And quite honestly, my love of reading, history, and maps all work well with my love of genealogy. So, I figured I'd share some of my Goodreads bookshelves. I have a number of genres I love. Romances, historical novels, historical romances (especially Regency and Victorian eras), mysteries, fantasy, paranormal, time travel and even a number of YA series I still go back and read. Even better if you can combine genres, like say genealogical mysteries, or even genealogical mysteries with a bit of paranormal. My TBR on Goodreads is at 2400+ (I mistakenly thought it was over 2800 but realized that was the combined number of want to read books and read books). <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiDcECNoJxrmnuddf3NO-D8raC3y-awvY5wIH8ejH6pQU5sRQz5rzzHrfRsmqicqUD3gP_lQLCEbRmBciUxLI4SDicTH0E4UygkY4r4ElMB0HuEkHJQS4mWvIN-uxM48OC9qOvbx0cWoSjyLRrd9nAjNkBE_iqvZvs5AbNTP5lP-vmcB0v74Q/s1000/anne.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="1000" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiDcECNoJxrmnuddf3NO-D8raC3y-awvY5wIH8ejH6pQU5sRQz5rzzHrfRsmqicqUD3gP_lQLCEbRmBciUxLI4SDicTH0E4UygkY4r4ElMB0HuEkHJQS4mWvIN-uxM48OC9qOvbx0cWoSjyLRrd9nAjNkBE_iqvZvs5AbNTP5lP-vmcB0v74Q/w640-h224/anne.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_shelves/416658385" target="_blank">Anne of Green Gables & Avonlea</a> <br /><p style="text-align: justify;">Lucy Maud Montgomery's beloved Anne of Green Gables series along with the Chronicles of Avonlea and other Avonlea related series. <br /><br /></p>

Plus, a LOT of my research on Mom's side is on my old PC and hopefully I can pull stuff from it at some point. Or it's in storage. Anyway...I've posted about the Zanes, specifically my 4th great-grandfather Jonathan and his brothers and sister before. I meant to post this on 4 June but forgot and the reminder I had in my calendar was on the wrong date. I'll probably change the date on the post later on. </div>

So Jonathan Zane. I've found info where he took part in Aug. 1774 Wakatomika (sometimes spelled Wapatomika) Campaign, the defense of Fort Henry (Wheeling, WV) in both Sept. 1777 and Sept. 1782, Gen. Daniel Broadhead's 1779 expedition up the Allegheny River against the Munsie and Seneca Indians (where he had a minor wound), the Crawford Exepdition (25 May-12 June 1782), and the Coshocton Campaign under Col. David Shepherd in 1791. Most of the campaigns, he's simply listed as a guide, but the Coshocton Campaign, he is listed as a spy. All this after helping settle Wheeling in 1769/70. In the past, I came across a song about Crawford's Sandusky Campaign. "Crawford's Defeat by the Indians". It mentions Zane in the song, although the broadside printing spells his name Zeans. <br />
One thing the Wiki says about the song is the following: </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
As for what tune, or tunes, "Crawford’s Defeat" was originally performed to, that is impossible to determine unless a broadside were to surface with the melody indicated. Even so, we could only be sure of one tune to which the ballad was sung. Still, the meter is a common one, and there are many tunes that would fit nicely with the words. Based on the rhythm of the lyric, "Crawford’s Defeat" could very easily be contained in a 3/4 or 6/8 time signature. In his "Historical Account of the Expedition Against Sandusky," Consul Willshire Butterfield indicates that the vast majority of the volunteers were of Scotch-Irish descent.[7] Thus, it's likely that whatever tune "Crawford’s Defeat" was originally performed to was a popular Scottish or Irish folk song; for instance, a song such as "Last May A Braw Wooer," "Kellyburn Braes," "Bonnie Dundee," "Bonnie Strathyre," Or Even "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms." </blockquote>

And then it also mentions there's only one known recording of the song. "The only known recording of "Crawford’s Defeat by the Indians" was performed by Jaclyn Bradley Palmer & Ceud Mìle Fàilte in preparation for the 230th anniversary of the Crawford Expedition. It is based on the familiar melody of "Bonnie Dundee" and includes a brief interlude, "Fortune Favours the Strong," written by Paul Kirk, who plays fiddle on the recording." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below are two copies of the lyrics to the song, with slight differences. The Wiki about the song does state: "Stanza Seventeen incorrectly states 'all that’s able to go, the rest we
must leave.' Crawford's orders specified that the wounded were to be
transported, either on horseback or by bier. None were to be left behind
on the retreat, which began after dark on the night of June 5."

These last two items are from the book listed below. And I'm throwing them in just because they discuss the kind of man Jonathan Zane was. They aren't specific to the Crawford Expedition. In fact the first page is about the Wakatomika Campaign in 1774. The second on is a bit of a bio on him (I do have the pages on his brothers as well that I may end up sharing in later things). And does mention a bit about the Crawford Expedition. It also lists his children. He had both a brother (1753-1816)), a son (1778-1815), and an uncle (1710-1795) all named Isaac. The brother is known for marrying Myeerah, the daughter of Chief Tarhe. I am descended through his son Issac and Isaac's wife Mary French Zane. They died in 1815 (cholera or yellow fever epidemic) and Jonathan and his son Asa were granted custody of the children (yes I have a scan of the probate and guardian record from Muskingum Co. OH!!!). </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I have friends on both sides of the debate about NFL players kneeling during the anthem so I am sure this post will anger someone. But it won't be the first time nor will it likely be the last time. I do not consider myself to be particularly political. I identify neither with Democrats nor Republicans as political parties. I fall rather in the middle in the liberal vs. conservative debate (some issues I lean more to the liberal side of things while others I am more likely to side with conservatives). I do think the government is too much into the private lives of the citizens. I do not think they should tell us how (or even whether) to worship. I do not think the government needs involved in the love lives of its citizens. I prefer my health care to decisions to be between doctors and patients, not doctors, patients and the government (even when they're the insurer as they are for me). I'm torn on other issues because they are something good for the citizens but horrible in that they will bring the government even more into our private lives. I do not like strangers telling me what is right for me. So why do I think I should decide what is right for others? I don't. I am patriotic. Even I tend to stand during the anthem in spite of the pain and other problems it causes. I highly respect the members of our military and the risks they take for the citizens of the US and protecting our freedoms. While I may have never served (I couldn't have even if I wanted to due to all of my health issues), there is a long history of service members on both sides of my family dating back to the Revolutionary War. I've largely avoided all of the debate over this who kneeling during the anthem issue. But a Twitter post from a third generation veteran got me to thinking yesterday and this is the result. I decided to sleep on it before posting it to see if I still felt strongly about it. And in spite of the people I may anger, I'm posting it. </span></div>

You'll notice I don't call them "NFL heroes". I don't consider them (or any other teams of sports or stars for that matter) to be particularly heroic as a whole. Heroism is NOT getting paid millions to entertain or chasing a ball on a field while running from other players. Heroism is: 1. Heroic conduct or behavior. 2. Heroic characteristics or qualities; courage. A hero is: 1. A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life. The etymology of the word "hero" ultimately comes from Greek.

How is running down a field, chasing others while trying to get a ball in an end-zone a "feat of nobility and courage"? No, it's more talent and practice rather than heroism. But considering them heroes or not aside, this whole debate has gotten me thinking. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Now, I am usually able to separate my personal feelings about a lot of subjects from my feelings on the rights of others to express their opinions on those subjects, even differing ones. I fully think that the fabric of our nation is built on the right of all citizens to certain freedoms, one of them being freedom of speech. Evelyn Beatrice Hall (writing as S.G. Tallentyre) probably said it best (in a quote usually misattributed to Voltaire) in her work, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Life of Voltaire</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> (p. 199): "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." I do not have to agree with someone to defend their right to express their opinion on an issue. And while I might not find kneeling during the anthem tasteful or something I would do, I recognize that others disagree. I see whether someone salutes the flag or not as an expression of freedom of speech (more on that below). To me on a personal, it's disrespectful to those who fought to protect that flag not to show respect for the flag, but that is my personal opinion. I also see the other side. I understand that others do not feel the same and see it as a form of nonviolent protest and/or freedom of speech. As freedom of speech, whether I find it right or not, I will defend their right to engage in that freedom. Those who fought to protect the flag, did so for what it symbolizes, which is not just our country but the principles it was founded upon and the freedoms we have. Freedoms we have because of the sacrifices of many who stood and fought for that flag. Those who fought, did so to protect our rights to the freedoms we have in this country as symbolized by the flag. So being hateful to people who are expressing those freedoms is also disrespectful to those who fought to give us those freedoms. In a way it is saying, "Yes many have fought for the freedoms we have but your way of expressing that freedom is different than mine and therefore your way is wrong." I saw at least one post by a Vietnam vet who said he spent years in the military to protect the rights of others, even those who want to kneel during the anthem.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I wanted to know what US law says about the anthem, the flag, and how freedom of speech fits into those laws. So I consulted the US Code of Laws (published by the US House of Representatives on the Office of Law Revision Counsel site on the United States Code). It is a handy searchable list of all kinds of laws with updates etc. Title 36, § 3-301 pertains to the national anthem, while Title 4, §§ 1-1-10 pertain to the flag (with sec. 8 titled "Respect for the Flag").</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The law about the anthem is fairly clear. In section 3-301, the first part is about when the anthem is played when the flag is displayed. That part states (subsections A & B pertain to individuals in the military and veterans) in subsect. C: "all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart". The second part is about the anthem without the flag being displayed and it states: "when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed." So quite technically, yes, standing during the anthem is required by law. That is pretty clear wording. But, we also have to take into account freedom of speech and later rulings by the Supreme Court. Standing during the anthem is a form of salute (to the flag if displayed) and as if to the flag if it is not displayed but that wording is limited to during the anthem being played.</span></div>

But US courts have long debated what constitutes freedom of speech. Here are some things the US courts consider freedom of speech covered by the First Amendment (along with the cases that led to the decision): Freedom of speech includes the right:</span></div>

As a Twitter post by HennyWise shows, there are numerous examples of using the flag in a way that goes against US Code of Law. But do most of you complain about those infractions? Somehow I doubt it. I certainly haven't seen a flurry of outraged posts about the flag being carried flat, used as apparel, used for advertising, or on athletic uniforms. How many of you complaining about the NFL players who are kneeling during the anthem break those same portions of code, whether inadvertently or intentionally? So why complain when others do it in a different manner? Is that not a double standard?

But hey, who cares if those groups/companies do it (and profit from it) but it makes perfect sense to vilify the players who kneel, right? </span></div>

We can have intellectual individualism and the rich cultural diversities that we owe to exceptional minds only at the price of occasional eccentricity and abnormal attitudes. When they are so harmless to others or to the State as those we deal with here, the price is not too great. But freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So way back in 1943 (during a time of rather high patriotic fervor since we were in the middle of WWII) the Supreme Court recognized that forcing unity on citizens would lead to more strife. Sounds a lot like what is happening right now. Strife over the flag, over statues, over the racial divide where our president condemns football players for non-violent (albeit disrespectful to many) protests but seems to have less of a problem with Neo-Nazi hate speech? A non-violent protest is somehow more deserving of harsh criticism than hate speech that prompted violence?</span></div>

Johnson case. "No one was physically injured or threatened with injury, though several witnesses testified that they had been seriously offended by the flag burning." To justify the conviction, the state of Texas "asserted two interests: preserving the flag as a symbol of national unity and preventing breaches of the peace." How did the court react? "The Court of Criminal Appeals held that neither interest supported his conviction." The next part gets even more interesting. </span></div>

Barnette, 319 U. S. 624 (1943), suggested that furthering this interest by curtailing speech was impermissible. 'Recognizing that the right to differ is the centerpiece of our First Amendment freedoms,' the court explained, 'a government cannot mandate by fiat a feeling of unity in its citizens. Therefore, that very same government cannot carve out a symbol of unity and prescribe a set of approved messages to be associated with that symbol when it cannot mandate the status or feeling the symbol purports to represent."</span></div>

And in fact, the court emphasized, the flag burning in this particular case did not threaten such a reaction. "Serious offense' occurred," the court admitted, "but there was no breach of peace, nor does the record reflect that the situation was potentially explosive. One cannot equate 'serious offense' with incitement to breach the peace."</span></div>

[emphasis added]” In 1969, the court ruled "a State may not criminally punish a person for uttering words critical of the flag." and concluded that "the constitutionally guaranteed 'freedom to be intellectually . . . diverse or even contrary,' and the 'right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order,' encompass the freedom to express publicly one's opinions about our flag, including those opinions which are defiant or contemptuous."

If destroying or disfiguring the flag does not "affect the symbol" of the flag, how does kneeling rather than saluting it "affect the symbol" of the flag? Another point it raises is, "</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">While flag desecration -- like virulent ethnic and religious epithets, vulgar repudiations of the draft, and scurrilous caricatures -- is deeply offensive to many, the Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> [emphasis added]." Hmm. So the Supreme Court ruled that just because members of society find something offensive, it does not mean the government can prohibit it. So why are we arguing about this still?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ultimately, the court said, "The State's argument cannot depend here on the distinction between written or spoken words and nonverbal conduct. That distinction, we have shown, is of no moment where the nonverbal conduct is expressive, as it is here, and where the regulation of that conduct is related to expression, as it is here." So if burning the flag is covered as nonverbal conduct covered by the First Amendment, how is kneeling different? It's not desecration of the flag. Not destroying the flag. The act of kneeling itself is non-violent. It is disagreeable to many but even the Supreme Court acknowledges that the government cannot prohibit expression simply due to the distaste of society. These issues have already been fought over in the Supreme Court more than 20 ago years and decided. So why are people judging those players for their freedom of speech? Oh I forgot.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We're largely a nation that claims to be Christian but yet we are so very judgmental of those who do not believe exactly as we do. even among various sects of "Christianity" there is quite a lot of disagreement about beliefs. Everyone is SO sure their form of Christianity is right. That might explain the tendency to judge everyone else by our own personal moral standards and interpretations of law and scripture. Hmmm. For the Christians who are judging the NFL players, I have some comments. "Judge not, that you be not judged....First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." (Matthew 7:1-5 NKJV). In this portion, Jesus was discussing the judgment and reproof the scribes and Pharisees engaged in. Those same scribes and Pharisees "who were very rigid and severe, very magisterial and supercilious, in condemning all about them, as those commonly are, that are proud and conceited in justifying themselves." (Matthew Henry). Jesus teaches against that very behavior as well as the hypocrisy of pointing out the sins of others while ignoring our own. Hmmm. rigid and severe can definitely describe much of the outlash against the NFL players! And later, in John (vv. 1-9), when a group of men brought a woman to Jesus saying she had been caught in adultery (I always wondered where the other party she was caught in adultery with was and why they weren't facing being stoned too) and should be stoned because the "law commanded it", Jesus stoops down and begins to write something. As they continue to question Him, He says, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” and again writes something on the ground. The accusers were "convicted by their conscience" and all left. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin: 4.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So in light of letting "he who is without sin" throw the first stone, I have some questions for all of those who are judging and criticizing the NFL players. How many of you see no issue with the flag being displayed flat as shown in the stadium pictures? Who among the complainers have articles of clothing with flags on them and feel those are perfectly fine expressions of patriotism? Are all of you complaining about how disrespectful it is to kneel during the anthem going to stop supporting or buying anything from anyone who uses it for advertising as a matter of principle? Are you willing to stop buying flag themed home goods and party decorations? Or no longer support athletic teams who put it on their uniforms (hmmm wonder if there are high schools who display the flag on their uniforms but it's ok for them right?) How many of you that are critical of the players stand when you hear the national anthem as you're watching the start of the game on TV? Or are you too busy chatting with your friends and stuffing your face? Are we going to stop attacking each other and fighting over what amounts to freedom of speech and start worrying about real problems? I also wonder when some issue of moral outrage pops up to divide the nation and draws the focus of the citizens, what else is going on that the citizens are not paying attention to because they are focused on something that quite honestly has been debated and ruled on by the courts decades ago? While I personally find not standing during the anthem distasteful, I will defend the right of others to non-violently protest and kneel as their right of freedom of speech. </span></div>

