The good thing about this group...

[Guest guest]

I have to say that this group was very helpful to me today...I was

down in the dumps and needed a boost because I was feeling sorry for

myself...I started reading and found a topic I thought I could help

with, so I did, and it took my mind off my woes for a short time, so I

thank the moderators!

I have my third MRI in two weeks set for tomorrow to scan a knee that

has decided to go down the tubes in a big way; symptoms are

unfortunately consistent with a rare steroid side effect called

Avascular Necrosis...I already lost a hip to the problem so my gut

instinct says the doc is making the right call on this one; just can't

see gearing up for a knee replacement before we get the auto-immune

disease in remission. Hah! Guess I am getting a scooter for Christmas...

So please cross your fingers, say a prayer, throw bones, read tea

leaves, or think pleasant thoughts, however it is you personally

support someone who needs something to go their way for a little while.

My thanks,

Pandora
