Deb,

I'm really sorry that you're feeling so bad. I really miss you and hope that

this flare passes soon. Stress from surgery is famous for causing flares, and

I've had the same thing happen to me. I hope the nebulizer works and you don't

have to be hospitalized.

My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. Happy holidays to you and your

family, and may you be blessed with improved health.

hugs,

a

Hi,

Please excuse met yet once again. Thank you all for your good wishes they

have TRULY been appreciated. I am in some type of BAD flare.

My fingers move very little (someone else is helping here) and am still

swollen from head to toe. They say it is due to all the surgery they have

done on my left knee. I am having terrible trouble with my lungs, shortness

of breath, wheezing, very little coughing. The pulmo guy increased the

inhalers and I am now the proud owner of a nebulizer, no results from that

yet, it has only been a short time. He says that if there is no improvement

within 1 week, back to see him and then probably to the hospital for a little

holiday cheer. The rheume increased the prednisone to 30 mg a day, not much

relief yet from that, hands still painful and swollen.

No news on my husband's new job yet and I have not started to look. SSI is

sending me for a psych consultation.

Once again, Please have a wonderful holiday season from my house and family

to you and yours. We all have each other and that will see us thru another

year together holding each other's hands and hearts as we take whatever this

disease is going to throw our way.

I miss you all so much and you are all in my prayers. Hopefully 2002 will

let us all be a tiny bit painfree and if not, then the strength to deal with

it.

All my love to each and every one of you.

Happy Holidays to One and All with gentle tender loving angel hugs!!!!!!!

Kathy,

I hope the double therapy today isn't to much for you.

I'm glad your son's surgery is over and he's doing ok.

Wishing you a painfree day,

i cried all the way home from therapy on my arm. i just can't believe i have

to go through this, yet again. my son did very well (thanks) they also

brought me home the stuff from my desk. people from work sent me a box of

food and $62.00 so that was really nice. i kinda felt bad, because i talked

to some of my friends there and told them i was disappointed that the company

left me out. (no turkey, birthday card, get well card, no invite to the free

to employee x-mas dinner.) so i felt like they took i the wrong way. kathy in

[Guest guest]

Debs,

That really stinks. I don't understand what happened. I certainly hope

you don't have to go to the hospital, but if you must for safety's sake,

you must.

How are the doctors explaining all of this? Now that the rest of you has

been affected so severely (AGAIN!), what about that knee? Is your knee

better at least?

I hope Ron hears about his job very soon so that you and your family can

stop worrying. Please don't consider looking for a job right now. You

just can't.

I'm praying that you can have a good Christmas. Give us another update

when you can.

Deb, I pray that your FLARE is better. It's terrible to be down through the

Holidays. I was the past two years, I am so thankful that I'm up and able to

to do this year.

Also may all these worries soon fade away, as they don't help any. Hopefully

the job for your husband will pan out.

But being in this group you know how to hang in there. Be Blessed in this

Holiday Season.

Merry Christmas,

Hey everyone,

Gosh I can't find the time to write and say Merry Christmas to you all. I

sure hope you all had a wonderful and pain free day yesterday.

With being in a cast and trying to finish christmas shopping christmas

eve day. We had christmas dinner with 's parents at 11am on christmas

eve day so that his brother could be there. His brother is a police officer

and he had to be on duty at 2pm. He slept through thanksgiving. Anyway, the

kids are happy. They even got into the giving part of christmas. That sure

made me happy.

I don't remember if I told you all that the 11th of Jan goes back to

the OR to have his pin removed and a new cast put on. We can't wait for this

to be over. It has gotten very cold here in Mobile and he sure is feeling it.

We just started him back on the Enbrel. We had to stop it when he had surgery

and his lungs just weren't up to having the extra stress. We were worried

about an infection starting.

Ok got to go. is at me to play a game with him.

Ya'll take care and have a Happy New Year.

I know how hectic the holidays are with children. Until school is back, you'll

be very busy playing games! I miss having young children to enjoy the holidays

with.

I'm glad is able to go back on Enbrel. I'm sure he is anxious to get the

pins and cast behind him. I hope everything goes well and he doesn't have any

pain.

Happy New Year to you and your family.
