One of my favorite things to do during this time of the year is sitting in a dark room with just the Christmas lights on sipping my morning coffee.
This is one of my favorite ornaments, The Capitol Building. I found this in Fort Wayne somewhere but the four of us did have a trip to D.C. and were able to go into this fabulous building. It is shown on television quite a bit these days and the news reporters are in Statuary Hall and brings back good memories of our fun time there. In one week we walked 41 miles.






Speaking of Antique, this year I started going to a rheumatologist and she determined that I had inflammatory arthritis. I take one small pill daily and have just felt great and even lost 23 pounds! Win, Win!
On December 2nd while moving the wash to the dryer I had a pulling pain that let go and was painful for days. I believe I had a housework related injury! A week later I had been carefully walking and boom something in my knee stuck and I went down face first. Then on my 60th birthday it got worse and I almost fell in the restaurant parking lot and building. Thank goodness my family was with me to help me out. For the car beside us, if your mirror was all wonky when you came out, I’m sorry. I got into the Ortho Doctor and he pulled out fluid and put in cortisone and sent me to the Physical Therapist for six weeks. Ostio Arthritis gone mad. So that is why I say….You never know what is ahead of you. One day you are feeling great, the next day you are falling down. Either way, this will get fixed. One session of PT helped me stand up straighter and walk better. I am not fast and I have an even higher respect for people who live with a permanent disability. Be Patient and Be Kind.
