Great topic Johnny!! Love the positive outlook...
Today is a perfect day to me!!
I feel better than I have in three years. My pain level is down, a lot.
All my surgeries have healed and so has my fractured foot I did this summer.
I can walk. Not only can I walk... but without braces, crutches, or a wheelchair. That is phenomenol!!
I'm on a NSD and have lost seven pounds. I haven't lost that much weight in eight years!!
My son...as some know went through a couple of tough years... He's
working full-time, for United Cerebral Palsey now. Seems happier than he has
been in a long time. Has a sweet girlfriend... I'm so happy for them.
My hubby and I just spent a vacation together, just hanging out at home
and enjoying each other. And whats really cool, he's gone onto the NSD
with me, and is losing pounds too.
My family is healthy and happier. How perfect is that...
I am finally able to excercise and can walk and swim everyday. I haven't
been this active in a long time. Many times I wondered if I'd ever get well enough to get to this point again.
I'm not on any medicines right now for AS. Which is amazing, since I do remember the days of Prednisone, Sulfasalizine and Plaquenil. I came as close as I want to go to having to take Methotrexate. I do feel blessed.
I also send my love and hugs to all the AS warriors that are still waging heavy battle with AS. I admire your courage, don't ever give up the fight!!
Perfect days can mean many different things, big or small. Sometimes
a perfect day can be one where we reach a goal. Goals like getting
enough rest, being kind to ourselves, taking the best care of ourselves that we can, and doing a little something that makes someone elses world brighter.
Today I'm painting my living room green. And I love to paint! I've waited a long time to be able to be well enough to do this. And by God it's the best!!
Doesn't get any better!!
Love and Hugs to all,
