A Young Wife’s Tale

David’s ribs and neck have been bothering him a lot. The doctor said that even though the ribs aren’t joints, it is in fact arthritis in his ribs. The rheumatologist said he is seeing improvement in David’s Psoriatic Arthritis, just as we are, and in fact, he recommended that David contact Humira and ask them if they will approve David for injections every ten days instead of every fourteen. I imagine this won’t be an issue since they simply ship us whatever the doctor prescribes.

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for:

*My amazing family. David and I could not have survived this year without you.
*David’s Humira
*Our church. Their prayers and encouragment have been invaluable.
*My husband’s employment. I know there are a lot of folks looking for jobs.

Here’s a list of foods you don’t have to chew. It’s handy for people like me with TMJ Disorder, and maybe it would help someone who’s recently had oral surgery.
*Pudding
*Mashed Potatoes
*Egg Drop Soup
*Frozen Yogurt
*Protein Shakes
*Slim Fast

David used to have me walk on his back to get it to pop. However, since he’s starting seeing the chiropractor, he’s only asked me to do it once. Therheumatologist and the chiropractor both said it’s fine for me to walk on David’s back, but I’m always afraid I’ll step on him the wrong way and hit a nerve and paralyze him.
