Welcome To The Group Active With Arthritis


We have all heard the statement, “I have arthritis, but it doesn’t have me” This group consists of suggestions for keeping active with arthritis, as well as just having a place to visit about various meds, treatments, and/or life styles that helps. There are so many different types of arthritis, but they generally have one thing in common, they change lives.

Having fun

We had our granddaughter this past weekend. We went to dinner, and boy was she a little lady. She's almost 3 yrs old. Then we went to the park to play. It was Grandpa's job to watch her from up on the towers, I watched her from the ground. I even managed to climb a tire ladder to get into a wooden boat.

We were supposed to watch the fireworks, but she fell asleep right before they went off and the booms didn't wake her!

On Sunday, it was play, play, play! I am just now recovering. I was so tired from all the activity I'm not used to. Sometimes I couldn't stay awake and fell asleep whether I was lying down or sitting in my chair.

All in all we had a wonderful weekend. How did you spend your holiday weekend?
