A Conversation with My Mother

   
Me: I couldn't sleep last night because I have this great idea!
Mor: uh-oh...
Me: Why do people make that noise every time I say I have a great idea??
Mor: Because it usually means your workload explodes.
Me: No, no! This one shouldn't take too much work!
Mor: uh-huh.
Me: why do people make that noise every time I say that?

Seriously. Should be a snap!
  
(PS Happy birthday to mor who turned mumblemumble yesterday!)

Thank you for the birthday wishes.
Lene has got great ideas but she's only one person. She should have been cloned at birth, but I did not think far enough ahead. So I just need to put the brakes on her once in a while.

Happy Birthday, Mor!

I, too, didn't think ahead enough, although I think being outnumbered by my daughter and her clone is a very frightening scenario.

Lene, don't try this: Full time job, her own house, 4 dogs, a horse, income tax prep for me (and I don't know how many others, all due April 15th) and getting ready for a two day horse show that starts Friday morning.

Farber’s Disease: Could Your Child’s Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Be Misdiagnosed?

Image
Joint inflammation or contractures. Nodules (small lumps under the skin or in other tissues). A weakened or hoarse voice. Children with these symptoms may have been diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or other types of juvenile arthritis . But do they actually have JIA or do they have Farber’s disease? An equine digression When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras. This is an adage in the medical world that encourages doctors to not wander off exploring rare and esoteric reasons for a patient’s symptoms. Because most of the time, that hoof beat of a rash likely isn’t the plague, the joint pain more likely a type of arthritis than the bends (especially if the person has never scuba dived) and you get the picture. But once in a while, it actually is a zebra. And even if it’s first identified as a horse, eventually, the stripes come through. It took five years of my parents running around to different doctors before one finally recognized that I had...

13 Things to Know for Rheumatoid Arthritis Newbies + Facebook Live

Getting a diagnosis of any type of chronic illness can throw you for loop. There is so much to know and you have so little energy. My new slideshow for HealthCentral collects 13 things you need to know as an RA newbie : "Receiving a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a moment of strange duality. On one hand, you may be relieved to finally have answers for the symptoms you’ve been experiencing. On the other, it can be incredibly overwhelming to find out you have a chronic illness. Wrapping your head around all the new factors RA brings into your life is a long-term process. Here are some of the things you need to know." See the slideshow on HealthCentral . And in case you missed it, here is the Facebook Live I did yesterday talking about this topic:
