I have to set my positivity aside for a minute
Ok. I had some good stuff happen to me this week and for that I am truly grateful but I also had something happen that well pretty much made me a little ticked off. So, this journal entry is dedicated to well venting. So hears what grinds my gears (bones actually).
So, it's winter in Kentucky and we had a really bad cold spell. Well this week my hands started hurting really bad. My right hand has stayed swollen, both wrists hurt and my finger on my left is hurting really badly (typing is fun). My hips and a shoulder have started giving me grief and my knee is adding to the fun (going up stairs have been difficult and I live on the second floor so, once I'm home I am home.) I had noticed some pain before and chalked it up to the way that I walk. Well, that does not explain the hands. Here's the frosting on my crazy cake: I only have arthritis in my ankle (it hurts but I expect that). I am going to make an appointment with a Dr.
I expected to be sore in the thighs after walking down twelve stories on Tuesday but this is different.
So I used this journal to vent. That's my gripe. And now I can return to my usual cheery self.

The swelling and pain in your hands could be arthritis as well! I have both RA and OA so I have alot of fun when the weather changes. NOT :) I\'m glad you are going to make an appt with your doctor. Good luck and God bless you!
Thanks. I actually feel better now that I\'ve vented.
