Thanks a lot Candy and Kath, I know a lot is due to meds and there is not much I can do about that. I have tolerated celebrex for 2 days now and only had to take narcotic stuff onece yesterday and once today. My arm had quite a work out today so I am hoping it will be okay. Silly long stories but daughter had problem with front tires, took other daughter's car, we had to get tires fixed but couldn't find car keys anywhere and she didn't know where they were. (she has no idea that I late today picked up another key from my friend who sold her the car. Anyway, it meant I was driving the wagon that is a standard and needs servicing as it shifts hard. Truck which an auto is in shop and I don't have the money to bail it out anytime soon. Another story, daughter took it on a 120 mile trip and the next day I get in and no brakes. All of the rear including the cylinders needed replacement and she told me she hadn't noticed anything odd, including brake lights!!!!!

I have some pain now but no big deal it's just that I worry about it getting unmanageable. Hubby has this fairly normal growth on his eye that needs to be "shave" occasionally and tonight it got irritated and he is in pain so a patch and some lidocaine and a conversation with his eye doc who was away on vacation and called. All we can do is patch and have it laser shaved tues. Lidocaine 3 times daily. Painful.

So I gave the little one her bath and I can't hold my right arm up much so I can't do all of the braids or other designs that would control her wonderful hair. Her skin has been really dry and I put olive oil, baby oil, mineral oil and coco butter in the bath. Wish I had the arm strength to now clean the tub. Her skin is great tonight and so is she. How did I fall in love with a stranger so instantly? She is my child and I would walk across fire for her. AND! she is not an easy kid either. But she is in my heart and I love her. I think she has a lot to do with this flare up of arthritis and spurs etc as she wants to be carried and she is just so big to do that.
We do lots of cuddling.

Ocd daughter has steralized her room and admitted to her when I asked her to get me the skin creme that she was ritualizing and did not want to stop the routine. I really wish I could hook up two washers and dryers!!!!!!!!!

All more then you asked. Pain is good today. So far so I don't jinx it.

I feel lucky to be relatively pain free and to have such a wonderful family. High maintainence that they are.

Thanks for reading and caring. Peace.
