No workouts, but decided to post anyway to let whoever reads this know what is going on.  The latest on my medical.  Dr. Call wanted an MRI on my lower spine and hips to see what is going on there.  Came back the I have narrow spinal nerve canels, which I knew about.  Also some pretty good arthritis in my hip joints.  He talked a little on having this operated on and I pretty much shut him down on that idea.  Maybe as a last resort when I can hardly walk I might consider it, not now.  I took my first injection of the Humira last Tuesday so I really can't say much on how it is working.  Good thing is I only have to take it every two weeks.  Still taking the Methotrexate weekly and IB's as needed.  Pain is still there but it has been tolerable.  I still have this lingering cold that won't go away.  That's the problem with the meds for this diesease, it kill off the white blood cells you need to fight off bad bugs.  I decided to stop exercising to see if it would help me get over the cold.  Well three weeks later I still have the cold and feel even crapper because I haven't been exercising.  Go figure.  On the lighter side:  The grandkids had a great time over the weekend helping Grammy put up the Halloween decorations (she has a lot).  It was a fun time watching them interact with Grammy and seeing the pure joy of children.  Good time, good memories
