Diane checking in late from Lake Elsinore, Calif. I've been in a frenzy the last week and my RA is flaring from the stress. Put my house up for sale on June 21 and it sold the 25th. In the meantime I've also been running around with the realtor looking at condos for myself and my DD#1 who will be moving in with me cuz I just can't keep up a house by myself anymore. I finally admitted it was time when I stood in the kitchen crying cuz I couldn't open up a soda bottle. I have a lovely spa on my patio that I can't use cuz I can't lift the cover by myself. It's all just catching up to me and I was doing so well on the Enbrel. So now the stress has brought on a full-on flare and I had to resort to going back on the prednisone to calm it down. Today just my rt jaw, shoulders and hands hurt, yesterday it seemed everything hurt and I survived on Vicodin. And in 2 weeks we go to New York! Talk about a poorly planned life; I really need to learn how to budget my time better. But at least with the house sold I can stop cleaning everything, everyday to keep it in tip top showing shape. I think I won't even make the bed tomorrow! HAHAHAHA.
Oh my gosh, Dianne. That was sudden and the sale went so quickly! I know it is a hard decision to make, but I am sure it is for the best. Enjoy NYC and let your daughter do most of the moving work. ;o) ;o) Good luck!
((((Diane)))) I am sooooooooooooo ready for a condo. I envey you!!!! I can`t get my DH to budge. The house w elive in though small is way too big for me to take care of. He does what he can but he`s beginning to have health issuses too.I use to be able to do sooooooooo much aroynd here. Now it`s all I can do to keep up with the cleaning.Hang in there.Bev
Molly...we DID find a condo in Corona, it does have a spa and a pool and it is just lovely. Went into escrow today. Now I am really excited and stressed. Primary gave me Rx for Ambien today so I can get some sleep. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ finally!
Thanks Bev, it definitely was time for me to move. when your DH can't do anything either and feels as bad as you do now, then he'll say "OK, lets move".
Vicki, you are so funny. If I left it up to my DD we'd never get moved. or we'd end up in some foreign country. Realistically my DS and DGSs and their BIG friends will move me and then go to DD#1 mobile home and move her. I'm not lifting a THING!
Tired lately and so busy with it being summer! Having too much trouble with my ankles and now I have had to switch from MTX to Arava due to not being able to get injectable MTX. Oh well- such is lame old life with RA (and the whole long list of other things that are wrong with this dumb bod of mine). Boohoohoo

Thanks, Molly! After tomorrow's b-day party (there's going to be 15 kids!) you can bet I'll be in the hammock with a big fat 'rita in my hand, ha! ha!