<b>Day 2:</b> Think of your ancestor as a character in a
novel, and describe him or her in a few short paragraphs. What color are
her eyes? What is she wearing? How does she carry herself? What kind of
voice does she have?<br />
<br />
Thinking of an ancestor as a character in a novel is easy when said ancestor IS a character in a novel. The above illustration is Howard Chandler Christy's interpretation of how Jonathan Zane looked. Jonathan Zane was my 4th great-grandfather on my Dad's side. Jonathan, along with his older brothers Col. Ebenezer Zane and Silas Zane, settled Wheeling, WV in 1769 along with some others from the Moorefield, Hardy Co. WV area. Of course both were in VA at that time. Wheeling was first called Zanesburg but they changed it at some point. I've also seen his character described in other books. Since I know better than to inadequately try to better what someone has done, I will describe him as quoted.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Two men in the brown garb of woodsmen approached. One approached the travelers; the other remained in the background, leaning upon a long, black rifle.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Thus exposed to the glare of the flames, the foremost woodsman presented a singularly picturesque figure. His costume was the fringed buckskins of the border. Fully six feet tall, this lithe-limbed young giant had something of the wild, free grace of the Indian in his posture.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He surveyed the wondering travelers with dark, grave eyes.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
— <i>The Last Trail, </i>Zane Grey</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
At one point in the book, his own brother says, "Jonathan does not seem to realize that women exist to charm, to please, to be loved and married. Once we twitted him about his brothers doing their duty by the border, whereupon he flashed out: 'My life is the border's: my sweetheart is the North Star!"<br /><br />Zane Grey describes the brothers as similar in appearance. "Colonel Zane laid his hand on his brother's shoulder, and thus they stood for a moment, singularly alike, and yet the sturdy pioneer was, somehow, far different from the dark-haired borderman."<br />
<br />
And the woman in the book who falls in love with him, describes him as follows:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He was clad from head to foot in smooth, soft buckskin which fitted well his powerful frame. Beaded moccasins, leggings bound high above the knees, hunting coat laced and fringed, all had the neat tidy appearance due to good care. He wore no weapons. His hair fell in a raven mass over his shoulders. His profile was regular, with a long, straight nose, strong chin, and eyes black as night. They were now fixed intently on the valley. The whole face gave an impression of serenity, of calmness.<br />Helen was wondering if the sad, almost stern, tranquility of that face ever changed, when the baby cooed and held out its chubby little hands. Jonathan's smile, which came quickly, accompanied by a warm light in the eyes, relieved Helen of an unaccountable repugnance she had begun to feel toward the borderman. That smile, brief as a flash, showed his gentle kindness and told that he was not a creature who had set himself apart from human life and love.</blockquote>
— <i>The Last Trail</i>, Zane Grey <br />
<br />
In Myers' History of West Virginia, Sylvester Myers quotes<br />
De Hass' Extracts from Withers' Border Wars<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
Ebenezer Zane's Brothers.<br />(De Hass' Extracts from Withers' Border Wars.)<br />In the spring of 1771 Jonathan and Silas Zane visited the west and made explorations during the summer and fall of that year. Jonathan was, perhaps, the most experienced hunter of his day in the west. He was a man of great energy of character, resolution, and restless activity. He rendered, efficient service to the settlements about Wheeling in the capacity of sp3^ [<i>sic</i>] He was remarkable for earnestness of purpose and energy and inflexibility of will, which often manifested itself in a way truly astonishing. Few men shared more of the confidence and more of the respect of his fellow men than Jonathan Zane. He was one of the pilots in Crawford's expedition, and it is said, strongly admonished the unfortunate commander against proceeding; as the enemy were very numerous and would certainly defeat him. He died in Wheeling, at his residence, a short distance above the site of the old first ward public school. He left large landed possessions, most of which were shared b}^ [<i>sic</i>] his children.</blockquote>
Benjamin Blumel, in <i>The Zanes: A Frontier Family</i>, also quotes Withers, saying, "The brothers, Ebenezer, Silas and Jonathan, who settled Wheeling, were also men of enterprise, tempered with prudence, and directed by sound judgment. Ready at all times, to resist and punish the aggression of the Indians, they were scrupulously careful not to provoke them by acts of wanton outrage, such as were then too frequently committed along the frontier."<br /><br />Blumel also quotes a genealogical manuscript by Alma A. Martin, saying, "While Jonathan Zane was involved in many battles with the Indians he did not consider himself an Indian fighter or killer. There is a family story that Jonathan was sitting peacefully in a tavern in Wheeling, in the later days, when a stranger came up to him and asked how many Indians he had killed. Jonathan was so angry and insulted that he got up and walked out without finishing his drink." At one point in the book Blumel refers to Jonathan Zane as "Deathwind" but he was NOT known by that name. Jonathan as well as his Zane siblings got along with certain tribes, such as the Wyandot tribe of Chief Tarhe. Tarhe's daughter fell in love with and married Jonathan Zane's brother. So the Zane family definitely didn't have problems with all tribes, certain ones, yes. Especially the ones the British soldiers stirred to attack Ft. Henry in Sept. 1777 and Sept. 1782. Col. Ebenezer Zane also had a guide named Tomepomehala who accompanied Jonathan Zane and Ebenezer Zane's son-in-law, John McIntire, on their survey of what became Zane's Trace in southern Ohio to Maysville, KY. <br /><br />The man known as Deathwind, l<i>e vent de la mort</i> (French), or <i>Atelang</i> (Lenape) was Lewis Wetzel. Wetzel was well known by the Native Americans and his scalp, had someone taken it, would have been a major coup. He had a reputation for having little patience or mercy. His parents and sisters had been killed by members of a tribe which left him angry.

Dear Robert Zane,<br />
What must it have been like for you to live during the English Civil War, have to leave England during Cromwell's time as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland? After being born in Yarcombe, England in 1642, leaving for Dublin, Ireland must have been a big change. But you met your wife there. You also sailed from Dublin, to New York and back in 1673 on the <i>Mary</i> of Salem. You then returned to Elsinburra (now Elsinboro, NJ) aboard the <i>Griffith</i> (or <i>Griffin</i> in 1675 with other Quakers who were looking for somewhere to settle. This led to what is called "The Irish Tenth" or "Fenwick's Colony". Again, you returned to Dublin. In 1677, aboard the <i>Mary</i> of Dublin, you returned to West Jersey where you settled along Newton Creek, near Salem. On that trip, you were accompanied by your son, Nathaniel Zane. You lost your wife, Margaret, sometime before sailing or during the trip. It couldn't have been easy to care for a young child on a voyage like that. Do you enjoy living in Fenwick's Colony or as some people call it "The Irish Tenth"? Was it a huge adjustment or were you able to easily adjust? <br />
Curious,<br />
Your 7th great-granddaughter<br />

My love of genealogy is not something shocking to many people who know me. I was the kid who always loved sitting with the older people in the family and listening to family stories. Couple that with my love of history and the fact that I rather enjoy researching things and well, it makes sense. Anyone who knows me well, also knows that I am rather nitpicky and somewhat exacting about details. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. When it comes to genealogy, it's a good thing. So when I found that Family Tree Magazine had a 30-Day Family History Writing Challenge, I decided it might be something to do. I may or may not complete it, my health issues and how I am feeling will determine that. But, I haven't been inspired to write anything for a long time so it's definitely going to be a challenge.<br />
<br />
In case anyone is curious, the image above is one I found and then edited. The image originally had different pictures. Of random people. So I chose my own pictures. The picture on the right is an artist's rendition of Jonathan Zane. The family picture on the left is of Charles and Sarah Merritt and their combined children. The information I have says it's Myrtle Pickett, Mabel Pickett, Hazel Merritt, Oscar Merritt, Charles Merritt holding Kathryn Merritt, Sarah Merritt (standing behind Charles) and Russell Pickett. But judging by the ages of the girls in the front, the baby CANNOT be Kathryn. Mabel Pickett was born 19 Feb. 1911. Hazel Merritt was born 14 Oct. 1911. Myrtle Pickett was born 9 Sept. 1912. Kathryn Merritt was born 15 Dec. 1913. The older three girls look a good bit more than one to two years older than the baby. Now an explanation. Charles Merritt first married Grace Runion. Then he married Sarah Ann (Runion) Pickett after Grace passed away. <br />
<br />
Sarah and Grace's father was William Newton Runion (1836-1932). William married Sarah McCloud (1846-1873) on 23 May 1867. She died 27 Feb. 1873. Then William married Lydia Pickett 27 Jan. 1874. Lydia died 13 Mar. 1883. He then married Margaret Stevens. Margaret died in 1886. Lastly, he married Eliza Catherine Wilcox on 12 Oct. 1887. Between his four wives, he had 18 children. I am skipping his children with his first and fourth wives to make this less confusing (it's confusing enough as it is without adding in all of the siblings). With Lydia, William Runion had four children: James, Sarah (b. 30 Jul. 1878), Minnie Bell and an unnamed daughter. With Margaret, William had Grace (b. 30 June 1885), Ira Clay (1886-1975) and James Marion (who died at birth). Lydia's parents were Aquila and Mary Pickett. They had a number of children in addition to Lydia (b. 1845). One of their sons was Jason Pickett (b. 1840, d. 19 May1904). He married Sarah Craver (9 Oct. 1867) and had two daughters. According to census records, their daughters were: Cora (b. 1869) and Dora (b. 1872). After Sarah died, he married Martha Ann Joseph (known as Annie). They married on 28 Dec. 1875. They had Marshall (b. 1876), William Joseph (b. 13 Nov. 1878), Ora (b. 10 Sept. 1881), Otis (b. 10 Sept. 1881), and George H. (b. 1886). After Jason Pickett died, Annie married James Michael Handley and they went to NE sometime between 1905 & 1910 (see below) for awhile. By the time James Michael Handley died in 1915, he and Annie were back in Vermilion Co., IL. In fact, Jason Pickett who died in 1904 and James Handley who died in 1915 are buried in Pleasant Grove Cem., Oakwood, Vermilion Co., IL. There is a marker for Annie there as well but it has no death date. She did remarry after James Handley died to a John W. Smith. He died in 1919 and is buried at Oakwood Cem., Oakwood, Vermilion Co., IL with his first wife. I have no actual info on what happened to Annie after Smith died. She is NOT listed as being buried in Oakwood Cem. and as I said, the Pleasant Grove Cem. has a marker for her with no date of death. It's possible she remarried a fourth time after John W. Smith died. If so, I have no concrete record of it. Here are pics of her with Jason and James (none with John-she had a thing for those J names huh?) as well as pics of the headstone for Jason, James and Annie. You might notice the stone looks rather similar. That's because three of the four faces have names on them. Jason one on side, James on the opposite and Annie (as Annie Smith) on another side. The fourth is blank. Update Nov. 2019: After the death of James Smith, she married Gulford Pritchard in 1920 in Champaign Co., IL. They lived in Fountain Co., IN. He died in 1923 and is buried beside his first wife at Pleasant Grove. Annie died in 1926 in Fountain Co., IN and per her death certificate is buried in Pleasant Grove Cem. <br />

William J. Pickett married Sarah Ann Runion 30 Jan. 1898 in Vermilion Co. Illinois. Yes, they were first cousins, his father and her mother were siblings. The Jason Pickett family moved to Vermilion Co. IL sometime after 1880 as the 1880 census shows them in Hendricks Co., IN still. I am unsure when Sarah went to Vermilion Co. IL. Sometime between their marriage and 1910, William and Sarah, along with his mother, Annie, who had remarried after Jason died. She married James Michael Handley in 1905. By 1910, William and Sarah Pickett, James and Annie Handley, George H. Pickett, Marshall Pickett, Ora Pickett and Otis Pickett were all in Nebraska. The Handleys, Marshall, Ora and Otis were all in Merrick Co., NE while George and William were in Platte Co., NE. George Pickett is in Platte Co., NE, Monroe Twp. Supervisor's District 3, Enumeration District 186, Sheet 2A, Line 9, House number 16, Dwelling 17. William Pickett is in Platte Co., NE, Monroe Twp. Supervisor's District 3, Enumeration District 186, Sheet 2B, Line 5, House 24, Dwelling 25. Listed with William is his wife Sarah, and William R. (listed as their 6 yr old son). William R. Pickett is William Russell Pickett (b. 1904). He went by Russell, likely because having two Williams in the house was confusing. William Joseph went by Willie from what I can tell. Russell was the son of William Joseph Pickett's brother Ora. But he was raised as William and Sarah's son. William and Sarah had a daughter, Mabel (b. 19 Feb. 1911). Sarah was two months pregnant, when, on 22 Feb. 1912, William died after an illness of several weeks. His funeral was held at Monroe Congregational Church and he was buried at New Hope Cemetery (on the church grounds). <br />
<br />
Here is a transcript of his obituary from <i>The Columbus Telegram</i> 1 Mar. 1912. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
PICKETT--William Pickett died at his home at O'Kay at about 1 p.m. on
Thursday of last week, after an illness of several weeks. He was a
little past 33 years of age. He became converted in 1907, and lived a
quiet, christian [<i>sic</i>] life, beloved and respected by all who knew him.
Deceased leaves to mourn his demise a wife and infant daughter, an
adopted son, a mother, a step-father and four brothers, besides a host
of friends. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. G.H. Philips of Monroe,
were held at the Congregational church Sunday afternoon, and the body
was laid to rest in New Hope cemetery. Those from a distance who
attended the funeral were two brothers and a number of old friends from
Central City, and the father and a brother-in-law of Mrs. Pickett. </blockquote>

O'Kay is an small rural area in Monroe Twp., Platte Co. The photo below shows where O'Kay, as well as Monroe. Cong. Church and New Hope Cem. are from the town of Monroe, NE. The yellow shaded area shows where William and Sarah lived. Exactly where, I am unsure. I've circled the church and cemetery in red. The town on Monroe is southeast of both of those along the Platte River.<br />

OK, so we've got cousins William and Sarah married. And they're raising his nephew William Russell. So, Sarah is Russell's adopted mother/aunt by marriage/first cousin once removed. Yeah I know. But it gets more convoluted, just wait. As I said, William and Sarah had a daughter, Mabel and then seven months after he passed away, Sarah had their second daughter, Myrtle (b. 9 Sept. 1912). By virtue of being William's cousin, that makes Sarah the first cousin once removed of her own daughters. Yeah, told you it got more confusing didn't I? Just wait....<br />
<br />
As noted in William's obituary, Sarah's father and one of her brothers-in-law came to NE for his funeral. I am not sure if she returned to IN with them at that time or waited a bit. I do know she was definitely in NE until after 9 Sept. 1912 as her daughter was born in NE. I am not even 100% sure which of her brothers-in-law was at the funeral but I have a guess. Departing from Sarah for a bit...<br />

Grace Runion (Sarah's younger half-sister) married Charles Alvin Merritt (b. 23 Dec. 1887). Grace was a few years older than Charles. They married 30 Jun. 1908 in Hendricks Co., IN. Their son, Charles Oscar (known by family as Oscar) was born 5 Jul. 1909, their daughter Hazel Agnes was born 14 Oct. 1911 and their daughter Mary Kathryn (per Sarah's Bible, also spelled Catherine in places) was born 15 Dec. 1913.

