Well I'm securely holding my own.  My usual stubborness to accept defeat over Lupus is helping a lot. My 24/7 issues are my wrist pain and my left hip and knee.  But I've been doing a lot of meditating & communicating with the Lord.  For whatever his reasons this is where he wants me to be right now.  I've been receiving lots of messages fr him and I've said I don't know if I've got the energy to hold onto his wishes.  I miss my powerwalks in the morning and my general overall exercising is cut back.  I'm starting again (exercise) this wk regardless of any pain and/or discomfort & will work around it.  I've still got my Tai Chi classes Tues a.m. so thats good at least. I'm hoping that my disasterous bone density has something to do with this overall & it will be interesting to see what my Rheumy says when I see him on the 16th. We shall keep fighting!!!!
