October 23 - The Day












My surgery is finally done - spent 3 days at the hospital - It was so painful and the pain medication made me so sick - My son came to spend a week at home with me. My friend Paul is the Vice president of the Surgery Dept .. He was wonderful and was there checking on me all day and they treated me as a VIP.

My director Deb and Steve sent me the most beautiful roses when I got home . Flowers do make you feel better. Thank you

Thank you to my Coral Gables Women's Clubs buddies for all your prayers.


It was scary because I had not seen my hand for a week . The bandages looked like a big snowball as you can see by the pictures - I am showing before and after pictures and also X rays. Rheumatoid Arthritis is like a parasite alien living inside you destroying bones, tendons cartilage little by little.
I have a very long challenging road ahead of me with physical therapy at least for 6 months .
I am living just one day at a time. Everyone on the pageant voyboards have been so supportive with prayers and good wishes. Thank you my pageant sisters. Thank you to my family and friends . It is time like these that I realize how lucky I am to have you .