So, Sarah's husband William died in 1912, her sister Grace in 1914. At some point Sarah and the three children, Russell, Mabel and Myrtle, end up back in Indiana. Sarah's alone raising three children ages, 10, 3 and 2. Charles is alone and raising three children, 5, 3, and 2 months. On 18 Nov. 1914, Charles Merritt and Sarah Ann (Runion) Pickett married in Hendricks Co., IN. She was 9 yrs older than he was. But the age difference didn't seem to matter. Between them they had her adopted son Russell Pickett (10), his son Oscar Merritt (5), her daughter Mabel Pickett (3), his daughter Hazel Merritt (3), her daughter Myrtle Pickett (2) and his daughter Mary Kathryn (11 months). <br />

Not surprisingly, they went on to have two sons together. Their sons
were: Marshall Woodrow (b. 1 Nov. 1915) and Aaron Alvin (b. 18 Sept. 1919). (I do not have pictures of all of the kids as adults unfortunately.) When Charles died in 1971, they'd been married nearly 57 years.<br />
<br />
Mary Kathryn lived with her maternal grandfather, William
Newton Runion and his fourth wife, Eliza. She is in their home on the
1920 and 1930 census. Both are in Eel River Twp., Hendricks Co., IN.
The 1920 census has her name as Mary K. Merritt and the 1930 census has
Mary C. Merritt. Sarah's Bible has her listed simply as Kathryn. Her marriage
license uses Mary Catherine. Charles and Sarah Merritt are listed in
Middle Twp., Hendricks Co., IN in 1920 and Center Twp., Hendricks Co.,
IN in 1930. Yeah having synonyms for twp. names is odd in my opinion.
This shows where the various twps. are located. Also of note: in legal descriptions of land, if a section, twp, range, meridian are listed it is a different type than a named twp. That's a Congressional twp. or survey twp. and is used in surveying land. "The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is the surveying method used in the United States to divide real property.
<br />
It is regulated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)"

Now to make it more interesting.... Charles Merritt was the son of John Wesley Merritt (1843-1921) and Lydia Louzina Lamb Merritt (1856-1895). Their other children were: Mary Elizabeth "Lizzie" Merritt McCloud (1874-1959), Nora Belle Merritt Eggers Wilson (1876-1953), Anna Luettie "Annie" Merritt McCloud (1880-1965), Lillian Mae Merritt (1880-1883), John William "Bill" Merritt (1883-1960), Elizabeth Tessie Jane "Janie" Merritt Maden (1885-1966), an infant son, Merrill (1888) and twins, Della Frances Merritt (1891-1960) and James Wesley Merritt (1891-1973). You'll notice Lizzie and Annie both married men with the last name McCloud. If they're related to each other via the McCloud side, it's distantly enough I've yet to find it. Also, the first wife of William Newton Runion, father of Grace Runion Merritt and Sarah Runion Pickett Merritt, was a McCloud. But if there's a connect between her family and those of Lizzie or Annie's husbands, I haven't found it.<br />

Nora Belle Merritt (her Find a Grave spells it "Bell" but the other records I've seen, including her obituary which is one of the pics on Find a Grave show it as "Belle") married George Granville Eggers. Nora Belle was born 18 Jul. 1876 and died 21 Feb. 1953. George Granville Eggers was born 26 May 1874 and died Nov. 1945. George Granville Eggers and Nora Belle Merritt married 27 Oct. 1895 in Hendricks Co., IN. Their children were: Opal Lorena Eggers (1896-1927), Elmer Harold Eggers (1906-1978), Ottie Adolph Eggers (1907-1985), Arley Wayne Eggers (1909-1984) and Vera Irene Eggers (1913-1997). After George Granville Eggers died in 1945, Nora Belle married James Wilson (1867-1958) on 22 Jan. 1947. George Granville Eggers is buried at Hadley Friends Cem., Hadley, Hendricks Co., IN. Nora Belle Merritt Eggers Wilson is buried near her father, John Wesley Merritt at Knights of Pythias Cem., Lizton, Hendricks Co., IN (as are many of her siblings and their spouses, including Charles and Sarah Merritt).

The middle son of George and Nora Eggers was Ottie Adolph (O.A or "Doc") Eggers. He was born 27 Nov. 1907. He married Myrna Turner and they had a daughter, Noretta Eggers. After they divorced, Doc married Myrtle Pickett. Yes, I've mentioned that name before. She was the daughter of William J & Sarah Pickett, and the step-daughter of Charles Merritt. As in the same Charles Merritt who is the brother of Nora Belle Merritt Eggers. They married 19 Dec. 1932 in Paris, Edgar Co., IL. Doc & Myrtle had two daughters, Norma Eggers and Virginia Eggers. Since Noretta, Norma and Virginia are living I am not listing additional information about them.<br />

Doc passed away 25 Aug. 1985 and Myrtle 10 Aug. 1989. Both are buried at Cloverdale Cem., Cloverdale, Putnam Co., IN.<br />
<br />
I owe being bitten by the genealogy bug ("What's that?" you ask. I'll explain.) to both Myrtle Eggers and her sister, Hazel. Technically, cousin/step-sister but they never made that distinction, and Charles Merritt was the only father Myrtle knew since William J. Pickett died before she was born. Grandma and Aunt Hazel both would often tell family stories when I was little. So, I grew up hearing those stories and being interested in them. For some odd reason as a kid, I seemed to easily pick up and memorize names, dates and relationships. I wish now I had written the stories down. One thing that I recall hearing a bit about was my Grandma not knowing where William Joseph Pickett was buried. Somewhere in Platte Co., NE. It was a brick wall for me from my late teens when I began digging up clues to family history. It frustrated me for over 20 years! Finally in 2012, I got a few clues. I found the transcript of his obituary which led me to the community of O'Kay and the "Cong. Church". That led me to finding Monroe Congregational Church and I found it was on the National Register of Historic Places. That led me to a Wikipedia entry on it, which in turn led to pictures on Wikimedia Commons. The user who had photographed both the church and cemetery was gracious enough to double check his files to see if he by chance had a picture of Willie's grave. He didn't. But he was going to be in the area and offered to double check when he was. He arrived and there was a caretaker there mowing. The caretaker had the register so along with the information I was able to give him, they were able to find the grave in spite of it being unmarked. He still took pictures for me. I was thrilled to finally bust through that wall after more than 20 yrs of wondering. That's part of why I enjoy genealogy. Well combined with my love of history.<br />
<br />
Now that I've rambled on....<br />
The picture on the left, as I said was Jonathan Zane. He was my 4th great grandfather on my Dad's side. He lived in (and helped settle) Wheeling, WV along with his brothers. Col. Ebenezer Zane is considered the founder but brothers Silas and Jonathan were with him. Col. Ebenezer Zane is an ancestor of the author Zane Grey, who when he found journals written by Ebenezer decided to write a fictional series based on the journals. That resulted in the Ohio Border Trilogy of <i>Betty Zane</i>, <i>Spirit of the Border</i>, & <i>The Last Trail</i>. The Zane family was interesting. I've mentioned them a few times though so I won't go into it here.<br />
<br />
Now I am off to catch up hopefully. Only day 2 and my rambling introduction (possibly unnecessary) has me behind already. Oh well. It's my post, I'll ramble if I want to!WayneyPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03559928368980745578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18409812.post-50151268828848646722016-01-01T17:04:00.000-05:002016-06-06T11:29:28.533-05:002016 Reading Challenge<div style="margin-top: 0.08in;">

I don't think my love of
reading (if it's not more correctly an obsession) shocks anyone who
knows me. So when I saw this on Better World's FB page, I decided to
do it. Now, given I read constantly, it's no surprise that I read
more books in a month than many people do in a year. I thought about
keeping a log of all the books I read but decided that would be a bit
too much. I already have plans on some of the books I plan to read
for this challenge. Others I need to ask someone about (the librarian
and the person 30 years older or younger than me) or do some research
on (books set on each continent, etc). So here is the list of books
I plan to read so far for this challenge. Links are to <a href="https://www.blogger.com/http%22//http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk">Fantastic
Fiction's</a> page on each book. As I read them, I will try to note
the date I started and finished them. I am in the middle of a series
right now but as soon as I finish it, I will start the challenge. As
of 1 Jan. 2016, the ones without titles are ones I need
recommendations on or need to research a bit more for what I want to
read. The challenge itself calls for 31 books (25 categories but the
continents requires 7 books) but I plan on reading 85 for the
challenge if I counted right.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />People need to learn that just cuz words sound the same, they don't mean the same! Though both of the following words have the same pronunciation, they are vastly different. I know it's very Grammar Nazi-ish of me, and I am FAR from perfect myself and make more than my fair share of mistakes. As long as one is not rude when pointing them out, I'd rather know I made a mistake and get it fixed than leave it. I don't get why people do not seem to understand homophones. Some just seem silly to me, such as using the words "to," "too," and "two" or "their," "there," and "they're" interchangeably. I could understand some others but, really, there are so many ways to access the tools needed to check and make sure. Is it that people don't care? Or do they just not want to take time to look it up? I'd rather know I tried at the least to look something up, if I weren't sure of the word already. Yes, technology has made life much easier in this regard. But sometimes, using word processing software will lead you into making mistakes if you spell a word correctly but use the wrong homophone. And truthfully, in casual communications, it bugs me much less than with professional, published works. I don't expect everyone to be perfect. There's always going to be mistakes. And I tend to expect more from myself, and get more annoyed when I make mistakes than when others around me do. Except when it comes to professional works. If you're paid to write, you should be attentive to details and try to get it right. But even being paid, authors are humans and make mistakes. They aren't the only ones responsible for mistakes in professional writing. There are editors, proofreaders, and copy editors that should all be seeing the work before the final published copy is released. Yes, there are differences between the three jobs. The differences are explained in an article titled "<a href="https://www.odesk.com/blog/2010/02/editing-vs-proofreading-whats-the-difference/" target="_blank">Editing vs. Proofreading: What’s the difference?</a>". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It summarizes that an editor: </span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">
rewrites sentences and paragraphs for flow; </span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">makes the text clearer and more understandable; </span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">uses their specialized knowledge to clarify and improve text.
</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While that job can be extensive, a proofreader: </span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">goes beyond “spell-check” to catch errors a computer might miss; </span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">ensures zero grammatical errors, usually after a document has already been edited.
</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A copy editor (or “sub-editor”):
</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"> proofreads, with an added expertise in ensuring style consistency appropriate to a publication or organization. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When it comes to published books, it could be the author's doing of course. But there are these nifty people who are paid to make sure the author is correct, so in a professionally published book, there's really no excuses. Authors aren't always spot on which is why there are those other people who are paid to make sure the author is correct. On the other side of the coin, if you are an editor, proofreader or copy editor and are paid to do a job, know the difference between words or here's a novel thought, if you don't know — consult a freaking dictionary.There are tons of them, both in print and electronically. Smart phones have em, so surely there is no excuse to not be able to access a dictionary. And using a lack of net access doesn't cut it as many apps have off-line capabilities. My phone has multiple dictionaries (I AM a word nerd, does that REALLY shock anyone?) and a few of them have off-line access. What set this rant off? The use of "dyer" when "dire" was the word that should have been used. Dyer ≠ dire!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dyer [ˈdaɪəʳ] noun = Someone whose job is to dye cloth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dire [ˈdaɪəʳ] adj. = Warning of or having dreadful or terrible consequences; calamitous; urgent; desperate; foreboding disaster; ominous; causing or involving great fear or suffering; terrible; indicating trouble, disaster, or the like; fraught with extreme danger; nearly hopeless.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They may sound the same, but they aren't even close in meaning. Although a dyer's job can have dire consequences I would imagine, given the chemicals in dyes.<br /><br />Last but not least, if you do have trouble with homophones, check out <a href="http://homophone.com/">Homophone.com</a>, "a handy compilation of homophones for anyone who is learning or
simply curious about the English language!
This resource is exceptionally useful for schools and offices as
a reference for when spoken English word must be converted to written
language."

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On 21 September 1984, after spending a week in the hospital at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, IN, we heard the words that would forever change my life. I had been in the hospital all week. But unlike the rooms where most hospital stays occur, this room was more like an efficiency room in a hotel, a private room with a small refrigerator (I think), of course a private restroom. There was less a feeling of being hospitalized and more a feeling of just staying there for tests because it was more convenient. I vaguely remember being seen by quite a few doctors and nurses as well as having lab-work, X-rays, eye tests, and other exams. We had went into the situation with a fairly good idea of the outcome. The problems I'd been having for awhile were getting less scary and more of a hassle than a major worry. i don't know if I got more used to the pain and so woke up less in enough pain to scream as had happened at first. Or if I just got used to it enough that it no longer took me by such surprise and was a shock to me. In the beginning, Mom, like most parents would have, assumed I was having nightmares. And in a way, she was right, I was having a major nightmare, but not in the way most parents consider the use of the word nightmare. I was so wracked with leg pain that i was unable to move my legs. The stiffness and pain was unexplainable really beyond the tears and saying I hurt. So, like most parents, she took me to the doctor. He was one of those old country docs who practiced in a tiny rural town in the early 1980s. I later heard that he did not have a good reputation amongst older family members, which I don't believe Mom was aware of. We left there with no clues as to what was going on. All that doctor would tell her was that I had "growing pains". But something about that just didn't sit right with Mom. I wonder if her own pain led her to see that my pain was very real and went beyond what is typically described as "growing pains". In addition to waking up at night, screaming and complaining about leg pain as well as being unable to move them, I also had a problem with my right ring finger that we later found out was called a "trigger finger" as well as a ganglion cyst on my left hand. Over the last 30 years my hands have changed to what is now noticeable damage and misshapen fingers but not to the extent in the drawing below. I do have each of the items mentioned: boutonnière deformity in my thumbs, ulnar deviation of my hands as well as swan-necking of the first joint of some of my fingers and hypertension of the middle joints on some fingers. The drawing is much worse than my hands are thankfully. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Needless to say, she took me to a different doctor in Danville, IN. This doctor, after examining me, declared that he was not about to treat me and that I needed to be seen by a specialist at Riley Hosp. for Children in Indianapolis. His concern was that I had either a muscular dystrophy or a form of juvenile arthritis. The next I remember was the week-long stay at Riley, which culminated in the official diagnosis: seronegative poly-articular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, quite a mouthful for a 7 yr old! The seronegative part simply meant that there were none of the markers of JRA in my lab work, a not uncommon occurrence. In adults, at the time, at least 20% </span></div>

