Been Another Long Weekend with Rheumatoid Arthritis

First posting! I've decided to keep track of my battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis via this blog rather than in a notebook. I thought it might be helpful to me keep track of my RA issues and maybe even get some thoughts and feedback from others with like problems. I won't get into my history now, but I will for sure. For now I'll do a quick update on the weekend.

I can't recall how many times I've iced my knee and foot since Friday. I woke up between 4-5am this morning with crazy pain in my foot. So much, that by 5:30 my sweetheart went downstairs and grabbed an ice bag. Took my medicine around 8:00 and mowed the lawn at 11 am. I went real slow and easy. I felt embarrassed as I must have looked 90 years old out there!

Can't wait for my phone call on Tuesday with my doctor at The Brigham and Women’s Hospital Orthopedic and Arthritis Center! Going to get some more ice and continue with my new addiction to the show 24.
