I haven't even had to have surgeries yet, and I get the " I feel

sorry for me " syndrome! RA sucks! The pain, fatigue, potential loss

of use of normally taken for granted body parts...yeah, it sucks. I

don't blame anyone for going thought periods of feeling sorry for

themselves. I think if you didn't, that would make you a little

strange! LOL!

Hang in there!!

Barb,

I'm sorry you've got to have another surgery. I understand just how

you feel. I think I've had 9 surgeries.

Even though they have helped, I agree with you that it's still very

difficult to face them. My family keeps

asking when I'm going to get my ankles done. I just can't face

another surgery right now.

You have every right to feel sorry for yourself. You've been through

so much and sometimes it seems like

we'll never see the end of these surgeries. Yes, we are grateful that

they are available, but it's still

difficult to endure.

Bringing x-rays won't help. I have ID cards showing my knee

replacements, but it won't stop the searching.

I personally don't mind if it means we are safer. I've flown 4 times

in the last year and they have been very

courteous and accommodating to me.

Barb,

So sorry to hear about another surgery. Thankfully I

have not had to have surgery yet. What is wrong with

the thumb? My thumb moves down but won't move up. I

hope everything goes ok for you. You will be in my

prayers.
