Well you were missed !!! Sorry to hear about the arthritis and knee fluid; but thankful that the doctor could help with both!

Here too they are predicting snow flurries tomorrow .. yuck!!! I hope all my perennials that are beginning to come up will weather this dip in temperature. Although come the weekends they are talking 70’s (F). Crazy weather!!!

But again, glad you are feeling better and back with us!! :-)

Hear ya … I too am on heavy duty pain medication and muscle relaxants … and as Cynthia mentioned have learned to live just one day at a time (that was a journey all it’s own :-)) . If I am having a bad pain day, just make peace with it and look to tomorrow. It is a good time to gaze around and appreciate what you have accomplished … and dream a little.

I wish you well Mario!! :-)

So sorry to hear of your health problems, Mario. It’s good to see you back on-line. Take care of yourself and don’t over do it. The cold, wet weather will be around for awhile…...it is still April. :-)

It sure is! As well as knowing that all that beauty came about because you painted that garden!

Welcome back!

Welcome back! Sorry to hear about the knee, at least drawing off the fluid should help some.

yes the needle, once i had to have it in my big toe, that was unbeleivebly painfull…...it controls the pain faster, if i just waited for the inflammation to go away by itself i could be crippled for a week…...
