I imagine it's not the same PSA guys worry about. I've not been able to reach my feet since the early 80's. I see a podiatrist every 9 weeks to trim bunions and other "growths" on my feet, as well as trim the toe nails. .... Hailing taxis is worse that raining cats and dogs. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12

LOL - no, I drifted into the psoriasis world's abbreviation for psoriatic arthritis. Here it's P & PA, psoriasis boards have traditionally used Ps for psoriasis, PsA for psoriatic arthritis, though more and more I'm seeing it without the "s". Interestingly, one of the nurses I had in the hopsital has psoriasis, but had never heard of psoriatic arthritis. Her coverage isn't that extensive, so i guess she's never joined the NPF. She'd know about PA from their pubs if she had. She was the RN overseeing the LPN & aide so i only saw her briefly and didn't get a chance to talk more after she "admitted" to her Ps. > > I've not been able to reach my feet since the early 80's. > I see a podiatrist every 9 weeks to trim bunions and other > "growths" on my feet, as well as trim the toe nails. I'm glad I can still reach my toes as my bunions require some device or another for relief much of the time. Except of course for those times that they absolutely refuse to tolerate any device! I'm adjusting constantly throughout the day. I think I've tried the less invasive therapies for long enough now! I rescheduled my appt. today and they can get me in on the 19th. Not too bad of a delay for rescheduling a new patient appt. -- Nann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive.

(being that I am past the age and well past the weight for a bikini!) I leaned over to wedge someting under a wobbly table leg at lunch today and just about went through the roof from the pain that pressure put on the bruising. But of course I didn't, as we are so practiced at not publicly reacting to pain! -- Nann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive.

It's a bit oranger than Puddin', but truly in the same color class and every bit as cute as our little fellow is, so we decided we now have Puddin' Cat and Puddin' Car.

Yep - it's been over a year since the injection, but the bruise looks just days old. I just pressed it with my fingers and it feels like it's a days-old bruise. Grrrrrrr! I don't like this body!!!
