There are days where I feel better than I did the day before, but most of the days are just filled with pain and the frustration of dealing with the pain. I do my very best to "mask" the pain and push through for my wife and family. But there are times where I would like to lay in bed and not stress the joints. Try telling an 11 year old that you hurt too much to play catch with him. You know what I do? I play catch and then ice everything down after he goes to sleep. (I have many flexible ice packs in freezer and they get a great deal of use). Hey, some days are better than others. And no, I cannot ride with them om the bicycles, but I can meet them at the park and have a picnic lunch ready. I did that today. "Yes, it could be worse". You know the great thing about all of this, we all know that it will get worse. I have a supportive family, stopped taking any of the drugs the doctors gave me to mask the pain, and am trying to find other alternatives to handle the pain. For now, it is Bio-Freeze, Ice and a lot of fresh fruits. I swear fresh pineapple has done wonders. Since I stopped taking any drugs, I have a fruit salad every morning and I swear by the pineapple as given me back more use of my hands. Well said.
