A Rough Month

Just a month ago I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I've been having a hard time coming to terms with this. It's something I'm going to have to live with for the rest of my life. My joints are so painful that I have a hard time doing anything without a struggle. I can't do normal day to day stuff without paying for it the next day. OTC pain pills are not working. I don't go to the Rheumatologist until the 21st of April. I guess I have to bite the bullet until then.
On another note.
We had a wonderful Easter. Spent it over my brothers most of the day and went to Todd's parents that evening. And the weekend before I took Zoie to the town Easter egg hunt. She got a ticket in one of the eggs that said she won a small prize. It was a little stuffed bunny.
Can ya believe that Zoie is going to be 5 in less than two weeks. She is growing up so fast. She'll be starting kindergarten this fall too. I was so looking forward to going back to work, but I'm not sure where my RA will be at by then. Hopefully I can get a good medication to put it into remission.
I'll post some pictures to recap on the month of March later. The connection is acting up.
