Quick Update....
Just a quick update, I am doing well. However, last night was not a good night. We were at a restaurant and I couldn’t turn the pepper mill to grind the pepper. I was trying to put on a brave face but doing it poorly. My husband and brother noticed my frustration. I finally gave up and put the pepper mill down. My husband picked it up and asked if I wanted some more pepper. He was very kind and my brother didn’t say anything.
When we were leaving I was having a difficult time getting all the joints moving then there was the step down and a parking block. I paused before making the step and my brother reached out to hold my elbow. Then my husband turned and offered his hand to steady me. Both gestures were done without me asking, both were done out of kindness.
I guess that is one more side effect of RA – other people get the opportunity to be kind.
