I didn’t realize you spoke Spanish. ¡Estoy aprendiendo español! Flares are awful. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it either. I left work with tears streaming down my face the other day. It was so embarrassing! It’s so good to read your positive insight to these things!

RA Guy,

I just discovered your site a few days ago. It’s the middle of the night, I read your post about your flare and the call to your mother, then your mother’s reply. I guess this comment is for your mother, I admire her for being able to be so far away and still be strong and a comfort to you.

I have been living with RA for six years now, tonight’s a bad night. Pain, can’t sleep…But that’s not what I want to share with you and your mother.

My oldest son has been living with Type I Diabetes since he was seven years old. As a parent of a now adult child with a chronic illness I do understand what it is to be on the other end of the telephone. I understand…

RA Guy, you’re my super hero…

What a beautiful post. Love the descriptive contrasts between two lands and it’s relation to how we handle RA’s attack on our lives and our senses. I lived overseas for five years and will never forget the shock of returning to the states once I exited the airport. I felt bombarded by endless shopping, eating and billboards shouting their ads at me. I was horrified. I am in Texas now and the landscape is covered in retail. If you miss Target at one exit–just keep driving–another will soon appear! So sad…

I pray this finds you feeling much better today. I completely understand the comfort one can find when phoning mom. There’s just nothing like it.

Stopped by to check on you and let you know I have two awards for you at my blog.

Christy, Good luck with that last wish/statement (i.e. “Maybe next time I move, RA won’t be able to find my new address!)…such a clever, clever thought.
