Better,Worse and Uglier?

My new avatar is my 5yr old grandson in his school uniform

Better: New rheumy ( young, female & Austrian--still my beating heart!) concurred with previous decision.... CRP level is at 12.5 ( best for 7 years) and it appears my PMR is becoming dormant (like me --fatigued!). Still the matter of reducing down from 5mg Pred though.

Worse: Still not fully shaken off what was eventually diagnosed as a pulled hamstring. After 40 years of injury-free contact sports I get a sports injury at 68 years old?!?!?! It is no longer as painful so there is an end in sight (apart from DNR).

Uglier: To temper my good mood I am just recovering from a bout of cellulitis on my lymphoedemic legs exacerbated by (wait for it!) the recent spell of very warm weather. What a weird month April has been (snow followed by a week at 29 degrees C followed by spring at a more sedate 12/13 degrees C).

However, my glass is now half-full (as opposed to previously been half-empty; the tunnel light is growing larger and

Awe... Grandson adorable!

Better be careful with the new Rheumy!!! ; } Hahahaha

Worse part is you are now perhaps more susceptible to injury in the hamstring area. : (

Uglier, I imagine, is that warmer weather may be on it's way, but one can never tell!

Hold that half full glass up high and celebrate! Cheers!

Hi,

Better. Still go steady on the reductions, as we know PMR sometimes has other ideas, and you don’t want to resurrect it

Worse. At 68 a sport injury should give you street cred! Don’t mention DNR!

Uglier. Where would be be if we didn’t have the weather to moan about.

Welcome to the glass half-full club! You know it makes sense 🍷

Well he looks like a heart stealer! Lovely.

The suspense is killing “ the tunnel light is growing larger and...............?

Are you still with us?

Sounds positive “ Just a few dollars more”. 😀
