Well, I went to that wedding this weekend. Had a great time. Pictures to follow tomorrow, I brought the camera to download the pictures but I forgot the cord! Duh!
Anyways, the groom of all people stepped on the top of my foot. It hurt like heck but I was pretty boozed up, luckily! I figured yesterday after looking at it that it was broke as I can't move two toes and its black and blue and hurts. I had an appt scheduled this am with the rheumy and he x-rayed it and confirmed the second metatarsal on the top of my foot is cracked. My bones are thin and brittle from the RA. He didn't put it in a cast because I've had the RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) before and he said if he casts it, I'll probably get it again so, I'm hobbling around at work without any shoes on! Luckily, I had my toe nails done for the wedding, so at least my toes are cute!    Gotta look for the positive!
As far as the RA goes, going to increase the Imuran, stay on the Ebrel injections and placquenil and he is having me stay on 5mg of prednisone (a steroid) for at least another month. He thinks at 5mg, I might be able to avoid the moon face, hump back, acne, excessive facial hair growth, glaucoma, and osteoporosis that go along with the steroids however he said to watch my weight closely because even at 5mg, people tend to gain weight, a LOT of weight. Wonderful, well, if I have to choose between fat and being in pain and not being able to move, I guess being fat is better.