My<i> </i><span class="st"><a href="http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/esr/tab/sample/" target="_blank"><i>erythrocyte</i> <i>sedimentation rate</i></a>, or </span>SED rate for short (aka ESR) was elevated but it can be elevated with any kind of inflammation in the body, including infections. I had a lot of problems with upper respiratory and ear infections so having an elevated ESR was not too out of the ordinary. But I was never positive for Rheumatoid Factor (RF) at any point in my life. According to Lab Tests Online, <a href="http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/rheumatoid/tab/sample/" target="_blank">RF</a> is: "Rheumatoid factor (RF) is an <a href="http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/autoantibodies">autoantibody</a>, an <a class="popup-note" href="http://labtestsonline.org/glossary/igm">immunoglobulin M (IgM) protein</a> that is produced by the body's <a class="popup-note" href="http://labtestsonline.org/glossary/immune-system/">immune system</a>.
Autoantibodies attack a person's own tissues, mistakenly identifying
the tissue as "foreign." While the biologic role of RF is not well
understood, its presence is useful as an indicator of inflammatory and
autoimmune activity." I have NEVER tested positive for ESR in the past 30 years. There are more tests now that they can use to lead to diagnosing RA or distinguishing between the various types of arthritis but the last I recalled, i am either completely negative for those tests that the results are either negative or positive, or for those that have a cut off of the normal levels of what is being tested for in the blood, I am under that normal level. I have been tested for the Sjogren's antibodies, anti-CCP, CRP etc. and even now everything is either in normal ranges for that particular test or is negative. My labs still show that I am sero-negative 30 years later. Again, my SED rate is often elevated but that could be infection related as much as anything else. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I recall the doctor thinking when we first got there that I had some form of juvenile arthritis most likely. As the week wore on and tests were done and results were in, I think he was more and more sure of his original thought. I remember that Mom was certain that since it was my body and my life affected by the diagnosis, that she wanted me to be told everything. I had to know what I was dealing. I don't know if my doctor, who at the time was Dr. Murray Passo, agreed with her that it was the best choice or not, but, he went along with it. And for me, it worked. By the time I was 10, I would go to the reference section of the library and read medical books for fun. Not that I understood the greater portion of it but I understood enough. I was used as a teaching student. I was at the clinic enough that it made sense to have me as one of the patients that student doctors visited on their trips through the clinic. After awhile, because I tended to pay attention to what the doctor said, I began to be able to answer his questions if the students would or could not. It was not any great feat of intelligence I can be sure of. It was quite simply repetition. No matter a child's age, if they hear something repeated over and over, especially about themselves, they are likely to remember it. I was 10 when I asked about how RA shortened people's lives, which I think was surprising to many people. I know at one point, Dr Passo had told me the worst case scenario
—that by the time I was 16, I'd not walk again, I'd be on medications for the rest of my life, I'd not work part time even let alone full-time and I'd not marry and have a family. I was determined to prove them wrong. At 10, was my hand surgery. Because of the concern of giving a child pain medications for more than a few days post-op, I did not have adequate pain control when it came time to begin PT. It was then I began considering PT to be patient torture vs physical therapy. But, I also had a hard time explaining how I hurt beyond say "I hurt," which admittedly makes it hard on a doctor to know if the child truly is experiencing pain and is used to it enough that the typical reactions to pain are not there (I can be in a lot of pain now and no one but those who know me well can tell IF I am not wanting it to show; after this long of my being filled with some amount of pain everyday for as long as I can remember, you tend to learn to mask it) OR if there is something else bothering them. I know many of my doctors in the past had a hard time believing I was really in the pain I said I was in. Another reason I think I have such difficulty in explaining how I hurt id the fact that I truly do not remember what it is like to be pain free. I know at some point in my childhood I was pain free but it was so long ago that I do no remember it. It's as if between the time that has passed and all that my body has experienced, that those pain-free days have been pushed out of my memory. </span></div>

Looking back, it might be wondered why I was never put on any of the disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs available at the time. Or why I'd never been given ______. The biggest reason is simply that I was not considered to be a severe case of JRA. This was during a time when ibuprofen and naproxen were beginning to be studied as treatments for kids with JRA. There was hope that they would work well enough that the stronger drugs with the worst side effects could be avoided. This was before the practice of "early aggressive treatment" was given the emphasis that it is given today. We know now how important it is to slow the progress of JRA in children and RA in adults as early as possible. We know now that it is in the first 10 years that the most damage occurs in those patients who are disabled by RA or JRA. As Dr Passo explained it to me, the difference between the three forms of JRA, pauci-articular, poly-articular and systemic are: those with pauci-articular JRA tend to have five joints or less affected; those with more than five joints affected have poly-articular JRA and those with salmon colored rashes, daily fevers, etc in addition to the five or more joints being affected are those with systemic JRA. As it was explained to me, polyarticular JRA is much like adult RA while systemic JRA is also known as Still's disease, which generally occurs in children but can wait until adulthood to begin, in which case it is known as "adult onset Still's disease" (AOSD). That said, poly-articular JRA, (which I will hereafter refer to simply as JRA and the other forms by their longer names) as well as adult RA both have components of the disease that are systemic. The low grade fevers common to many patients with both JRA and RA, especially during periods of active inflammation is common as is fatigue, feeling flu-like, etc. For many patients of either, slow healing cut and sores are common as is increased bruising. The bruising can be related to certain medications, primarily prednisone or other glucocorticosteroids but in some people can be part of RA/JRA. I was not on any glucocorticosteroids of ANY kind until after I was 2 and had my son, yet I bruised VERY easy as a pre-teen and teen. Even into adulthood, I bruised fairly easy. At one point in my life, I was seeing a physical therapist who, during the course of the treatment ordered by my doctor was leaving rather large bruises on me. They were not overly painful, but the PT was concerned at first as to what my husband would say when he saw them. I assured him that my hubby would know about them before seeing them so that he was not upset over them. He knows my easy bruising nature anyway and so is unlikely to become angry before giving me a chance to explain. I can understand the PT's concern as well since I was bruised from neck to the back of my thighs, because he was doing myofascial release massage therapy, which released the knots formed by muscular waste chemicals that would build up in the muscles. It was hard work in a way to have that type of massage therapy. The waste that was broken up and released into the system caused nausea and sleepiness on the days I had therapy. So while it felt good in a</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">doctor that I don't recall much about. I don't recall caring much for her but then again, I am not sure if that is the case, or if she just doesn't compare one bit to Dr Passo. I do remember him a being a great doctor. And he is the one who started to encourage me to learn all that I could about my JRA. He taught me quite a bit as well. And of all the doctors I've met over the last 30 years, and there have been quite a few, he's been one of those I have had the best memories of. I still to this day, even though it's been probably 20 years since I've seen him, would trust him implicitly. Although, in many ways, he made it hard for me to find other doctors to live up to the standards he set. I have been blessed to have a few who do. And for those I am thankful. One of my biggest ways of knowing if a doctor will work out is how much they value a patient's knowledge. If they have a problem with patients who are well-informed about their diagnosis, then they will not work for me. I will not be treated as if I don't know my own body just to make a doctor like me better. And the doctors, as well as other health-care providers that I see currently all seem to value that in a patient. i am blessed with a great health-care team right now. I am thankful for that to be honest. Because while I know my own body, and what is and is not normal for me, that's where my knowledge stops. Yes, I know quite a bit about rheumatic diseases but not as much as a doctor who specializes in them. But the best thing is that I do know what is and isn't normal for me and after 30yrs can usually recognize the abnormal. I say usually because as was proven in 2008, there are times a med can mask what would be normal symptoms of a problem that I was well-aware of what the symptoms felt like. Yet, when you have no symptoms of a problem, you can't exactly know it is there! Thankfully, the medications that caused that issue are no longer ones I take or are ones I still take but at a MUCH lower dose. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Will I ever live a "normal" life again? Of course not. I have way too much joint damage as well as too much deformity etc to have what would be close to a "normal" life. But, while I know that JRA may have taken its toll on me, and it may have won some of the battles, it has NOT won the war. It can only do that if I let it knock me down mentally as well as physically. And I will NOT let that happen if I can help it. I may not be able to do as much as I was able to do physically before the "long vacation" but it hasn't totally won yet. For that I owe quite a lot to the influence of many people over the last 30 years. But I would not have had as many tools to fight with had it not been for Dr Passo as my diagnosing doctor. Don't get me wrong, Mom insisting i be told the truth had a big influence on me as did the influence of a number of family members. </span></div>

Sounds like a good looking man, well-respected and valued from other descriptions. Not one to be messed with as he could be a tough enemy to have. Saved many a family from trouble on the border between WV and OH. He also had his bad side (depending on which side you view it from.) He was judge, jury and executioner many times when one caused trouble for the towns. Unlike some (Lew Wetzel for one) he was not wholly of the opinion that "the only good Indian was a dead one", but those who had fallen under the spell of those "white redskins" like Girty, Eliot, McKee, etc. he had no use for. Why? Because unlike the groups who had become peaceful to the settlers who treated them fairly, these men were vindictive, stole for the sake of it, were brutal to the women they abducted, etc. I do not feel Native Americans were treated fairly by whites. That's a given. But, just as not all whites treated the Native Americans unfairly, not all Native Americans were horrible. The greater numbers were only reacting to the wrongs they had suffered. So many times we see history as black and white and yet there are all kinds of grey areas. For the settlers who had paid for their lands and treated the Native Americans fairly, they still had to endure the attacks of those who were not treated fairly by other settlers. But they relied on men like Wetzel and the man I described above. </div>

The weird part comes in reading a book where you do find yourself imagining you taking the place of a main character. Harmless enjoyment of the story right? Except when you realize the book is about a person that if not for them, you might not exist! As in the case of my reading of Zane Grey's fictional, yet based on history, stories set on the border of WV/OH, the Border Trilogy. <a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Zane_Grey_Betty_Zane?id=3l8eAAAAMAAJ" target="_blank"><i>Betty Zane</i></a>, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Zane_Grey_The_Spirit_of_the_Border?id=9XYqAAAAYAAJ" target="_blank"><i>The Spirit of the Border</i></a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Zane_Grey_The_Last_Trail?id=Ni0dAAAAMAAJ" target="_blank"><i>The Last Trail</i></a>.

Isaac was a translator, and helped with many treaties between the US government and the Delawares. Jonathan became a borderman and Silas was in charge of the garrison at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Henry_%28West_Virginia%29" target="_blank">Ft. Henry</a>, which was located in present-day Wheeling, WV. Betty Zane, youngest sibling and only sister of the Zane brothers is considered the "Heroine of Ft. Henry" during the attack of the fort because on Sept. 11, 1782 Betty made a run from the fort to her brother's home to get powder. Why send a woman and especially a young one such as Betty? Well, first, few in the area were faster at running than she was. She was typically only bested by her brothers and Lew Wetzel. Second, they were out of powder, depending on the source you believe, her brothers had "carelessly" according to the Wiki article left the powder at the home of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebenezer_Zane" target="_blank">Ebenezer</a>. Now, he had stayed in his home in order to protect it along with his slave Old Sam, Jonathan Zane and <a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Wetzel&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSst=52&GScnty=3089&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=5091958&df=all&" target="_blank">Martin Wetzel</a>, (according to Martin Wetzel's Find A Grave, their father, John Wetzel/Whetzel was also present at the second siege) Lewis Wetzel's brother, as Silas was commander of the fort at the time. (Although many sources state <a href="http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Zane,_Ebenezer" target="_blank">Ebenezer</a> was the fort's commander, see "Story of Fort Henry" source 12 for comment re:Silas being in charge of fort .) <br />
<br />
According to "<a href="http://www.wvculture.org/hiStory/journal_wvh/wvh1-2.html" target="_blank">The Story Fort Henry</a>"<sup>1</sup>, "In September, 1782, occurred the last siege of Fort Henry,
regarded by some as the last battle of the Revolution. A force of
forty irregular British soldiers and 238 Indians, under Captain
Bradt [possibly Brady?] , made the attack." The total number of the fort's defenders was around 40 and that included the garrison, the local men and young boys who could handle a rifle as well as women who could load the rifles, cool the overheated rifle barrels, etc for the men. The Zane men had just days before seen barrels of powder in the store room of the fort. Yet when defenders went to retrieve them during the siege, they were gone. So, the logical thing was to send someone to Eb's cabin just outside the fort, which they knew had a quantity of powder. But sending even a young boy would have been sending that boy to his death. He'd be mowed down by the bullets of the British and their Native American allies. So Betty volunteered. The women had been helping defend the fort by making bullets, reloading guns, nursing injuries, cooling the gun barrels and she heard her brother Silas, Lew, and some of the other men discussing the need for powder. Legend has it that she volunteered knowing she might not make it or might get shot. Her brother Silas was not wanting to send his only sister to what he feared would be her death. But, she prevailed & Lewis Wetzel had faith in her ability as well. The story goes that once they saw her, the Indians jeered "Squaw!" and let her alone as she made her dash to the cabin. But on the return trip, realizing that she was taking supplies to the fort, they began to shoot at her. She made it back to the fort, with her skirts having been shot through at least once and having been grazed by a bullet. </div>

Why is it odd though that I am imagining the man I described as being one darn fascinating, good-looking, appealing, downright sexy man? And why do I find the history of him, his family and friends like Wetzel so fascinating? Because he is one whom, without him, I'd not be here. He was my 4th great-grandfather, Jonathan Zane. So, that is why it can be dangerous to imagine yourself in the story!!! It's a bit disconcerting to find yourself imagining that you are the heroine who finds herself growing to love Jonathan when he's an ancestor of yours. With the reputation both Jack and Wetzel had, you'd think I'd find them repulsive or to have hands too stained by blood to find them fascinating. But, it is precisely their reputations that draw my fascination.</div>

