Snow Snow Snow

There was supposed to be a post with words today. Y'know... thinking. But I've been crashing for 10 days, winter's giving me some "interesting" pain levels and I don't have the energy. So instead, more photos.

 Canadian winter has come back and is making up for lost time. In the past week, we've had three significant snowfalls (i.e., enough that I'm housebound). It's wearing a bit thing, but I'm enjoying the opportunity to get out there and play with my new camera.

 It all started Boxing Day when we got 10cm, making for a very pretty evening


The next morning, everything was covered


It took a few days before I could go further than the sidewalk in front of my building


 

Yesterday, snowfall #3 arrived, with big fluffy flakes making my little street look more and more like Narnia



Beautiful, cold and a bit of a pain in the arse. Ahh, winter... It's what makes us appreciate summer so much.

Ah, Lene, your photos of the snow are just beautiful. I love the winter, especially when it snows. You make me hope that I can visit Toronto someday--it looks to be a really pretty city.

Happy New Year! I hope you'll be feeling a lot better soon.

Beautiful. You're making me miss the quiet of a freshly snowy day. Such a magical time (brrrr, though).

I love these images. You wield a camera as easily as the words you use!

Hope your joints settle soon.

Beautiful photos. I really love the icicles. Think I'd stay inside in the warm & admire from afar.

Canada looks like a beautiful country.

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

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.

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 .
