 You are in Tennessee with very rare weather. It has been beautiful, cool, low humidity for the past few day-very rare for TN in August. Usually it is mid to upper 90's with the humidity about the same and the grass brittle and parched. We have had lots of rain and everything is still green. We usually mow our yard only once or twice in July & August and we have had to mow at least once a week all summer. Enjoy-I sure am. I can't ever remember it being this cool and green in August. linda in middle Tn but heading east to a cabin near the plateau this weekend From: bcreedon <bcreedon (DOT) com> Subject: [ ] Re: Back to 10 mg. of Prednisone @gro ups.com Date: Tuesday, August 25, 2009, 5:48 PM Hi : It is painful, and my Rheumy said the same thing about the weather we are now having. I so want to be well and stay well this visit. I am sick of getting sick going home!!!! Yes, I have arranged for a wheelchair here and in Boston. I have used this service several times flying. I always fly Jet Blue and they are so terrific to me. How are you feeling? Is this weather causing you pain also? I know you weren't feeling very good the last time we talked. Thanks for your post to me. Wishing you many pain free days ahead.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 It has been nice and cool here in TN. When we moved here two years ago, middle TN was experiencing a bad drought. We couldn't water our grass in the new home because of water restrictions. in middle Tn [ ] Back to 10 mg. of Prednisone > @gro ups.com > Date: Tuesday, August 25, 2009, 1:52 PM > > > > > > > > Hi everyone: I was down to 5 mg. of Pred. but started to have a few > problems.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 We stay on Dale Hollow Lake near Byrdstown. We have been coming to this lake for about 35 years now. Our kids have grown up on it and still love it and now our grandkids are loving it too. In the summer water skiing and swimming and in the winter enjoying the peace and quiet and hopefully a little snow. linda From: bcreedon <bcreedon (DOT) com> Subject: [ ] Re: Back to 10 mg. of Prednisone @gro ups.com Date: Tuesday, August 25, 2009, 5:48 PM Hi : It is painful, and my Rheumy said the same thing about the weather we are now having.
