Hi ladies! Been checking in but so busy I've been unable to stop and chat :) Love reading about all of you and your daily doings! Nothing really new here. I went back to the rheumatologist and she said that I could have had the strep issue since I was 9 (that was when I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis) and that it…

LOL! I can see my boys doing that :smiley:

I forgot to mention that I watched both episodes of 'second chance' and really like it! :)

Only live in Venice east L I V E S

Hi all! Just checking in--not much new here! My hip pain is much better with the new medicine. I am having the muscle pain and am working on strengthening my upper thigh (quad). Overall though I am so much better :) We are having a friendly weight loss challenge at work. 5 of us are trying to not only lose weight but…

He's adorable too, Sheryl! Handsome little boys :)

Super cute, Sheryl! :)

Thanks for your support, ladies! I'm feeling lots better :) Of course, I can't just rest and relax, I have to push myself. So, today my hip hurts a little more than yesterday. I did get my storage room more organized and took 3 big bags of decorations (all holiday stuff) to Goodwill. Feels so good to be less junky! It was…

This is how we spend a cold day! :) Austin and Kringle

HI Ladies! Have enjoyed catching up and I hope everyone has a great weekend. Lots of health news on me but first, have you ever made potato chips in the microwave? DJ watched a youtube video and sliced the potato up and microwaved them with salt/pepper/garlic powder. They were too crunchy for me but did have a good flavor.…

Happy New Year's eve! I posted a pic of the flooding and I wanted to check in quickly--my house is fine, I'm not close to a flood plain but I have lots of friends/coworker's who aren't so lucky! We are under a 'conserve water' order but don't have to boil water just yet. My hip is hanging in here and I start back to full 8…

This is just a small section of what we are dealing with in St. Louis. I have friends who are literally stuck in their neighborhoods! One of the hospitals is a island and we can only get there by helicopter :(

Merry Christmas Ladies! Hope you all have a joyous day and enjoy time with your families!! :) Quick update on my hip: The oral steroids made a GIANT difference! I'm back at work for 4 hour shifts and will go back to my regular schedule after New Year's. The pain is almost gone unless I try to walk very quickly or pivot…

Hi Ladies! Happy to be checking in and SO glad that everyone is hanging in there! Quick update on me--I went back to the MD and he had no solutions to help me. Basically said to suck it up! I asked for a referral and that didn't go over very well. Went to a new MD and he gave me oral steroids for 6 days. They have made a…

Hello all! Long time no talk :) I have been in a very weird place for me and just didn't feel like getting to the journal room. I'm going to try to make this short (it took me over an hour to catch up here!) My hip is better and yet it's not. I had to delay going back to work until tomorrow--not even sure I can make it for…

Anew and Ferris-- thanks for the warning about the Easy Off. I won't use it to clean my stove. I am trying to read about the steam cleaning but it seems like they wouldn't make that the only cleaning mode if its going to damage your stove :( Whatever, I'm really going to try and wipe the oven out more often and hopefully…

Hi all! Well, I chickened out on going to water aerobics on Monday. I went to see "the intern' at the movies and had to walk a long way and was so tired trying to use the cane. The movie was really a 'feel good' movie and I laughed at some parts a lot :) Anyway, I went to PT today and she worked my poor hip out! I am…

Surely unicorns suck purple eggplants S U C K S

Hello all! Thank you all for your concern and good healing vibes! My hip is improving and the pain area seems to be getting smaller each day! :) It was the entire groin area and is now basically just at the top hip area (if that makes sense). Trying to remember to take my Tylenol every 6 hours but don't always remember. I…

Hello all! I've been MIA because my hip has become a major problem :( To quickly summarize my story, on Oct. 9th, I came home from work and was in tears from the pain. I took off on Mon the 12th then worked the 13,14,15th. On Friday the 16th, I woke up and couldn't bear any weight on my leg. I couldn't lift my leg or move…
