@nativeoregirl That was uplifting, Deb, and I appreciate the bio also. It sounds like you are basically satisfied with your rheumy, and I'm glad. I'm sure I mentioned it previously...but the taper that worked for me is slow. It is .05mg per month, and if I feel out of sorts, I stay put until I don't. Your job sound so fulfilling, and I bet it makes it easier to push through discomfort sometimes!! What a great feeling to think of how many people you are ultimately helping.
So glad you have family close by as well. I was living alone when first diagnosed, and it can be wonderful, but it is good to have someone close by.
YouTube is the greatest!! There is a Senior Center in my town that has art classes on Wednesdays.
I only started going three weeks ago. Since I had to give up my license three years ago, getting out of the house and being around other people is a delight. I am a real people person...and enjoy socializing. But, you are right...there is more material on the computer than time. I'm happy you wrote...I was concerned. You seem very knowledgeable and in control.💞
