Thanks for sharing. What a positive person. I try to live without being idenitifed with disease. I just don't want to be known at church or around town as that sick lady. I get up every a.m. and shower, do my hair, put on my makeup and dress as if I were leaving for the day. I look in the mirror and smile and try to keep that all day. There are days of pain that the smile won't stay with me unless I really think about it.

My hubby has so much pain with RA and getting ready to have a knee replacement that is one year old...replaced again! We try to not try to outdo each other with our pain stories. ) I might ask him how he is and he may respond with a number. He may ask me and I may tell him "kind of a brownout today" as opposed to a full blown blackout and we both know how the other is and we get on with the day. I try to help him and he helps me. If one is up, they get something for the other, etc. If one needs a back rub, the other does it; or feet, etc.

We just do better if we don't talk about hurting. When I really need to vent, I come here and I appreciate you all for always being here to listen.

I have some more thinking to do Ronel on all you shared. Thank your brother for me.

Blessings.
