Closing Shop - Temporarily

This blog was never meant to be a place for me to whine about health. I realized that in the last year or so most of my posts have been about exactly that.

This past week has been particularly bad and as I'm trying to recover from a particularly nasty chest cold I got some more bad news. Seems my right hip and left knee are on it's last leg so to speak and I'm looking at many surgeries in my immediate future. Let's see, there is the eye, the foot and now added to the mix are the right hip and knee. My left hip which was replaced four years ago doesn't work as good as it should either. I'm going to start a six day course of high dose Prednisone this week and if that doesn't work the next course of treatment is low dose chemotherapy to try and stop the rheumatoid arthritis from causing more damage.

Then there is still Steve's hand to worry about which will need surgery. We'll find out later this month when that will happen.

This has depressed me to no end and I find I have very little interest in much else. So I'm going to temporarily stop posting here since I don't have anything intelligent to say anyway.

I will however not give up knitting and will continue posting on my other blog whenever there is some new knitting happening.

I hope this feeling of doom and gloom is temporary but for the moment I see my glass as half empty and that is very unusual for me. March being my birthday month is usually my happiest time. Hopefully I'll get my mojo back soon...
