A whacky metaphor(?) for RA sufferers -- or any autoimmune sufferers?! 🤔

. . . the ability of sufferers/ 'walking wounded' to persevere with single-minded determination . . .

😂 😂 😂

(If we didn't laugh, we'd cry . . . )

🤗 Good to hear, DRunnerchick! Sometimes a jolt of laughter's a nice dose of relief (even if only momentary). See if this other snippet 'hits the spot':

Another fine example! I shared these with my daughter (also a Python fan) and we've been quoting "'tis, but a scratch" and "run away" at random moments for two days and just bust out laughing. Thanks Kai!!🤣

👍 Exactly, Tracy127! 🙏 No other choice but to 'push on' . . . 👍 👍

See if this '3 questions' clip 'tickles your funny bone':

Perhaps we could ask our rheumatologist: 'what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow'? 😂 😉
