Hi TT...that is a very thoughtful insight! Sorry to hear you've been through somewhat of the same. Seems as though I think a lot like you! I won't feel so bad about myself now when I need to shutdown. I was able to get my levels checked today and will know by Sunday. I am very sensitive to cortisone, and have stayed away from it as much as I can, but, unfortunately the need became too great with upper trochanter bursitis in my hip and a bad acv joint in my shoulder on the same side. Really don't want to have another shoulder surgery.

Truly, there is a positive side if we can just see it. I think a lot about archtypal patterns in humanity as a whole and it's spiritual evolution. When I can type with more than one finger... I will share a piece of poetry with you that I feel you will be able to appreciate! Thank you so much for the understanding and support!

Love and ((((hugs))))) to my friends here!!
