Time

Do you ever think... you're in a race against time? More than most people. Like everything speeds up when you have a progressive disease. I can't stop. I don't remember the last time I took some time out, I'm so afraid to stay still. I don't know if that's a bad thing. Maybe it's a blessing, knowing that everything is so fragile. Or maybe it's just Saturday night and I'm just drunk and rambling...

  2. This is why I keep getting injured - I feel like everything's a rush, like I need to do as much as I can before the next flare hits. Which pretty much guarantees I'll have to take several days to heal, whereas working within my limits would enable me to do something every day, yet, there's this sense of urgency. I call it Living Under the Shoe (as in waiting for the other show to drop).

  3. That's exactly how I feel. It seems like we only have so long until we can't do things anymore. I have no intention of slowing down and missing out on all the things I love, because of RA.

    I love hiking and exploring. If/when the time comes that I can't do that anymore, I don't know what'll happen.

  4. Unfortunately, I think we all feel this way quite a bit. For me, My body in 10- years has drastically changed. It's now hitting my hands and my feet. It's been in my legs (femur and tibia pain). Feel better. Tazzy

  7. My worst fear is becoming one of those 'sickly' women in Jane Austin novels. You know, the ones who are there on the edge and never quite join in with the plot because of their delicate disposition.

    There's the saying "Dance like no-one is watching" I dance like I may never dance again.
