This morning I woke up to a feeling of dampness, and no, it wasn't what you think it was, it was rain! Despite yesterday being a pretty decent day, I guess in the night it clouded up and was raining pretty good! I stood for a second and just breathed in the good fresh air that a rain usually brings! Then when I went back to bed I felt pretty good! Of course just having the door open that much brought the fresh air into the house too!!! Seems like so many people these days have arthritis! And the sufferers seem to be getting younger! Could it be diet, or lack of exercise, or what? I know people who always seem to be eating the best healthy food and doing a lot of exercise, etc. and still they are complaining about having either back pain or leg cramps or some other pain someplace! Arms, hands, etc. In fact I came in here today to my computer because using this seems to limber up my poor hands! And yesterday and today I have been having pains in the joints of my fingers!!! My mother when she lived with me complained about pains in her toes, (I get those too!) and in her elbows and then in her shoulders. Not so much "charley horses"! And my legs are usually what bother me. My sister Genevieve, when she was alive had terrible pain in her hands as did my sister Teresa! Teresa was so crippled up with this stuff! My boys, from Les on down to Steve are complaining about "back trouble"! There is medicines out there for it but the only thing that works for me is Tylenol. I am allergic to so many of the other medications. Steve was telling me that he has been literally downing Ibuprofin this past week because of the pain. And yes we are all weather forecasters with it! A drop in atmospheric pressure and the pain begins!!! And the funny part is they, the pains begin about a week ahead of a good storm! Wind, rain, or whatever!!!! Enough about this and my complaining! My fingers have loosened up and I've run out of gripe material! Enjoy the "good weather" wherever you are , guys and gals! Winter will be here before you know it!
