Wednesday

 Hi Everyone!

Not 100% yet, lupus has attacked my shoulder. I'm not good with a sling. But, I'm resting the arm and doing PT exercises. This has happened to my shoulder several times so I do know what to do. 

My shoulder pops and feels like it is out of joint. And hurts like a son of a gun.

This isn't a lupus post but there are a lot of people with lupus that don't it. They, and their doctor's, think what ever is happening in the body is an isolated incident. When in reality, painful joints can be a sign of autoimmune. A story that came over my lupus group today was about a man with painful knees. He was told it was arthritis. His knees were drained. OMG! that sound awful. This was done several more times before he was finally diagnosed with lupus. I'm not saying that every ache and pain is an autoimmune, what I am saying if you have persistent pain, that doctors don't know what it is or keep trying the same procedures and it doesn't fix it. Demand, blood work for autoimmune. P.S. men get diagnosed faster than women.

What I wanted to show today was some pretty flowers that are finally taking hold in the garden. 

Borage is in several places in my yard. 

 

Bee pollinating squash.	Morning Glory coming back to life.
Morning Glory	Morning Glory and Oregano
I have 3 types of lavender in the garden.	Lavender blooming
Salvia	Zinnia

 

The Zinnia's are finally blooming. 

Ohhhh and I harvested another 

Brussel Sprout. 

So strange harvesting it this time of year. 

We have eaten a lot of BS and they are sweet as can be.
 

All I can think is the roots would make great hair for an art piece.  

That's it for now. My arm needs to go back into the sling.

Have a great day.
