Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Tess, My Grandmother was much like your Aunt June. When I look at all she did with her deformed hands and feet and the constant pain - I still marvel at it. We are fortunate because we have better meds today. Whenever I get discouraged, I think about my Grandma and 'if she could do it so can I' Your Aunt June sounds like a real inspiration. It was wonderful of you to share that with the list. Not everyone is as fortunate as you and I. Some people have never known anyone with RA or if they do it is someone who was not able to go on with life. We all need reminders that there is plenty of life and joy even when we are diagnosed with this dreadful disease. Pat [ ] Noreen Dear Noreen...your talking about your Dad with RA reminded me so much of my dear Aunt June. She lives in Atlanta, and we live near Portland. She will be 80 in August, but comes here twice a year. She has had RA since her 40's, and her hands are very deformed. But by golly, she puts her fingernail polish on, lipstick everyday, helps my Mom with the cooking, goes on walks with my Dad though her RA has deformed her feet and toes as well. If I would beome half as courageous and tenacious as she is I would be grateful. Love & hugs... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
