Hi Daniella:

I'm doing fine except for my arthritis and scoliosis which flares up when the weather goes nuts. Yesterday I did not know it was going to rain and the pain between my shoulder blades hit me like a ton of bricks. I just moved very carefully. I don't take anything not because I'm a martyr but because I never know when it's going to strike and it does pass. I do very well it hot hot hot weather. I could walk forever in hot hot hot weather. When it's 97 outside I'm a new person.

I don't like cold. I found out I had scoliosis years ago when I would get this pain between the shoulder blades and I went to my doctor and I said "why do I get this pain every once in a while". He sent me for an upper back x-ray and I saw the x-ray on the screen and the technician said to me "you do know you have scoliosis, right?"

I said "I have what??" Then I looked at my x-ray and saw the curve.

I said "oh that's scoliosis".

Nothing can be done at my age so I just take care of myself, walk as much as I can and I live with it.

Best I can do.

Can't wait for summer. I shine in the summer.
