I was so busy reading yesterday that I forgot to take my medicine, including my magic arthritis pill. Getting out of bed was so very difficult, yet the remembrance of running out of sick leave last year kept me from even considering remaining at home this day.

Once I get moving, the pain is bearable, but getting moving is challenging. Even now, my wrists are stiff as is my back. The key to ease of movement is keeping up the medicine level in my blood. Tomorrow is sure to be better.

Still, I was able to read all day...a fair price.
