Arthritis Awareness Week...

Spetember 21st-28th 2010

 

Good Health is a Precious Treasure...

Not to be taken for granted...

You never know when it may be taken away from you...

Make the most of every day while you can.

 

This week is Arthritis Awareness Week.

It is a disease that takes many shapes and forms...

Affect the Old and the Young...

And like many debilitating diseases...

You don't truly understand it's effects...

Until it hits you personally.

 

In the past 2 years I've had the misfortune of becoming one of it's victims...

with two forms or Arthritis in my neck and thoracic spine.

Watched my Father suffer badly in my younger days too...

but never truly appreciated it at the time...

The constant pain and discomfort that he suffered.

I am also now watching my Mother suffer it's effects too.

 

Like everything... you learn to just live with it...

It's not life threatening... just a bit of a 'pain'!

But it sure does zap the life force out of you at times!

That is one of the reasons I've not been around so much lately...

Been going through a bit of a bad patch!

 

My thoughts go out to all of you out there who are afflicted with this disease...

Get a hold of this book if you can... It's got a wealth of wonderful and helpful information! %-)
