Good Morning,
I woke up this morning and I can raise my arms without assistance from the other, and make a fist, YAHOO!!!!! Yesterday, I had to use my left arm to help raise my right just for a blood pressure. I saw much improvement last night, but I was a afraid after being in bed all night I would wake up with stiff and painful joints once again. It must be this wonderful pillow top, top of the line mattress that the hospital has. It cured me.....NOT. I guess I have to give credit to the wonderful steroids I am taking. To all of my friends out there with Rheumatoid Arthritis, and there are several, I am so sorry. I have felt your pain, and my heart goes out to you. I am fortunate mine should go away, I wish I could do something to take yours away. Now I know how it feels when Scott's jaw cramps up when he tries to chew. Although it usually doesn't affect his speech, the BS still seems to run out easily. I guess I am feeling better :)
I hope to be on my way home today. My kids both have basketball games tomorrow and I hate to miss them. They are still waiting on a couple of blood tests that they ran for some rare virus. Once that is back and is negative, there should be no reason for them to keep me. I will be out of isolation for sure.
Enjoy your weekend. Thank you for all of the prayers, they are wonderful. If you could add to your prayer list, one of my teachers from my high school, Sharen Wroblewski, who has been so very supportive through this journey of mine, is sending her son Cory, who is an Army pilot back to Iraq today. This will be his second trip. Cory's wife Hope, who is also an Army pilot, will be deployed to Iraq at the beginning of February. Their service is so important to me and our country, and I appreciate them very much. We just want them home safe. I will keep you all posted, thank you for all of the support. You inspire me.
Love,
Trish
