Well the news just gets better and better this month.
first on my birthday my sister calls to tell me she won me tickets to see the Canadian tenors in March. I had wanted to go but would not pay the price for the tickets ( I mean I was just severanced off and was informed no unemployment until Aug 2013).
Next I get a phone call from the disability pension that I applied for and was told that I was approved and should start receiving payments either in Jan or Feb ( this after being told that it would take at least 3-4 months to hear something and I only applied the end of Nov).
Then I had an appointment with my ortho surgeon on Thursday for a reassessment before the manipulation since the knee was bending better and he could not believe how good it is coming along so he put the manipulation on hold and feels that it may not have to be done but did not want to cancel it yet. He wants to check it in another 6 weeks but thinks that it can be cancelled at this time.
Finally I went to physio today and I was informed that I don't have to go back unless I start having problems or the manipulation has to be done.
Oh yes and we don't have any snow yet another plus.
So December is indeed a great month.
Take care Valerie

Glad to hear the good news. Merry Christmas!
Diet change has improved my RA. I feel best eating raw veggies and some fruits and avoiding grains, sugars, nightshades, beans and dairy. Sed rate dropped from 65 to 19, but it took over a year. www.fatsickandnearlydead.com excess fat/oils = pain for me recipes for raw food on Youtube "raw food romance" and "healing josephine" Josephine is in remission from RA after two years by change diet/exercise
