Ok Liz,

You're right, maybe I should ask everyone who comes to Seattle to

treat me!

I'm glad to hear that the Prednisone helped you're flaring. It sure

is a wonder drug!

You know, I used to have hip and back pain, but since getting this

bed, that's gone. It sure makes a difference to have a good bed.

It's good to hear from you and I envy your life with the traveling.

It sounds exciting! Do you have trouble keeping your energy up, or

is that pretty much under control? I find traveling to be taxing if

I don't use a wheel chair for the terminals.

Well, take care!