From <i><a href="http://www.wvgenweb.org/ohio/pan-ezane.txt" target="_blank">HISTORY OF THE PAN-HANDLE, West Virginia, 1879</a>,</i> by J. H. Newton,
G. G. Nichols, and A. G. Sprankle. Pages 131-134. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
JONATHAN ZANE was, also, born in Berkeley county, Virginia. He
accompanied his brother, Ebenezer Zane, to the West in 1769, when they
explored the surrounding country, and located the town of Wheeling. He
also made explorations in the summer and fall of 1771, in company with
Silas Zane, up and down the Ohio - soon becoming familiar not only with
the regions east of that river, but also the wilderness beyond. He was
perhaps, the most experienced hunter of his day, in the frontier
country. <br />
<br />
It would have been difficult to find a man of greater energy of
character - of more determined resolution, or restless activity. He
rendered efficient service to the settlers about Wheeling, in the
capacity of a spy, and a guide to direct the forces through the
wilderness in several of the important campaigns from the commencement
of the Dunmore war until the close of the Revolution. He was a guide in
the Wakatomica campaign of 1774. He also accompanied General Brodhead
in the same capacity, in the expedition up the Allegheny against the
Munsies and Senecas in 1779, in which he was wounded.* (Anthony
Dunlevy's Declaration for a Pension, October 3d, 1832.) In the
memorable campaign of Crawford against Sandusky, Zane was again one of
the guides to direct the army through the wilderness, and was a
confidential advisor of the commander, with whom his opinions had great
weight. It is plain, too, that if his advice had been promptly acted
upon, the terrible calamity that befell the unfortunate expedition
would have been averted. When the army had reached the Sandusky plains
and found a deserted town, Zane advised an immediate return, and Col.
Crawford knowing him to be exceedingly well versed in Indian strategy
was strongly impressed with his views and felt personally inclined to
adopt them. Zane urged that the absence of any sign of the Indians on
the plains was a certain indication that they were concentrating at
some point not far distant for determined resistance. He also reasoned
that a further march into their country was only giving the savages
time to gather reinforcements at their place of rendezvous, and that
they would be able to concentrate against the Americans an overwhelming
force. But when the council of officers was held Zane's warning was not
duly heeded-the officers and men did not want to return without firing
a gun - the army continued its march until the Indians were met - and
the lamentable disaster followed.
<br />
<br />
Jonathan Zane was remarkable for earnestness of purpose, an energy
and inflexibility of will which often manifested itself in a way truly
astonishing. Few men shared more of the confidence or respect of his
fellow men than Jonathan.
<br />
<br />
He was one of the best marksmen upon the border. He prided himself
particularly upon his skill in shooting. He was once returning home
from hunting his horses, when, passing through some high weeds near the
bank of the river at a spot within the present limits of the City of
Wheeling, not far from his house, he saw five Indians jump into the
stream and swim for the island in the Ohio, opposite the place. Having
his rifle with him, he rapidly took aim at one of the savages -fired,
and the Indian sunk. Loading and firing in quick succession, three more
were killed before reaching the opposite bank. The fifth and last one,
seeing the fate of his companions, concealed himself behind a "sawyer,"
near the shore of the island, hoping thus to escape the deadly aim of
the white man. After several ineffectual attempts to dislodge him, the
effort was about to be abandoned, when Zane noticed a small portion of
his body protruding below the log. Drawing a fine sight on his rifle,
it was discharged, and the fifth savage floated down the river. He
piloted expeditions against the Indians; in the one under Colonel
Brodhead, up the Allegheny, in 1779, he was severely wounded. He was
one the pilots in Crawford's expedition, and, it is said, strongly
admonished the unfortunate commander against proceeding; as the enemy
were very numerous, and would certainly defeat him. He died in
Wheeling, at his own residence a short distance above the present site
of the First Ward Public School. He left large landed possessions, most
of which were shared by his children.<br />
<br />
The children were Catharine, Eliza, Cynthia, Sally, Hannah, Nancy,
Isaac, Asa and Benjamin. </blockquote>

My great-grandparents were Amos and Cynthia Charlotte (Zane) Nichols. She was the daughter of Isaac (not the one previously mentioned, but his nephew) Zane and wife Mary French Zane. They died of what appears to be cholera when she was about 10 years old. Her grandfather Jonathan and uncle Asa were given custody of the children of Isaac and Mary. Cynthia was raised by Jonathan. She married in 1823, the same year her grandfather died and they moved from southeastern Ohio to central Illinois in the late 1820s or early 1830s. She and Amos as well as their son John, a Civil War veteran, are buried less than 4 miles as the crow flies from my Dad's house where we lived when I was born and where I spent a number of weeks during the summer. Never once did I hear family stories such as this. Or of my great-grandfather Benjamin Nichols, a Civil War veteran and one who thankfully missed being part of Custer's Last Stand thanks to drawing guard duty over some of the equipment Custer left behind. After that near miss, he left the army. The family story, which I learned from my Aunt Betty the week I spent with my family in April 2001 when my Dad died, was that Benjamin, partially deaf from having been too near cannons during the Civil War, also had a fondness for drink. He walked from his farm outside of Waynesville (in northern DeWitt Co.) to Heyworth (in southern McLean Co.) to the bar in Feb. 1917. The desire for drink and the companionship of friends must have been strong to induce him to walk over 4 miles from his farm into town in the middle of February! The family story goes on that at some point he decided to return home. At some point, his diminished hearing and the amount of alcohol consumed caused him to pass out (or possibly fatigue caused him to decide to go to sleep). He would likely have been alright except for the fact that he passed out on the railroad tracks. In due time, a train came along. His diminished hearing in combination with the alcohol, caused him to be unable to hear the warning whistle of the train and so he was killed by the train. Whether a true story or not, I do not know. What I do know is that he died on 14 Feb. 1917, and was buried in Rock Creek Cemetery. I have been unable to find any record of such an accident around that time. I would think an accident such as that would make local newspapers. I hope to find out the truth at some point. <br />
<br />
Now, Wetzel, with all that can be said against him, which is plenty, was also fascinating. Long black hair that when combed out came down to below his knees. Hands too blood-stained to allow him to give reign to falling in love with a woman, although, reportedly there was one he possibly loved but knew he couldn't be worthy of. This was a man who could reload his gun at a dead run. Fleet of foot, sharp eyed, keen eared, quiet. Another person cast as the hero yet one with plenty of faults. And possibly distantly related to another of my 4th great-grandfathers.</div>

Even knowing there are many fictionalized stories, the ones that are known to be true of the Zane brothers and Lew Wetzel are fascinating. And the fictionalized stories are wonderful, yet they have their faults as well. But, as the author says in his introduction to <i>Betty Zane</i>, "Few of us are so unfortunate that we cannot look backward on kith or kin and thrill with love and reverence as we dream of an act of heroism or martyrdom which rings down the annals of time like the melody of the huntsman's horn....". In the introduction to <i>The Spirit of the Border</i> he writes, "The author does not intend to apologize for what many readers may call the "brutality" of the story ; but rather to explain that its wild spirit is true to the life of the Western border as it was known only a little more than one hundred years ago." and "It is to a better understanding of those days that the author has labored to draw from his ancestor's notes a new and striking portrayal of the frontier; one which shall paint the pioneer's fever of freedom, that powerful impulse which lured so many to unmarked graves; one which shall show his work, his love, the effect of the causes which rendered his life so hard, and surely one which does not forget the wronged Indian."<br />
<br />
Last but not least, I cannot wait to read the <a href="https://archive.org/details/ZaneGreyComics-SpiritOfTheBorder197" target="_blank">Spirit of the Border in comic format</a>! I found a number of Zane Grey books that were released in comic form on the Internet Archive. But of the Ohio trilogy, only Spirit was done in comic form. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was diagnosed nearly 30 years ago at the age of 7 with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), which causes chronic pain as well as other problems & I have had other pain causing diseases added as well. Since then, I've definitely learned a lot because of pain. I've learned that just because I have pain, it does NOT mean that my life is horrible or not worth living. Does it have it's horrible moments? Sure, there's no doubt about that. But, despite the fact that I truly do not recall a pain-free time in my life, it does not mean my life has been so bad it's not worth living. In spite of pain, I've got so much to be thankful for. Family and friends who, while they don't all know what it's like to be in my shoes, make an effort to understand are just one of the many things. Although I do have a number of family and friends (for example my mom & my bestest friend amongst others) who have their own chronic pain issues as well. I am also fortunate that my in-laws all understand my pain and I don't have the problems many women do with their in-laws. <br />
<br />
And because of the chronic pain in his family, my husband gets it. He has stuck by me through stuff that would cause many men to run screaming in the opposite direction. We married 18 years ago today when we were just 18 and not many people ever thought we'd make it as long as we have. And yet, he stuck beside me while I was hospitalized for 11 mo unable to feed myself let alone do any self care. I was so sick that I couldn't keep even the blandest of food down, and ended up losing over half of my body weight. Meds and a lack of being able to exercise had caused my weigh to balloon. But months of nausea and vomiting, as well as a case of C-Diff, caused me to drop from right around 200lbs (way too heavy for my 5'3" small boned frame) to somewhere between 90 and 95lbs in about 4 mo. I ended up with a feeding tube to keep nutrients in me. Once my esophagus and stomach healed, I slowly began to be able to eat again. Even now, over 3 years after having the feeding tube removed, my appetite is nothing like it was before. I was given both blood and plasma at various times. Because of various infections, in addition to the C-Diff I also had VRE and MRSA, anyone entering my room had to don a gown and gloves. In fact, I believe I was told because of my history, any future stay at that hospital means I am by default considered a patient who will require anyone entering the room to gown and glove up. I do not remember most of Jan 2009 through April 2009. Even after that, things are spotty up until the fall of 2009. I couldn't even scratch an itch for awhile because my arms and hands were so contracted I couldn't move them. My hands were curled into a loose fist, my wrists bent so that my palms were drawn down to ward the underside of my forearm, elbows bent so that my hands rested on my chest under my collarbones. I had to learn to feed myself again, I had to learn to write again, I had to learn to stand, and then learn to walk. Because those were hard won victories, I am thankful just to be able to take care of myself, to get around with minimal assistance. I've experienced not being able to do the simplest of things for myself and that makes me value even more what I am able to do. When the doctors all thought I was not going to make it, he did! He said there was no question about it for him because he knew I'd fight. When I was told I'd likely not walk again, he assured me we'd figure it out. I then spent the following 2 yrs in a nursing home, where I had to learn to do all of the basic self-care tasks for myself all over again. And when I told him about having taken my first steps in Apr 2010 after only 4 mo of PT (rather than the 2-3 yrs of daily intensive PT it was predicted it would take just for me to be able to stand), he was NOT surprised. He knew I'd get back on my feet. And because of that, my son also had no doubt I'd walk and happened to be spending the day at the nursing home with me the day I did walk. <br />
<br />
Chronic pain has taught me that I am a lot stronger than I'd have guessed. It takes mental strength to fight pain and not let it win. It takes choosing to find something good about life in spite of the pain. I also have a number of friends I wouldn't have met had it not been because of chronic pain. Because of my pain, when my best friend was having a lot of problems that were all too familiar to me, and her doctors were telling her that she was fine, I told her to keep trying to get help, because while how she felt was normal for me, it was NOT normal for her. Unfortunately, she ended up getting a diagnosis similar to mine. I am glad we've got each other to understand and all but I would have been perfectly happy to not have her know! Unfortunately, because of doctors who were not proactive, she's got a lot of joint damage and has had multiple surgeries. But we can both laugh at ourselves and at each other and we've always joked that together we pretty much make one relatively healthy person. And her surgical experiences have turned out to be helpful for me. Because I am facing a similar surgery, I have a bit more of an idea what to expect because of what she has shared with me. I know how much of an impact that type of surgery can have. I also have spoken to a number of people I've been treated by in the past and gotten various points of view that have all helped me with my decision about what I should do. <br />
<br />
Pain has taught me that how to adapt as well. I cannot do things the way most people do them. In fact, when I had my son, the nurse sent to help me with nursing the first time kept saying I was holding my son wrong. She didn't expect me to stand up for myself. I told her I could either hold him the way she was telling me OR I could do it MY way and know that his head was being properly supported and that I'd not drop him. For me, adapting is second nature after all these years. I grew up having to find ways to get jobs done that made them easier on my body. I know that one time during a PT eval, when the PT asked if I had trouble lifting a gallon of milk, or carrying a basket of laundry and a handful of other household items, I began to laugh which was a puzzle to the PT. I explained that on most days, I knew better than to try to lift a gallon of milk. I generally bought half gallons or less OR when we bought a gallon, some got put into a smaller container so I didn't have to lift a full gallon. Same with heavy bottles of laundry detergent etc. I also rarely carried a basket of laundry very far. As much as was possible, I would slide the basket along the floor. Now, especially, I am unable to carry a basket and still walk since I use forearm crutches to walk. That makes sliding a basket hard too because it gets in the way of my feet or my crutches and becomes a fall hazard. And that is one thing I MUST avoid because between all of my health issues, I have also developed full-blown osteoporosis. So not only would a fall be painful, it could very well mean a nasty fracture. When I first came home from the nursing home, it took me a bit to find a way to deal with doing laundry. But one day, I took a belt, looped it through some of the holes in a basket and fastened it in a way that I could have the belt around my waist, keeping the basket's weight fairly well distributed but also keeping it from being a fall hazard. Another adaptation has been to use a bar stool in the kitchen when I am cooking. I sit at counter height to do prep work, the stool is a great height if I need to be stirring something on the stove, etc. I just gather everything I need and put it within reach and position the stool where I am in the area of counter space between the stove and sink. I can reach toward both without moving, or can easily slide the stool either way if I need to be closer to one or the other. Essentially, I've learned to work smarter not harder. I find the tools I need to make jobs easier whenever possible OR I adapt ways of doing things. Just because other people do things a specific way, it doesn't mean I have to as well. <br />
<br />
I am also not at all uncomfortable or ashamed of using various assistive devices. I keep a grabber near by most of the time, it actually is almost always sitting in the space between my wheelchair seat and the armrest. I use jar openers. When I'm writing, I make sure to add grips to pens to make them easier to grasp. I don't care what other people think when I use a handicapped parking space, although now, it's not easy to miss the leg braces and crutches so I no longer get dirty looks for appearing just fine and not needing a handicapped space. But my husband has been assaulted in the past because he parked in a handicapped spot for me and someone had a problem with thinking I didn't need to use that spot. I have never really had a struggle over using assistive devices because I grew up using them. They're a normal part of my life. I've never had the concerns many people do over how other people see me. I grew up not having a choice...well I guess there was always the choice of not using assistive devices but that would have meant less independence for me and that is simply NOT something I would choose. If having more independence means I use a wheelchair at times or I use various devices to help me do things that I'd not be able to otherwise do, then so be it. I quite simply am not worried about what other people think. So pain has taught me to care little for doing things certain ways to keep up an expected appearance or to be like other people. My health issues require me to do things MY way and because of that, I've learned that I am the only judge of what's right and wrong for how I get things done. Do what works best for you, even if it means going against how things have always been done. So in a way, pain has taught me to follow the beat of my own drummer I guess. I don't have to be like everyone else and do things like everyone else to feel good about myself. <br />
<br />
Pain has also taught me to have a stronger faith. I've had to rely on God to sustain me through some rough times. And I don't know that I'd have gotten through some of those times as well as I did without that reliance. Being told I was unlikely to walk again could have been a harsh blow. But, after hearing that, I wasn't destroyed emotionally. I prayed, and a sense of comfort enveloped me. I knew that whether I walked again or not, I would still be able to do what I'd been doing before going into the hospital. Just because I couldn't walk didn't mean I lost value as a person. In fact, that would open me up to be more understanding of things others were going through as well. <br />
<br />
So all in all, if not for pain, I certainly would NOT be the person I am today. My body may not be in great working order, but, that's just life. Yes, I have pain 24/7 and in fact do not remember a pain-free life. But it could be so much worse. My needs are met; I'm blessed with relatives, chosen family and friends whom I love; I have faith that no matter what the future holds, everything happens for a reason. I have so much to be thankful for in spite of my health issues. I am blessed with a wonderful medical team who cares and does their best to help me. So yes, life with pain is not the optimal choice. But, it has taught me quite a bit of positive stuff. I believe our experiences make us into the people we are. So without my pain, I'd not be the person I am. It has made me more mature (pain as a kid has a way of making you grow up fast) and made me more compassionate toward others. I'm more tenacious than I would be had I not grown up with pain. Our experiences mold us into the person we are. How we respond to trials and challenges IS a choice whether we like to admit it or not. We can respond to pain by being angry, bitter, and unhappy but when pain changes us into that kind of a person, then it has defeated us. We also could respond by choosing to find happiness in spite of the pain, by knowing that while pain may do its best to break our bodies, it will not make us into a person we do not want to be, and we can choose to grow in spite of (or even because of) the pain. When we respond in these kinds of ways, then no matter what pain has done to our bodies, it has not defeated us. Just as with any other trial in life, pain can make us a better person, or it can make us a bitter person. I may have had to physically give in to pain but, because I have taken the experiences pain has given me and made the choice to not let them make me into that bitter person, then pain has not defeated me but has made me a better person. <br />
<br />
Does all of this make me wise? By the first definition: having experience, knowledge and good judgment, it may. I have had much experience with pain, more than I'd like. But whether it is enough is a subjective question. To one person who has no experience, they may see my experiences as being sufficient to feel they are wise yet to someone who has more experiences than I do, I would not be. The same is true for my knowledge about pain. As for good judgment, well, that is even more subjective than the other two items. Someone who is against using pain medications would see my use of them as unwise. For those who feel the use of pain medications for their intended purpose is an appropriate course of treatment, then I am only doing what is standard for pain care, which is a wise idea. <br />
<br />
For me, the use of pain medications as well as any other medication is unwise <i>only</i> if the risks outweigh the benefits; if I get decent pain control, have few side effects and what side effects I do have are tolerable or easily treatable, then the risks are worth the benefits I get. The test for me is whether my life is improved in some way given all of the variables. Since I am treated at a wonderful pain office, my medications, side effects, interactions etc are well monitored. The dose is carefully chosen to avoid the harshest side effects while giving me the most relief possible. Finding that dose is not always easy. Even finding the appropriate medication is not easy. For many people, a medication works fine for awhile and then tolerance sets in. Some tolerance is a good thing because it leads to feeling less bothered by some of the typical side effects. For a patient who has never taken an opioid pain medication, starting one can lead to nausea. But for the person who needs that medication to control their pain, after they have taken a medication for awhile (usually approximately 2 weeks of regular use) the nausea will subside. If it doesn't, then that medication may not be the right one for them. It depends on how bad the side effects are, how much relief they get, and other things such as medication interactions, allergic reactions etc. <br />
<br />
One thing we must remember, each person has a different view on this issue. And because each of us meet pain in very different ways, we must respect that we will all respond different. Many people would rather not have the lessons pain has taught them. And that is understandable. We should not presume to tell them that they are wrong. But, the same is true for those who value the lessons that pain has taught them. Two people could have the exact same experiences with pain and yet what is right for one. would be completely wrong for the other. Just because I view pain a certain way, does not mean that my view is how everyone should see their pain. Even my opinion on how letting pain make you bitter, angry etc means you've been defeated by pain, is quite simply that, just my opinion. Other people may not feel the same way I do. Life is not as black and white as we make it out to be.<br />

