Half A Month Into The New Year, 2012

Well, here it is, half way into January, and the world is still here.
So far, good things are happening in my one awesome life!
I'm a new Great-Gramma and my son has been communicating with me, along with his/my family. They have shared the joy with me, and I'm so thankful for this!

The weather here in Florida has been not too cold. It's been chilly a few mornings, but that's it. This week is forcasted to be in the 70's all week!

The shipment for my methotrexate injection was over a month late! I have been without it for five weeks. It finally arrived, but I saw my primary Doc this past Monday, and he said I could go without the injection, as long as I'm functioning well, and no inflammation, to speak of.

I have an appointment with the Rheumatologist this Tuesday, and we will see what she says. The lab tests came back and they are all mostly good. Nothing serious. But she does not have the special inflammation test marked to draw, like my other R.A. doc's did.

So we really cannot tell what's going on 'inside' in my heart and the rest of the internal places. I have felt great this whole last five weeks without the injection ! This is the first time since 1998! This is the first time to be without it for this long! Usually two weeks is the limit.

Tonight I do have some slight inflammation in a couple of places, but I can still walk and also use my
hands. The knuckles and tops of my hands are swollen, but not much pain tonight.

I'm looking forward to this new year of 2012, the year so many has predicted to be doom and gloom, as our last year to be on Earth !

Whether it is, or not, we just keep on and when it does end, we have no say in that,lol !  I will just live and be happy I'm alive!

Be safe and be well~
