New Year Aftermath!

[Juliachoo]

Happy New Year Everyone! We had a brilliant New Years Eve! Feeling fairly well I really went for it. Glad rags on, including the rarely worn heels... I danced the night away to Motown & northern soul while enjoying a good few pink

G & Ts & we “landed” home at 1:30am..

Fast forward New Years Day...feet like barges..knees like footballs but coping.. ooh now today.. all joints hurting & I have given in to a “duvet day” & some painkillers. But you know what? I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Sometimes amongst all the medication & managing our pain & daily lives we forget that we need to “let our hair down” now & again!

We are all RA warriors after all! 🤣🤣🍾🥂

Go girl!!! A woman after my own heart .. you gotta live😁🥂🍾🥳

[Juliachoo in reply to Hidden]

Thank you! We get too wrapped up & bogged down with meds, hospital visits & early nights don’t we ? It does you a world of good to “break the mould” if only for a night! Ouch 🙈🥂🍾

[Kerensa21]

Absolutely, sod pacing 🤣 x

[Juliachoo in reply to Kerensa21]

Haha, yes!💃💃💃

We did same in November (OMD, old 80s group, showing my age there lol) my goodness it was worth it; partial to a bit of Motown & northern soul myself, most music really, good for the soul! Hope you recover soon, it needs doing every now & again 😊👍

[Juliachoo]

Good for you! We’re on the same wave length! It’s so easy to let yourself get “sucked right down” with this demon of a disease! You gotta say to hell with it sometimes 😂😂

[Hidden]

Call me a grumpy old *^% but I don't think it's worth it. But then RA isn't my only bone disease, not to mention my age (68)

[AgedCrone in reply to Hidden]

You are a mere youngster.....live a little...... a duvet day & mind over matter make the odd break out worth it!

[Juliachoo in reply to AgedCrone]

Too true & im not young.. mid sixties xx

Brilliant. I'm feeling rough not for one reason but culmination over the last week. Enjoy your douvet day.

[Juliachoo in reply to Ruth12345]

[Pippy25]

So glad you had a good time. Now rest and recall the memories of a good time had. Cinderella you did go to the ball! Just hope the slippers fit in a short while

[Juliachoo in reply to Pippy25]

[Juliachoo]

Aww that’s brilliant to hear! Good luck & good health to you in 2020! Xx

Good for you I did the same we are in Spain and I dressed up, went to a gala dinner had pink G and T’s and went to bed at 1.30am! My normal routine is work fall in a big heap and bed at 9.30 ish. We have got to live and I for one want to make as many happy memories for 2020. Happy New Year 🥳

[Juliachoo in reply to RA57]

Happy New Year to you too, enjoy Spain we’re going soon xxx

[RA57 in reply to Juliachoo]

Have a great time I have had to bring both my injections this time but all was fine 👍

[Hidden]

Juliachoo catching up with my oldest friends ( known since we were babies) in Feb and I cant wait proseco and spa day and evening out. I dont care -you do need to live and be you!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

We deserve it .. we can’t always do it as often as we like but a blow out now and then is the best medicine

[charisma]

Good for you!

I rather like Mama Mia. I decided to watch it a couple of years ago (almost) and tried joining in the dancing... no use! Go gently, crazy coot, I told myself, lol

I’m still in that ‘ uncontrolled disease with added flare’ stage... but great you were able to have a wonderful time for a while. 😀

[Juliachoo in reply to charisma]

Aww so sorry you’re in that horrid stage, gentle hugs xx
