And she nev...No, it was too hard to call her again. And she never called me. Sorry to report that.<br /><br />It may be a great help to you to have had this in the family already. So, they may sorta "get it" by now. <br /><br />We have a lot in common. I am a huge NFL fan also. Your blog is good. All of our voices are needed. I like your wallpaper especially.

My name is Angie. I've been readin...HI Kelly. My name is Angie. I've been reading you blog for a couple of weeks. I was diagnosed with RA last September.....at 38 years old. This story left me with tears and a lot of empathy and sympathy. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard "sucks to get old" I'd be a rich woman. There are some mornings I don't know what I would do without my kids. My son who is 8 and my daughter who is 5 really do understand what this disease can do. My mother-in-law has it and when she was diagnosed there were no treatments like there are today. She has significant joint damage. My kids know how serious this is and they never question when I can't do something. My friends onthe other hand.....I don't talk about it too much. I have very few, like maybe 3 or 4, who are not uncomfortable to ask how I am etc but even then Ihave one who looks at me like I'm dying. There are days where I want to poke his eyes out. I am curious....do you still talke to this "friend" from the beach? It may not be too late to use that line. It's important for people in our lives to understand what we go through.....not to pitty..... just to understand why the have to slow down two paces, or carry a chair, or open a door. You are a brave and strong woman but I'm sure you've heard that before! My blog is called RA and Me if you are interested. It's nothing fancy.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110461346301500447noreply@blogger.com
