Just got off the phone with my mom, who called to say she's been running a
fever for three days w/upper respiratory infection symptoms - and she *just*
called the dr's this morning! Of course, since it's before 9:00am in Denver,
she could only leave messages with the answering ...

I have taken some pictures of the outside of our new house.  The inside
pictures will wait until we have finished unpacking.

Adelle, I think it was you who wrote about Alex whose face and legs were so
damaged.  Do you know how he is now?  I've been praying for him, along with
Jason Deal.

will tell you more later, I am so tired, and hurting.

Mom went back into the hospital with a blood clot in her groin last
Wednesday. Her kidney function has decreased to 13% and she's sleeping
a lot. They put her on heparin and coumadin which in the past has
caused her to bleed so they've been watching her closely. And like

Well spent the morning kicking butt!  My General Practitioner and my
rheumatologist are royally ticked and both struggling to find a neurologist
that can get me in pdq and treat me.  They hoped to get me in today but
haven't had a call yet so hopefully tomorrow morning.  Thanks

I received an email from Donna's friend today.  Donna is out of the
critical care unit and is in a regular room now, although she'll
probably be in the hospital for a few more days.  She's in good
spirits.

I hope I can get some clear information.  Just had a bone scan showed RA big
time, I have been seeing this RA DR for 2 years and she kept saying "your
blood work does not show any problems or RA factors so just take tyenol.  Now
she is talking about Arava and enbrel.  Can anyone ...

Hey, Gang, I need some diagnostic help here.  I had been out of my Arthrotec
for nearly two weeks.  Some stiffness, lots of pain and a new symptom that's
driving me nuts!  My abdomen cramps...spasms...whatever, it hurts! and then
I get a gurgle like water cooler being emptied. ...

Donna was admitted to the hospital late last night.   She's in the
critical care unit to monitor her breathing.  I'm sure she'd
appreciate prayers and good thoughts.   I'll post if I hear anything
more.

Sorry, I tried half-heartedly to sign up for the German server, baulked when
asked to enter a valid e-mail addy, meant to get round to it, and, well,
here we are a Brazillion years later.
Ahem........how we all a-diddlin' then?

My sister Iris now has an infection. She had called on the weekend and
said there was some redness, and the area was feeling very hot. My
middle sister and I went over, had a look, and decided that she should
go to the ER. Fortunately her doc was on-call; he came and looked and

Seems like lots of people here have been having greater than usual health
issues. Said a blanket prayer for everyone on the NG today at this mornings
Sukkot services. The list of individuals is just getting too long.
May each of you find yourselves in better health, with complete ...

I swear, this thing is going out the window soon!  If Bill Gates and Windows

Back on topic.  I fell into the trap of buying warming creams for my

For me the Arthrotec proved to be a miracle drug.  Within about 4 hours
after taking it, the spasms eased up and, although I gurgled a couple of
times the next day, I have had no further spasms and now the gurgling is
gone....as is my major stiffness and pain.  I love my Walter ...
