Happy Birthday

[Guest guest]

Happy Birthday Ruthann! Hope you have a great day.

As for me I am feeling better. The 60 mg of pred has helped. Will drop to

50 mg on Sunday & see how it goes. Only had a little flare on Tues, went to

the Internist & eye Dr. My iritis in the right eye is gone, will only need

1 drop of pred in the eye for a month & then off. My ear flared a little on

Tues but there was a lot of running. There is significant scar tissue in the

canal & I noticed it is a little deformed. Oh well. My knees are much

better, a little sore but nothing I can't handle. My Internist is going to

talk to the Rheumy about disability since I have been unable to work for the

last year & a half & it doesn't look like I will be able to in the near

future. I don't think she is real wild about me being in the group. She

hasn't said anything outright but I just get the feeling she's not quite

sure. Oh well, that's her problem. I need support from people who

understand this. I understand it will take time to get me straightened out

whatever that might be, but patience is not one of my stronger virtues, but

I am learning.

I have resigned myself to the fact that I just have to relax & not feel

guilty about it. After the Dr. visits last week & this I realized that

although these short trips used to be no big deal, while I'm going through

this they have become major ordeals. It will be rough since I am used to

going. I have to think twice about just picking up & running to the store

for something that isn't urgent. My hubby & daughter will just have to pick

up the slack.

My oldest daughter & 4 yo grandson are coming Sat. & staying overnight so my

son in law can study for a test. I am going to see Anka on Sat. night.

Got tickets for my birthday from my daughter. I'm really excited. Going to

play cards tomorrow night at a friends house so the weekend will be busy but

enjoyable.

Get well wishes & prayers to those of you who are so ill right now. Feel

better soon Judy O.
