Hi Joan,
Just as we were getting used to the cool weather, here comes the hot stuff again. I guess thats what living in New England is all about.
It must be fun going to the football games. I am a big football fan. Patriots all the way. My husband thinks I am crazy. I yell and scream at the tv, put on my Patriots shirts. I have such a good time and while Iam watching, I don't think about the pain as much. If we go to the Superbowl, I'll have a big Superbowl party. I am praying that I can have that party this year. My daughter is coming over tonite, Iam going to see if she can show me how to send a picture of the kids to your e-mail. Its great to see the babies on the ultrasound. I always get so excited at those Dr. visits. I have all their pictures that they take. You must be so excited! Try to stay cool.

I Got Interested In Football When My Grandsons Started Playing At High School And I Do Enjoy It But I Am Not As Enthusiastic As You Are!!! Ha! I Am Into The Red Sox Right Now. But I Will Follow The Patriots In The Fall. I Will Picture You In Your Shirt Yelling At The Tv!!!
I Was In The Ac Most Of Today. Way Too Hot For My Feet.
Tell Your Daughter Thank You For The Pics!!!
Much Love, Your Hip Sister, Joan

HI Joan,
Boy it was so hot wasn't it. It bothers my feet too. They swell up so fast. We are going to the kids house again today. Its going to be good to get out. My husband has been home for 4 days without going anywhere. He is driving me crazy. Have a good day and stay cool. Its supposed to get cooler tommorow. I can't wait.

Love
Your "hip sister"

hi sue,
here's hoping it cooled off for you, and that your husband got the heck out of the house for a while. maybe you could go to a library or some where like that for some quiet time.
my feet swell badly in the humidity too, and if the barometer changes rapidly.
well tomorrow is my grandson's [the one who lives with me] first day back at school! isn't it grand!!! ha! and he will have football everyday after school until 5:30. oh glorious peace!!! now i need to get my sewing done for my daughter's shower! never a dull moment.
love, your hip sister, joan

Hi Joan,
Alex goes home today. I love him to death but I just don't have the paitence I used to have. Ive been feeling very iritable latley. Mabey because my husband is still home. He's driving me crazy. i need my alone time. My leg has also been acting up. I don't know about you, but I get so sick of this RSD sometimes. I go to the Docs today. Iam going to talk to them about my mood. I hop your well. Its going to be a hot one today. Kepp cool.

Sue

hi sue,
i know the feeling well. i get irritable just from noise sometime, it is because we are in pain and already using all we have to deal with that. and i don't know how to handle not being alone sometimes. it is a necessity to me to be alone and just hear nothing.
as far as kids go, like i said, they give us good feeling while they take our last ounce of energy. it is not patience or love you are lacking, it is just that your body and mind and spirit are over taxed.
i am here for you my friend, your hip sister, joan

Joan,
I am so glad your here. I told the nurse about you yesterday.I don't know what I'd do without you. I didn't know about your other foot. Iam sorry. I know that this is RSD in my foot. It feels just like the other one did. Your right about alone time. I get so anxious when ther are alot of people around. The noise just drives me crazy. I got your-mail. Its hot here too. I don't usually wish for rain, but i am today. Maybey it will cool it off. Stay well my friend.
Your 'hip sister"
Sue
