Hey There
 
Angel- Oct 7 is the date for surgery.. I am trying not to get anxious.. I feel that it is just a problem that has to be resolved. I hope we all have seen the last of the storms..I love the rain but not the damage from heavy winds..I pray that things get better for you soon.
Chrily- Any spa can give you information on water exercise for people with arthritis. Sometimes with a Dr.'s order your insurence will pay for it..My dear no one cheats on their diet unintentionally..We all my be guilty afterward but I feel we know just what we are doing at the time..Inbed the word NO in your mind. Sometimes it helps to get all the foods out of the house you shouldn't eat. Don't go in the door of fast foods.Just some hints I hope that helps..
Rar - That is good advice for all of us..We all are in command of ourselves..I have been stressing a lot lately..
Hello everybody..Where is Grasshopper?
Bye..Joanne

Good morning...I took a walk this morning for 30 minutes. YEEAAAAHHHH!

Angel-what kind of surgery do you have to have? Hope I'm not trying to be too nosy. And yes I know...my cheating is intentional. I think that is the hardest part for me is to actually see the numbers in front of me with my daily points for WW and know that I'm not putting in 100% so the results aren't meeting my expectations. I would have to rate myself a D+ for effort and trying. Maybe an B- for lying to myself.

No aches and pains this morning. Another good day, I should say. My little girl was sick all night though and she's not breathing very good yet. I'm guessing she will have full blown asthma when she gets older. Right now the wheezing and labored breathing only happen when she gets a cold. I feel so awful for her...makes this mommy want to cry.

Okidoll-haven't heard from you. Kind of worried about you. Hope you're feeling okay.

Gotta go clean the "mansion"...(okay, clean the house)

Welcome Okidoll and Chris.

Sorry I haven't been around much, but had company and fighting this darn sinus thing. For some reason, the old FM decided to flare, so have had dreadfully sore feet and hands along with my arms. I think I also need a trip to the chiro, for the lower back.

Angel - glad those storms are past you at the moment. What a time. Angel, we need to call one of those home shows and have them come out to visit you. They would have it rebuilt in just a few days, with the manpower they have. Iknow it takes time.

Joanne - Oct. 7 isn't so far away. I know you will be just fine and probably feel so much better. Just take it one day at a time, and try NOT to stress over it.

Chris - dieting is such a terrible word. Lifestyle changes makes it better and it is actually what we are doing.

Okidoll- hope you are feeling better. Exercise is a hard one, when you are in pain. Aquasize or water areobics is a good exercise, but that also can be hard on the body. You just have to find the right thing for you and take it in SMALL doses.

Rita - nice to see you back. Hope you are having a good day. I agree with Angel's advice as well.

Okay, I have a little spare time to check in. I'm kind of achy in the feet today. And the fatigue is really really bad today. If I even closed my eyes, I'd be out like that.(snap) I'm doing okay with eating today. I still have 10 pts. to use on dinner tonight for weight watchers. Awesome.

I got the results of my blood work I had done last week. I guess my C-Reactive Protein is elevated above normal. It's supposed to be .8 or less and mine is 1.0. That explains the achiness. Other than that, all looks good.

Okidoll-Where are you? Hope you're okay. Please check in.

Angel-How's your day going? Hopefully pain-free.

Rita-Hope all is well with you too.

Joanne-Surgery day is approaching, huh? Have a great day.

Happy Canuk-hope your hands, feet, and arms are feeling better. I hate that when everything decides not to work at the same time.

To everyone else I may have missed, Have a great day! (and stay outta trouble)

I can almost hear you saying OMG! Its Pam shes back.....and I dont blame you really , but no I really havent deserted you all I have just felt off for a week or so therefore havent felt like posting but I have read yours and kept up with the news.
Firstly Welcome Chrily....yet another new poster....thats great....We do love to hear from new people with new stories etc....One thing that did intrigue me was that you had a Bakers cyst, the "people that know best" seemed to think I might have had one too but didnt seem to investigate to confirm, all I know is my leg was "killing" at the time more than the norm. :( Can you tell me about yours please.....would be very interesting...Thanks!

Angel you really are having a grott time of it........Those hurricans take alot of understanding over here as we are lucky enough not to have them but we do pray for you to be safe. The whole world seems to have gone crazy at the moment what with the horrendous happenings in Iraq and all that is connected with that, the hurricans and floods, all the terrorists happenings and of course things that have always been there, the poverty. My God what have I got to moan about.....I am sooooo lucky but on a down day you would never think so. Anyway its so good that you all pulled together when times were really bad and made something positive out of it, if only for a weekend.

JoanneD, I do know how you feel when you have surgery coming round and do feel for you. Its not long since I had mine and I was so grateful to be posting on here and having everybody rooting for me. It was nowhere near as scary as I thought it was going to be when it came to it. Anyway we are all there for you if you want to vent as the time gets nearer. ;)

Everybody else, I cant post individual messages or I will be here for ever. I have been reading your posts and wish you all pain free days. I am fighting the hospital and the GP at the moment because some paperwork has gone astray and I cant start my new demard til its sorted.They are supposed to have put me on Leflunomide (Arava) 2 weeks ago but the GP cant prescribe until the Rheumy has sent the paperwork. You would think in this day and age they would just email it. Crazy!!! :?: Anyway its pouring with rain although its still quite warm. Very Autumnal really! My Son has gone off to Italy to play Basketball and my DIL is joining him in a couple of weeks. She went home to Georgia to see her parents for a couple of weeks. Its great to see them but now they have gone (1 month on) its awesome to get my house back, my pc back, my phone back, my couch back, :lol: So now its fun time so catch you all soon.
