Prayer Request and Summer Thoughts!

As most of you know, I have rheumatoid arthritis. I agreed with my dr. to give Humira a try.
I will have my 4th injection next week. My request is that I do not become ill in the next week. If I were to become ill, I will not be able to have the injection.

Humira can lower my immunity. So there are times where my friends don't see me at church. This is a hard road to go because I feel isolated and it keeps me from where I like to be most, with friends who are my family!

Summer is coming! I love summer! :) I like to sit outside on my porch swing, watching and listening: seeing the sunshine, hearing the birds chirp their little birdie songs, and the laughter of the children in our neighborhood as they have fun playing games.

My hope that this summer I will be able to do a couple things. I would like to take my little dog Arthur for a walk around the block. For me to do this would be so nice. I have arthritis in my feet, of all places, can you imagine! The other thing would be to do some gardening. I love gardening. But squatting to plant, or kneeling, is a challenge.

I guess my hope is to be more active this summer, instead of being an audience to everything that is going on around me.

Could you keep those things in your mind about me?

I am currently in Physical Therapy. I am hoping this will help me get ready for summer.

My doctors, would like me to move around a bit more also. I have told them what the problem is and they are working with me to get me to where I can do the things I like to do again.

Thank you for your prayers.
