I said to my wife today, as I prepared to get out of my chair, "watch this." And I stood. I didn't have to take 30 seconds to unbend myself, with the pain that comes with that process. Then I walked across the room without looking like a geriatric giraffe. She was stunned. All she could say was, "Happy fuckin' new year."

My psychiatrist prescribes an anti-anxiety med for me, but she cautions me about taking too much, and doesn't even want me to take a single one every day. So I'm going to call her before I see my RA doc next time.

Thanks, DLO.