I was going through Mary's FB pics from her trip here last month and just kept going farther back and found this. As hard as it is for most people with chronic pain, I am blessed in that I KNOW certain family and friends, unfortunately, truly do understand my pain and my limits. <br />

Many people run into trouble with in-laws not getting it, but my in-laws all understand since almost all of the females have been touched by RA or fibro, etc. My guys are great about understanding and not making me feel feel bad... I still do but that's just normal. <br />
<br />
Mary and Mom both understand because they both live it. Some friends do try to protect me from myself when I am overdoing it or am considering doing something that would not be a great idea. Some friends and family just do not get it though. And there's nothing I can do to make them get it sadly. <br />
<br />
I've written a piece about what RA is like but that doesn't even help some people understand. I was once told that what I wrote was "too negative" and "too dark", but unfortunately that's what RA and other chronic illnesses are at times: dark and negative. That's not to say there aren't light and happy times. For many of us, those times are what keep us going during the dark times. And in all honesty, there are times the positive far outweighs the negative, and it is precisely those times that keep us going during the negative times. Having had a pretty rough period, I know that if not for those positive times during that rough period, as well as the prayers and good thoughts of people all over the world that I'd not have done as well as I did. <br />
<br />
No one likes to be limited. But, in all the years of living with RA, one thing I've learned is to do my best to focus rather on what I CAN do than what I cannot do or what I am limited in doing. That lesson was brought home to me at the nursing home. Any progress was celebrated. And with Jim, the word "set-back" was not in his vocabulary it seems. There were times I felt a flare was a set-back, but not Jim. He kept telling me that IF I went back in the hospital or did something incredibly dumb (my term) and got injured then I could say that was a set-back. But he was right (as he usually is!) and something that is (or should be) a normal and expected part of a disease process happening is NOT a true set-back and therefore should be viewed as just part of living with a chronic illness. </div>

I had my bi-monthly pain appt. It went as it always does. Spent a bit
letting Stacy know life is as usual, she asks the standard "How have
things been?" question that I know answering with "fine" will get me the
look. I don't know exactly how to describe that look either. It's
almost one of those Mom looks that we use when we know there's more to
the story than what we're being told. But it's not quite as maternal as
the Mom look. But it's a look that says she KNOWS there's more to it
than what I am telling her. I told her that there's nothing more than
the normal ups and downs of life with chronic illness. That I couldn't
complain....to which she replied, "Yes you can." I had to laugh at that
because we've discussed in the past how complaining about the normal
stuff that can't be changed does me no good. I told her about my new
meds. We discussed my request to change how I take my Neurontin and
Robaxin. If I took meds as they are supposed to be scheduled it'd go a
bit like this:</div>
<ul>
<li>
6 am: Neurontin, Robaxin, Prednisone, Vesi-Care, Provigil, Plaquenil,
Omeprazole, Calcium, a Multivitamin and then 2 ea. Methadone and
Guaifenesin.</li>
<li>
9 am: Oxycodone Technically it's PRN and I don't take it if I don't
need it, but when I am up early, I am usually getting myself cleaned up
and dressed around that time of day and need it then. At the nursing
home, most of my nurses didn't ask or make me ask if I
wanted it since they knew I always wanted it.</li>
<li>
12pm: Neurontin, Robaxin, Metoprolol ER</li>
<li>
2pm: 2 Methadone</li>
<li>
6pm: Neurontin, Robaxin, Acyclovir, Oxycodone (PRN)</li>
<li>
10pm: 2 Methadone</li>
<li>
12am: Neurontin, Zanaflex, Plaquenil, Folic Acid, Arava</li>
<li>
3am: Oxycodone (PRN if I am awake and need it, which is many nights)</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
That's a bit much. 4hrs at most between doses. And that list doesn't
include any Salagen, which I can have twice a day or anything for
headaches. It's a lot better than one of the nursing home med schedules
they had me on. It was wacky. I didn't have but 2 hrs between a doses a
couple times a day. I took meds at 6am, 8am, 9am, 12pm, 2pm, 3pm, 6pm,
8pm, 9pm, 12am & 3am. That didn't last long and thankfully Dr Wilson
was great when I told him it was driving me nuts. He sent the unit mgr
to work out the schedule I wanted. I don't know if that happens with too
many people. But he was also the doc that if I asked for a med and a
nurse backed me, I definitely got it. It didn't always take a nurse to
back me either. Many times I asked and he said sure. But then again, I am not the type to just ask for meds just to get them. If it were up to me, I'd not need meds. But unfortunately, I do. So I have no choice. I've learned my lesson about leaving RA untreated. It causes more problems than it solves.<br />
<br />
Stacy said that I could adjust the timing within limits. If I wanted to
go longer than 6hrs, I could. Not shorter of course but that's not what I
needed. She changed both the Neurontin and Robaxin scripts to read PRN,
that way if I didn't need them a month after my fill date, the pharmacy
didn't hassle me about not properly taking meds. I appreciated that.
She said I didn't HAVE to take all 3 Robaxin and all 4 Neurontin if I
didn't need them. But I know I need them most of the time. Now when I am
in one of those major fibro flares where I am doing nothing but sleep
12-18 days then I may not need them. But I usually do because I
definitely notice when I miss em. Especially the Neurontin. The
neuropathy gets so bad that I just feel as if my hands are burning and
tingling. And anything touching my feet, including socks, has me in that
amped up pain state. So because she said I could make changes, I am
gonna. What I am doing is dropping the Zanaflex and taking 3 Robaxin a
day. Or if I get to where it's not letting me sleep, I have 2 other
options. I can double up on Neurontin at bedtime if the neuropathy
becomes an issue. The other thing I can do is drop to 2 Robaxin and take
Zanaflex at bedtime. That may be what I end up doing. IDK yet. Now with the changes, my med schedule looks like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>6am: Neurontin, Robaxin, Prednisone, Plaquenil, Provigil, Vesi-Care, Metoprolol ER, Prilosec, and 2 each of Methadone and Guaifenesin</li>
<li>10am: Oxycodone PRN</li>
<li>2pm:Acyclovir, Neurontin, Robaxin, and 2 Methadone</li>
<li>6pm: Oxycodone PRN I only take this if I <i>really</i> need it, although many times, I don't need it. </li>
<li>10pm: Neurontin*, Robaxin, Folic Acid, Arava, Plaquenil, and 2 Methadone. *I am allowed a second Neurontin if I need it. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
She was glad I had success with Candyce. We were discussing the addition
of acyclovir to my med list because of shingles. That got us discussing
the shingles vaccine and whether people who have had shingles can get
the vaccine. I thought I'd read that they could but didn't know for sure. (I looked again when I got home. And that is what I'd read. So I left her a FB msg about that.) Then as
she walked me out to the desk I told her again how glad I was to be back
in her care. She hugged me and thanked me for saying that. Then I just
had to wait on Gar to finish up with his 2 runs. He had 2 ppl at appts
and needed to run them home, then he switched vehicles and got his
paperwork for today so he could just come home when he picked me up. I
kinda crashed for a bit, then looked up the info I wanted to find for
Stacy and sent it to her and called Mom and that was it. I was wiped
out. <br />
<br />
Now I have NOTHING appt wise until 9/25 when I see Stacy at 2 and then labs at 3:30 and I see Candyce at 3:45! That will be interesting!

Follow-Up with New Nurse Practitioner</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another good visit all in all. The nurse Joyce is great. Shocked her by telling her a bit of my past. Especially about the not walking part and docs at the hospital saying how it was unlikely I'd do so or even live at home. Her jaw dropped and she said, "So where are you living now.?" When I told her that I've been home since Nov. 2011, she was happy to hear that. I've somehow managed to drop 2lbs. It took no time for Candyce to come in. I like her. She's not the type to sugar coat things. She did acknowledge that she had to tell me things she knew I was likely aware of just to make sure I knew. It was nice to have it acknowledged that I am a pretty-well informed patient. There's a lot of good news/bad news. Good news on x-rays: my cartilage in my knees is not bad. Which leads to the bad news (that was no shock to me as I had a guess what showed. The pain and swelling is RA, not OA. There's erosions, which to be honest is not shocking as out of the 28 years I've had JRA/RA, I wasn't on DMARDs until 2002. I was on Plaquenil/MTX in varying doses for a little over a year in 2002-03, then off meds until 2006. And then I was on MTX, Arava, Imuran, Enbrel, Humira, and Remicade in various combos until Aug 2008 when I went off Remicade because I lost insurance. I did have Arava, Neurontin and some other meds until Dec 2008 when I got sick on Dec 12 with what I had thought was the stomach flu at first, but after 3 days realized was likely not the flu and was possibly another UTI. Then no DMARD until I restarted Arava in 2010. But that's another story for another day...or week. So the fact there are erosions in my knees, hands, and wrists wasn't too shocking. She doesn't think Arava is enough which is why she added Plaquenil, it's as much for the Sjogren's as it is the RA as she did say Arava doesn't really help Sjogren's. She is planning adding Rituxan but NOT until I can deal with the dental issues that the Sjogren's has caused, because she said to do so is basically sepsis waiting to happen! Even if she felt the risks outweighed the benefits, which I don't see any sane, responsible doc doing in my case, I'm not too willing to risk it, given what all happened the last time I had sepsis. Missing 3 full months and large chunks of another 6-9mo of my life is NOT something I want to risk if I can help it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Again she addressed issues before I could ask my questions! On my list was med refills and we started with that list. I also wanted to ask about her mention of a shingles preventative at my first visit. I wondered if, since the treatment for shingles is the same med as for other forms of herpes (antivirals like <span class="small"> <a href="http://www.drugs.com/acyclovir.html" title="acyclovir systemic for Consumers">acyclovir</a></span>, <span class="small"><a href="http://www.drugs.com/valacyclovir.html" title="valacyclovir systemic for Consumers">valacyclovir</a></span>, and <span class="small"><a href="http://www.drugs.com/cdi/famciclovir.html" title="famciclovir systemic for Consumers">famciclovir</a>) </span>and the maintenance dose to help lessen the chance of outbreaks of the other forms is taking the med that treats it in a lower dose daily. I don't recall what I was on dose wise for treatment but she verified that I was right in thinking that the treatment and preventative meds are the same ones and she put me on acyclovir 200 mg, once a day. (I later recalled that the 3 times I do remember being treated for shingles, I took meds something like 5 times a day, and the dose of acyclovir for treating shingles is 800mg 5x/day.) She also decided that since my BP was up (for me not as much as it has been in the past) around 140/110 we're treating it. She chose a beta-blocker, metoprolol er 50mg/day. I was on metoprolol in the past. So that's good because I don't recall any side effects. Except good ones, such as less headaches, because it lowers my BP. When my BP is high, I tend to get really bad headaches.<br />
<br />
My DEXA scan showed severe (although she didn't give me the numbers) osteoporosis (OPO). Again, just part of corticosteroids, although I forgot to mention that I'd had the OPO dx long before ever taking any form of corticosteroids. And of course she is putting me on something for that. I don't have details yet; she said I'll probably get a call within a week or two. She is referring me to a place called <a href="gttp://www.palmettoinfusion.com/" target="_blank">Palmetto Infusion </a>(where I went for my Remicade) for <a href="http://www.reclast.com/" target="_blank">Reclast</a>. She likes that it's once a year and I'm done. Little chance of me being non-compliant! I am good with that. But she said it will do little good to start Reclast unless she also addresses the issue with my Vit D being very low (again no mention of level). I can ask for copies of labs and the results of the DEXA and x-ray reports. I just had so much on my mind that getting that was the last thing on my mind! So she prescribed Vit. D3 50,000 IU once a week for 12 weeks. I did forget to ask if she wanted me to continue calcium w/vit D or switch to straight calcium and what dose she prefers me on so I called and left a msg with Joyce about that.<br />
<br />
Her plan for AFTER I deal with my teeth is to have me get <a href="http://www.rituxan.com/" target="_blank">Rituxan</a> infusions. And then after awhile on that and <i>hopefully</i> seeing the improvements many people see, she will send me to a DO who has a good success rate with helping contractures as well as starting pool therapy. I need to let her know of the issue I have with even heated pools causing me to have serious muscle problems for days after being in the pool and doing nothing (since I can't swim) but stand in shoulder deep water. But, who knows, I may not have that reaction any longer since I am on meds and when I had that reaction I wasn't. That was right around my fibro dx. She did say IF I wanted PT we could discuss it then. So basically neither she nor Dr K wants me to have PT right now! Which is good and bad. So I get to look for options for dental ins. and possibly have to wait out the pre-existing issues clauses. But I'm not dealing with ANYTHING else health related today except a stop at the pharmacy. Tomorrow is soon enough. But today I have other plans!<br />
<br />
I have the remainder of the eye testing Thurs. and then NOTHING ELSE until the end of July! YAY!!!! I don't go back to Candyce until 9/25. She gave me 3 mo of everything with 1 refill on everything except the Arava and Vit D. So, can't complain there! My biggest concern was not knowing how she was on pred use and then what happens when it started causing cataracts. But she seemed to feel as I do about it. She acknowledged that she was sure I knew a few things about pred but that it is a band-aid approach that controls the symptoms not the disease. I am aware of that but given I cannot take NSAIDs daily, pred is my best option (although somewhere I read that it has DMARD-like properties in addition to the anti-inflammatory ones but that's not many who feel that's true). She also said that cataracts are common with pred use, especially in higher doses or with long-term use, both of which fit me. Although that high dose no longer applies and I am trying hard to keep it that way! And so aside from forgetting I needed that script, which she asked me to double check and make sure she got em all and when I looked, I missed that she skipped 2 meds I needed. I caught one before either of us left the office, just as she was walking out the door, but the pred I didn't catch until late last night when I was telling Mom about my new meds. But I have enough to last until sometime in July so I can call and ask them to either call it in or have Gar pick it up sometime between now and when I run out. </div>

