Erica,

My husband lost his parents several years ago, both to health problems, in their 60s - 70s. And we still miss them. angel3d

I'm sure to have your daughter taken before you, and so needlessly, must be a pain that is hard to imagine. heart

This weekend I went to a Christmas Arts and Crafts Fair, walked around slowly which really means a lot of standing. Amazed how stiff my pelvis and knees get anymore when I do this.

Of course I was on my feet for ~4 hours. Distance? I guess that's not the point.

As I told my rheumy, its like my body / illness is getting worse, but we are managing it better. Its mostly when I'm outside of my normal daily routine that it jumps up and bites me in my butt.
