A Bit Pervy

  
I have no idea what this flower is, but had to photograph it.I'm not sure if it's slightly blush-inducing or an alien.

I think it's a hibiscus-- if so, it's also edible. :)

it does look sort of like a hibiscus, but I don't think it is. It's much bigger, the leaves are different and the flower has a flashiness that I haven't seen in hibiscus

Hibiscus come in many sizes, from the small-flowered bushes we call 'Rose of Sharon' around here to the big tropical dinner-plate sized blossoms my Grandma grew as an 'indulgence' on the farm. the wiki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibiscus ) has quite a variety of photos you can use to compare your flower too, but I really think it is Hibiscus.

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

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.

A Short Interruption

Looking for more posts? You can now find me on the brand new The Seated View website .   I’m beginning to wonder if the so far two-month long Fibro flare is going to be the new normal, at least (hopefully) for the duration of the winter. I’m not enjoying it. Aside from the really high pain levels and decimated energy, there is also the intensely excessive brain fog. I’m surprised I can remember my own name at times. So much is falling through the cracks. Of course, this happens in the middle of trying to finish some things for HealthCentral that I should have done last year (see: my health is in the toilet), a ridiculous number of medical appointments, a couple of big projects on my own plate, plus a small upgrade of The Seated View. And then yesterday, my elbow crapped out to the point where it’s hard to use my arm. Did I mention this was my driving arm, my writing arm, and well… my everything arm? I am so done with this winter. I mean, Christmas is over...