Today I had an eye appt because I needed to have a baseline exam done since I just recently started taking Plaquenil again. Turns out it was a good thing but not because of the Plaquenil. The problem with Plaquenil is that it can cause retinopathy. So when a patient starts taking it, they need to have an exam within 12 mo of beginning the med. Normally it needs to be done by an ophthalmologist. The doctor I went to is technically an optometrist but they have the proper training and equipment to do the needed testing. I noticed on their website that they do treat diabetic retinopathy, so obviously they know what they're doing. They do have an ophthalmologist that does come in weekly. I had called to set up my appt, told them the testing I needed and expected them to say I had to wait for the day the ophthalmologist was in. But it was explained to me that their optometrists were trained to do everything the ophthalmologist could do except eye surgery. In that case, I don't care either way who does the testing as long as they know what they're doing and are familiar with what I need to have checked and done. We set my appt for 3:45 and so I arranged for transport. I knew I was having my eyes dilated. That's part of the testing. They called me that morning to say the doctor I was scheduled to see had to go out of town and did I want to come in around 9:30am? I couldn't change my transportation so she asked if I minded seeing a different doctor. I told her I didn't mind as long as they knew what I needed. So I got there and got checked in. I don't think I waited even 10 min before they called me back. </div>

The tech did a test of my peripheral vision and said I saw ALL of them!!
Then we dilated my eyes. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be from my
memories as a kid. The doctor was a younger guy, mid to late 20s. Very
nice. Asked about my nickname, but then when I said that I DO go by
Wayney most places, his reply was "I am going to call you Mrs Porter"
which is up to him but makes me feel old. I ought to tell him Mrs.
Porter is my hubby's grandma! He did a few of the needed tests
today as it was kinda late in the day, I go back next Thurs to finish up
one or two exams. I have almost 20/20 vision but need reading glasses,
which I already have in the strength he said I needed.
There was only one small hitch in the appt. A teensy weeensy bit of news that's neither surprising nor good. I am farsighted and because of this barely
there problem, he said it's as if my eyes have to work doubly hard to
see as well as they do. The problem? I have the beginnings of a cataract
in my right eye. Oh lovely. As I said, I'm not too surprised. Not much
surprises me medically anymore I don't think. So it's something to just
keep an eye on, no pun intended (my words not his). So aside from the
knowledge that I'll more than likely be having cataract surgery in the
future, it was a good check-up. I was honest with him about knowing
what caused me to start getting a cataract at age 35, 20mg/day of pred
for an extended period of time. Aside from burst and tapers, I hope I
never get on that high of a dose again. But it was justifiable at the
time. I don't blame Dr T at all as I knew full well the risks and just
couldn't face how much pain I was in and how much stiffness I had
without it and how the dose needed to be where it was to keep me comfortable.<br />

I did ask what his opinion on testing for Plaquenil induced retinopathy
was and he said up to the 5 yr mark and especially if taking doses of
more than 400mg/day, then the risk is higher than for those taking less
than 400mg/day and on it less than 5yrs. I believe he said before the
5yr mark, the incidence of problems is about 1%. I think it is a
tolerable risk as low as it is. And he did make sure to warn me about the long lasting affects of Plaqenil.<br />

Some resources about Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) and retinopathy:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.rheumatology.org/practice/clinical/position/hydroxyp2.pdf" target="_blank">Screening for Hydroxychloroquine Retinopathy</a> 08/2011 <img alt="a pdf file" height="15" src="http://www.rheumatology.org/images/pdf_icon.png" width="15" /> This is the American College of Rheumatology Position Statement </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is a commonly used medication in the management of various rheumatic diseases. Standard doses used by rheumatologists are 200mg to 400mg per day. Although serious toxicity with hydroxychloroquine is very unusual, the most important is retinal toxicity. More than forty years of experience in monitoring retinal toxicity has documented that it is extremely rare. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) has reviewed the cumulative experience with hydroxychloroquine and has published updated recommendations for retinal toxicity monitoring summarized below. Ophthalmology 2011;118:415-422. The purpose of monitoring is to recognize early toxicity, not the prevention of toxicity. Once abnormalities are observed, toxicity has occurred and it may not be reversible. While there is a strong suggestion from the literature that toxicity is cumulative with adose greater than1000 grams and duration of treatment over 7 years, the majority of cases involved doses of more than 6.5 mg/kg/day and more than 5 years of use. Of more than one million patients using hydroxychloroquine, fewer than 20 cases have been documented with doses less than 6.5 mg/kg/day, and all occurred after 5 years of use. The AAO is concerned that retinal toxicity, although rare, may be more common than previously recognized, based on a study by F. Wolfe et al which found risk exceeded 1% after 5 years.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Patients beginning hydroxychloroquine therapy should be informed of the possibility, although <br />
extremely rare, of retinal toxicity and that periodic monitoring can limit the toxicity by early recognition. The AAO recommends that the following factors be taken into consideration when assessing increased risk for hydroxychloroquine toxicity: cumulative dose of 1000 g, treatment for more than 7 years, obesity, significantliver or kidney disease or advanced age, and pre-existing retinal, macular disease or cataracts. </blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
All individuals starting these drugs should have a complete baseline ophthalmologic examination within the first year of treatment including examination of the retina through a dilated pupil and testing of central visual field sensitivity by an automated threshold central visual field testing (Humphrey 10-2 testing). Examination by Amsler grid is no longer recommended as it is deemed too dependent on patient interpretation. If available, examination by an objective test such as multifocalelectroretinography (mfERG), spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), or fundus autofluorescence testing (FAF) is also recommended. If the patient is considered low risk and these examination results are normal, the AAO recommendation is that no further special ophthalmologic testing for hydroxychloroquine toxicity is needed for the next 5 years. Some ophthalmologists may elect to screen more often based on the patient’s age and other risk factors. For patients who are considered high risk, annual eye examination is recommended without the initial 5 year delay. If any abnormality is detected by Humphrey 10-2 testing or retinal examination, follow up with the previously mentioned objective testing is imperative. The sensitivity and specificity of each of these objective tests for hydroxychloroquine toxicity is still being determined. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If toxicity is suspected or documented, ideally the drug should be stopped. However, there are situations when this is not an easy decision, e.g., if the impression of toxicity is early or tenuous, or if the treatment has been very effective. Alternatives to hydroxychloroquine are potentially more toxic. The rheumatologist, ophthalmologist and patient can make a cooperative decision to stop the drug or cautiously continue it with close monitoring, with the knowledge that some vision could be lost. </blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Appropriate standards for children and adolescents have not been sufficiently addressed in the available literature. Retinal abnormalities or new interference with vision (including color vision) can be an indication of toxicity and should be discussed with the consulting ophthalmologist on an urgent basis. Useof hydroxychloroquine in children younger than 7 years of age may be <br />
limited by difficulty in obtaining satisfactory evaluation of color vision in this age group. For this reason, the pediatric age group should receive an annual examination, as a minimum standard of care, until definitive studies in children suggest increasing this monitoring interval. </blockquote>

Dogg's Burgers' Cheeseburger is 2 patties that are ¼ lb each. This one
has bacon, grilled onion, ketchup, and mayo. Their Jr burgers are a
single ¼ lb patty so if you're not hungry order a Jr burger. This tasted
GREAT!!! Dripping with grease is not good, but neither so so dry there's no juices or grease left. This burger was nice and juicy. Some grease is ok, it adds an extra flavor. So it wasn't too greasy. It had a little. If there's too much I blot it off with a napkin and didn't need to here. The grilled flavor was good. A bit of smokiness gave it that freshly grilled taste. The burger was cooked so that it was not well done. I'd probably call it more medium-well. The bacon was nice and crisp, not fatty, limp and tough to eat. The buns were so soft. There were generous amounts of ketchup and mayo, but not so much it dripped off the burger. The grilled onions were grilled to a nice sweet softness, not at all mushy as onions sometimes can be when grilled too long. The fries were very good despite my initial thought that they were browned too much to be tasty. The onion rings were very tasty. The batter didn't fall apart as some onion rings do. The onions were sweet yet still had a bit of a bit to them. Mini said the hot dogs were great. He even liked the onion rings! He's not that fond of cooked onions but will eat onion rings at times and he liked these. I think the batter was something he said was REALLY good and he'd like to have the batter without the onion even. We told him batter needed to cling to something so it can be fried. </span></div>

dogs. Mini was gonna order their "ding-a-ling" which is a foot long hot
dog, but the waitress asked if he thought he could eat 4 hot dogs. He said yeah and
she was shocked, then he added to her shock by saying he's eaten more
than that a number of times and that she should see him eat pizza! So she said that it would be better to order
that way. She was VERY friendly, provided great service, was there when
we needed her but wasn't suffocating. There was a gentleman who came over
to ask where we are from and we mentioned being locals and he said he is too.
IDK if that was an employee, the owner or a customer. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="userValue" id="061112172326jpg796550_desc" style="background-color: transparent;">I couldn't eat ALL
of my meal. I took half of my burger home with me. Mini helped with some
of my fries and onion rings. And between BC and I we had enough rings left over
for a snack for him later. My burger was great when we got home. I
thought of heating it up but decided to just eat it and it tasted great
still. I have a feeling we will be going back! </span><br />
<br />
<span class="userValue" id="061112172326jpg796550_desc" style="background-color: transparent;">I am also proud of Mini for something that happened. There was a little boy there, probably 5 at most. His mother worked there I guess. But he was hanging around and when Mini went to check out the video games and the claw machine, he started talking to Mini. I gave Mini some money to get quarters so he could play between hot dogs. Kept him from eating too fast. And of course that drew the little boy over. Mini was nice to him, patient and then when he came back to eat, the little boy was talking to him. Mini apparently wanted to be nice but he also wanted to eat uninterrupted. So he took a quarter and asked the little boy if he'd like to play a game while he waited on Mini to finish eating. That made the little boy so happy. I know a lot of adults would have brushed the little boy off. And even a lot of kids Mini's age might have brushed the boy off. But, Mini came up with a way of getting to eat without having to answer a bunch of questions while also making the little boy happy. I was definitely proud of him for that. After he finished eating, Mini went back over and they played until we were done. </span><br />

They also have seafood meals I believe, salads and some desserts. Definitely give them a try if you're in the Myrtle Beach, SC area! </span><br />

