Some of the soreness has left my fingers but they are still swollen about the same. Day-to-day, RA "... is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." I've been shying away from the computer and just about everything else; even grasping my cell phone has been painful. That's ok though; I could not have understood most of what anyone had to say anyway. Thank all of you for your well wishes while I've been down and I am going to try to to get back into the swing of things with this writing.

I need to get my mind back on seeing that Mark has a chance of being president because uncaring Republicans and swoonfully stupid Tea-bag brains are taking over a big part of our future.

Why does Medicare pay for certain medical procedures, supplies, equipment, and medications, yet will not shell out one dime for preventative care. Hell, we geezers are getting sick because it is the cheapest thing for us to do. After we have a good case of the miserables, Medicare will step in and pay a hundred times as much just to keep us half-way comfortable as they would have paid to keep us from getting sick in the first place. As far as I know, the only preventative medication Medicare pays for is influenza vaccine. Medicare will shell out a fortune to treat diseases such as RA, yet pay nothing to educate us about how is best to live with the disease. Uncle Sam spends billions of tax and borrowed dollars each year for joint replacements but will not fully pay for the necessary medications and will pay nothing for preventatives that can keep many of us mobile and self-reliant for years without expensive surgery. I trust that President-to-be Sevigny and his brain-trust have a proposal(s) to fix Medicare.

Have a good worsh day, my dears.