I had an appt today with a new NP. She specializes in rheumatology and that is her bigger concern right now
than anything else. I got there a little early and had my paperwork all
filled out. Thanks to Foxit PDF Editor I was able to type all my info
after I downloaded the forms from the office's website. Much easier on
my hands! When the nurse called me back, she kept telling me I needn't
rush. But I wasn't rushing so much as I am conscious of the fact that I
need to try to pick up my speed when I am on a flat surface with few
obstacles. I tend to try to pick up the speed just because on that kind
of surface, I CAN walk a bit faster. We weighed me and I let her know
that my braces are 6lbs since I cannot take them off and stand up to be
weighed. She took me into the exam room and asked if I could get up on
the table. Yup. She stood close enough to grab me if I had a problem.
She commented on the forms. Asked me who typed em up and when I said I
did, she thanked me because so often, it's hard to read patient's
writing. I said that is part of why I did it on the computer as well as
how much writing hurts after awhile. She took my BP and it was a tad
high. 130ish over 80something. She attributed it to me rushing. It was
possibly that or the pain from this flare. She was REALLY nice. She did
decide not to have me change to the gown for my exam, although it
wouldn't have been a problem. <br />
<br />
When the NP came in, she was really nice. Asked lots of questions, and
in asking her questions she basically addressed all but one item on my
list. The only thing we didn't go over was me wanting some Voltaren Gel.
But I decided to wait because I know there had been shortages of it
recently so I decided to see if that had changed before asking. Why
waste her time and mine if there was a shortage still? She is concerned
about lupus. She didn't say if her concern was RA plus lupus OR that
I've been misdiagnosed all these years. I told her I'd been tested but
always negative. Which means NOTHING really. Last I read, 5% of people
with lupus were sero-negative. And I've read anywhere from 20-30% of
people with RA are. I've only seen the 25% and 30% figures a few times;
20% is the common number of sero-negative people. She wants me on
Plaquenil. And of course that requires the baseline eye exam for
retinopathy. Of course she also did labs and a U/A. I hate trying to fill
the cup given my hand issues. It's never easy. I got my blood drawn.
The ladies in the lab at the internist's office were nice. I went in and
they were trying to tie up things. And one of the ladies said she was
ready to scream as she misplaced something she JUST had. The other one
said not to scream since a pt was in the room. I told her go ahead.
I've been around healthcare long enough to know sometimes you just need
to scream. When the woman came over and asked where it's best to get my
labs, I said it was her choice and offered both arms or the back of
both hands. I told her some people have a lot of problems with my arms
and the veins rolling a lot. And I have a lot of scar tissue from the 28
years of labs. So she decided to use the back of my right hand. The one
who wanted to scream said they'd get it, they could get it from pretty
much anywhere: arms, hands, feet, head. I laughed and said that I've had
labs and IVs in all those but my head. I commented that I wouldn't
watch her put the needle in but I wasn't gonna pass out or anything. I
just found looking away lowers the pain. I found that out years ago. And
then I mentioned that study I recently posted on the subject. She said
they've told people that for years. <br />
<br />
The NP will NOT start me on a biologic until my mouth is fixed, because
it's a breeding ground for the germs that cause sepsis. I wasn't
surprised. My teeth needed work before I went into the hospital and they
worsened there. I am not wanting to risk sepsis at all. Been there,
done that, got the scars to show. I wonder if I really need a biologic
as it is. I am hesitant to use one because of my past with what happened
because of Remicade. I wonder if using just an older DMARD, in my case
Arava and now combining it with Plaquenil (I believe she said that was
more for the Sjogren's but I'm not 100% sure) might be enough. I've had a
number of flares in the last year, but a lot of it starts as a fibro
flare that causes my muscles to be stiff and sore, plus the fatigue.
That means I don't move as much which means my joints stiffen up more.
So often that's what happens. It's rare to have a flare start with RA. I
mentioned to her that it'd take a lot of Valium for me to be able to
face the dentist and she said they'd put me out with all that needs
done. Yay. I can handle that as long as I don't have to listen to the
sounds of what they're doing. I hate my mouth being messed with. I also
hate mouth pain. I can tolerate a good bit of pain without little
complaint. My pain doc is amazed at my tolerance. But when it's mouth
pain, I am not so good with that. <br />
<br />
I also have to get x-rays and a DEXA scan. She's asked for hands and
knees but not my feet since that would mean standing and that's kinda
impossible for me! I got that appt scheduled for Wed. The eye doc is
Thurs. and I go back to the NP next Mon. I absolutely do NOT think Gar
needs to be taking off work that much in that short a time to drive me
to the doc's. So I decided to use medical transport. I can certainly
request the company he works for although it's not a guarantee I'll get
it. I did tell them I HAD to have either a mini-van or a car as I cannot
step into larger vans. Calling to schedule transportation was a hassle
and a half. I see why clients get annoyed. Unfortunately many take it
out on the drivers who have NOTHING to do with the company who schedules
the transportation. The company that Medicaid has the contract with to
do scheduling is one I don't think I've EVER heard anything good about.
The people who had to deal with them at the nursing home ALL said it was
a hassle. The people at the cab companies mentioned the hassle. Gar has
had ONE complaint since he's been a medical driver and it was NOT a
client complaint, it was the company that schedules transport and they
complained over the mistake that occurred that left him at a dialysis
center OVERNIGHT. The office manager/scheduler at the company he works
for defended him, they pulled the GPS to prove he stayed within a few
miles of the office. He did leave shortly after dropping the client off
to grab a bite to eat, go to the restroom etc. And then later that
evening he left for food and the restroom. So I knew before making the
call that it wasn't going to be fun. And it wasn't. I had to repeat
info 3-4 times. I can handle giving my info and then them reading it
back to verify it, and she did that AFTER me having to repeat things
multiple times. It was VERY annoying! Then since I had 2 appts. I
figured she'd take my info for one, then take info for the second. OH
NO! "I'm going to have to ask you to hang up and call again to schedule
your other appt because of the high call volume we are experiencing
today." They'd not have so much trouble if they didn't hire idiots who
can't listen! I needless to say waited a bit to call back and I was SO
hoping I got a different person. No such luck. I know they monitor calls
or tape them and I know they have scripts at times, but I look at it
this way, if the caller has addressed something, they are wasting the
caller's time to repeat it multiple times! Even before requested the
company Gar works for I said "I know you cannot guarantee this and it
could be ANY company that this is assigned to but I'd like to request
DiamondMed." She said "I'll put that in but I can't guarantee it." I
was almost at the end of my rope with her because of having to repeat
things so often and then her telling me what I had already said I knew. I
finally said that I had already said I understood that and wasn't an
idiot who needed told what I already acknowledged. Then I said I needed
to add a stop at the pharmacy when I went home. She said she needed to
know when they needed to pick me up at the doc's office. Now, how am I
supposed to know when I will be done with a dr's appt? If I were going
for an infusion or something that'd be different. Or even if it were a
monthly appt like with Stacy where I could judge how long it would take.
I have no clue. I told the woman I had no idea. My last appt was at
3:20pm and left there around 5ish. So I can't guess. I didn't wanna tell
them a later time than I'd be and be stuck there waiting, especially
after the office closes. But if I told them too early of a time, they'd
come, wait a bit and then leave and who knows when I could get a pick up
then. After I call they have an hour to get me. But, that doesn't mean
they will wait very long on me if I am not done when I said I am done.
And she told me that if I need to go to the pharmacy, I HAD to schedule a
pick up time, they cannot do a will call. So I said forget the
pharmacy. I'll figure that one out on my own then. Actually I will just
hand Gar the script and he'll drop it off as he drives by of a morning
and pick it up that evening when he drives back by. Or if he is in the
area and has wait time then he'll pick it up and possibly run it to me. I
was just trying to save him that trouble. I have GOT to find some time
to go try my driving so I know if I can get my license or not. <br />
<br />
I did get an idea of a good eye doc. It's an office that has both
optometrists and an ophthalmologist. I checked out their site before
calling them. One thing I noticed is they take care of diabetic
retinopathy, which made me think they could do what I needed as the
problem with Plaquenil is that it causes retinopathy. So I took the
chance since they would work for me and called. When I explained what I
needed, they said yes they could help me. And I didn't have to wait for
the one day the ophthalmologist was there as their optometrists have the
training to do everything the ophthalmologist does EXCEPT surgery. Ok,
works for me. That seems to be a rare thing as most optometrists don't
have the equipment or training to do the baseline exam. I did verify
that I was ok starting the Plaquenil before my appt as it takes so long
to really get in my system and it takes a bit of time to do the damage.
Some sites I read say even up to a year after starting for doing a
baseline. Just on my own, I'd say it'd not be good to wait a year. But
it's not like it's instant either. I was surprised when I read the new
ACR guidelines I posted the other day, they now say IF the first check
is good and you don't have any symptoms, you can wait 5 yrs to do a
follow-up exam. I was really surprised as it's always been every 6 mo if
you have a more conservative doc or yearly if you have a less
conservative doc. I'll find out how conservative mine is later on I
guess.<br />
<br />Lab-wise, she ordered ANA with Reflex, C3 and C4, CBC with Diff, CCP Igg
Abs, CMP, T4, TSH, and Vit. D (25-hydroxy). I know I looked some of
these up but not all of them and it has been awhile. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That was my appt. She was really nice. I liked her. When I checked my
notes to see if we'd covered all that I wanted to, she had covered it
all without me mentioning any of what was on there. I told her that and
she said well she didn't have to ask most of her usual questions either
because I provided such good notes with my pt info packet. I'd listed a
number of things going back as far as I could recall. I included pics of
my leg wound with the cellulitis. How it looked when we came home from
MUSC and then what it looked like when it burst open and how it looked
after they cleaned it up and then how it looked about a yr after it all
happened. I wrote a short history of the hospitalization. A short list
of each dx, when it happened and who dx'd me. I provided names,
addresses and phone #s of prior docs. I even took the release and
duplicated it for Dr T's office, Dr K's office, the hospital and the
nursing home. I also signed the release to have them release info to Gar
and my Mom if need be. I did forget to ask them to send the report to
Stacy but I will add that to my list of things for next Mon. I'll also
ask the eye doc his opinion on how often I should be re-tested. <br />
<br />
Looks like things are falling into place now. I wish it hadn't taken so
long. I honestly wish that the first doc I had at the nursing home
hadn't retired. I LOVED Dr Wilson. He was so laid back. If I needed
ANYTHING, all I had to do was go to one of the nurses I felt most
comfortable with (and whose judgement I trusted) and tell them I'd like a
med or needed a shot and if they thought it was a good idea, they told
me and then made it happen; if they felt it was a bad idea, they told me
and we either found an alternative or we tried what I wanted). When I
complained about how my meds were scheduled, he told me to speak to the
unit mgr and we could sit down and figure out a schedule that was better
for me and he'd write the needed changes. His son is an internist as
well but their office is in Conway and I didn't wanna have to make the
trip up that often, although I don't mind going every 2 weeks for the
ministry group. So I guess if I had to, I would have checked to see if
he was taking patients. Although no one I know knew much about him. One
thing would have been convenient, Dr L, who did my braces was right next
door. I loved Dr L and his nurse Danni. Actually the whole staff, Miss
Pat and Nancy. are both very nice. I made a comment on FB one day about
the joint on my braces being stiff and squeaky and how I wished it was
as easy to get MY joints to loosen up and stop popping as it is to get
the brace joints to loosen and quit squeaking. She said I should make my
appt to have Dr L look at em. I don't think it's enough for that as it
happened while I was in the nursing home and Jim called Dr L and that
was the fix. They're not squeaking as bad as they had been while it was
winter and when it's rainy. Weird, the brace joints react kinda like my
own do with the weather! </div>WayneyPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03559928368980745578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18409812.post-78039144937649708552012-06-06T15:06:00.000-05:002012-06-06T15:06:27.672-05:00EULAR2012 Abstracts<strong class="bbc"><a class="bbc_url" href="http://www.eular.org/index.cfm?framePage=/congress_home.cfm" rel="nofollow external" title="External link">Abstracts 2012</a><br />

I was going to post the titles and links to the abstracts but there are
over 3400 of them, so I will not be doing that! But I'll post a few that
jump out at me. I am not even taking time to go through all 69 pages of
abstracts. I am also not reading these since I do not wanna have my
eyes glaze over today. I have a bit of a headache and I know plowing
through the scientific abstracts will make it worse. <br />

<span class="bbc">It's been a LONG day.
But fun! I will start with something Gar was telling us Fri night. He
had a run (or two) to Charleston Fri. Well of course on those, he takes
the client to their appt and then has to wait on them, even if they'll
be most of the day. So he usually finds a place to hang out in the van
since he has a DVD player in the van, internet on his phone. He was
hungry Fri so he was gonna run to Walmart I guess. But his GPS lied to
him and told him to turn left and that's where Walmart was. UNH HUH!
Nopers, there was a Marshall's, something else and a few little small
stores. A couple restaurants. A Chinese place, a sushi place, there was a
Chik-Fil-A right there (I had a bad incident at that Chik-Fil-A but not
b/c of their food-had a dr appt and since I'd not seen them thought my
slightly queasy stomach was nerves-nope it was stomach flu and I was
having to make Gar pull over every 10 min for me to be ill) and a pizza
place called <a class="bbc_url" href="http://baronispizza.com/" rel="nofollow external" title="External link">Baroni's</a>. He had a sandwich called the S.P.O. for lunch yesterday. The description of it is:<br />

He RAVED about it, posted a pic on his FB, liked their page on FB and
even commented and got a reply from the owner. Well I'd had a fleeting
thought yesterday that maybe today we could take a road trip but I never
said anything. We all slept late today. Or at least I know Bastian and
I did. I assume Gar did. It was noonish when I woke up. I could NOT get
in my bed last night because someone didn't fall asleep in a way that
allowed me to get in bed or even have my pillow. Or rather the pillow I
stole from him, no he brought it to me when they set my bed up and said I
could use it. I am not a pillow thief I guess. Bastian was SO cute, he
fell asleep READING. Albeit a book on Assassin's Creed but hey he's
reading himself to sleep so I don't mind it being about a video game. He
went to play a game with Gar this morning before I woke a bit after
noon. I'd woke up at 6am to two things. One my med alarm going off and
two, my right foot feeling as if it were being squeezed to death! I'd
fallen asleep in my w/c, wearing my braces, which except for the foot
that was being squeezed like a boa constrictor was on it, was good since
I then didn't have to worry that I'd not be able to fasten the straps
on my braces because of the swelling when I sleep in my w/c. I also woke
around 9am very thirsty. Then around 10. And then finally for good
around noon. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="bbc" style="color: black;">
</span><br />
<span class="bbc" style="color: black;">
Bas came in here and was watching TV for awhile. He decided he was
hungry but came back and said he decided not to eat because Dad said we
were gonna go get pizza. I asked him where but Dad never said. At some
point, Gar came to let me know we were going on a road trip. I asked how
soon we needed to be ready. I had a bit thankfully b/c Barb was napping
for a bit after work, as I was still really stiff around 1pm, which was
med time thankfully. I am now pretty much on a med schedule unless I
don't hear my 6am alarms. And since two meds are taken every 6 hrs and
one is every 8 hrs. I figured out a compromise for ONE dose of the
meds. My am dose they can all be taken together, as can my bedtime dose.
It's the middle 2 doses that are an issue. I'd have to take the 2 meds
at say 12pm and then at 2pm take the other. Then at 6 take the 2 again
and at 10pm take the one. Then 12am the 2. WAY too much hassle, it'd
have me taking meds every 2 hrs which is crazy. Actually every 3 hrs
really because I tend to take my PRN meds at the halfway point of the
ones I take on the 6s and 12s. So I'd take meds at 6am, 9am, 12pm, 2pm,
6pm, 9pm, 10pm 12am and 3am (if I were awake). WAY TOO CRAZY! So I use
the nursing home rule of 1hr before-1hr after dose is due and rather
than doing 12pm and 2pm, I do 1pm. So then I can get away with 6am, 9am,
1pm, 6pm, 9pm, 12am, and if awake 3am. Sometimes I slip a PRN in at 4pm
rather than those 3am ones. I'm rarely awake needing meds at 3am, awake
yes, meds not usually. While he was in here, Gar told Bas he needed to
get dressed. Bas, being his father's son, said "You're not dressed yet
so why do I have to get dressed now?" Gar came back with the answer
every parent has to resort to at some point, "Because I am your father
and said so." Bas basically let him know what he thought of that...which
was no way was he gonna get dressed until we ALL were getting ready! I
said to Gar that that's what he got for having a son who thinks for
himself and is self-confident, a smart-aleck like his father, and is so
funny, basically him as a kid in a way. Needless to say, Gar left, came
back about 10 min later, dressed and said "HA I am dressed now so GO GET
DRESSED!" They were both laughing the whole time. While Bas can sound
like he is a child who doesn't do as he is told or like he back-talks,
he was just playing around and when it's serious. he rarely ever
back-talks. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="bbc" style="color: black;">
</span><br />
<span class="bbc" style="color: black;">
I asked where we were going and got no real answer. I said are we going
south, and got "I'd planned on it." I guess Gar never even told Barb
where we were going. Although about an hour, hour and a half into our
drive, I did figure it out. I don't know why it suddenly hit me, but we
were on this back road, gravel, but had grass growing in the center of
the road, trees on both sides really close to the road, no homes or any
other signs of civilization in sight...no power lines even!!!. It
suddenly popped into my mind what we were doing. And since we were all
hungry, before we left the MB area, when Gar gassed up, we all got a
snack. Bas had his Lil Chub brand sausage, Gar had jerky, I had chips.
Barb didn't have a snack I guess. I have to say, it was a beautiful
drive. A good bit of it was through <a class="bbc_url" href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/scnfs" rel="nofollow external" title="External link">Francis Marion National Forest.</a></span><br />

course what would a family outing with our family be if we did not stop
at a Goodwill? It just would not be right! So we stopped. I found an
outfit, a light purple long sleeve shirt and striped pants that have
black, white, darker purple, light purple and a really thin blue stripe.
Sounds odd but they're cute. A lounge/pj outfit of course. I almost
never wear anything that I can't also sleep in! I dress for comfort MOST
of the time. Esp. for doc appts and most esp for when I have my RFAs. I
gotta be as comfy as possible on the table. And then too, they have to
be something that doc has easy access to my lower back, upper part of my
backside. So it HAS to be comfy, soft, and loose. I made the mistake of
wearing jeans once. NOT a good idea. I'd gotten a bunch of pants the
other day when I went to the doc as well. I have gained a little bit of
weight, just enough that since I like my clothes loose, I needed more pj
pants. Plus, I can't have too many pairs of pj pants now can I? </span></span></span><br />

We finally got to the restaurant between 6 and 7! We didn't rush too
much although Barb did need to get some sleep tonight since she has to
work. But we had these garlic knots as an appetizer. They were so
wonderful. Balls of dough, about the size of a dinner roll, baked and
topped with their roasted garlic and olive oil glaze and sprinkled with
Parmesan cheese. Then there was marinara sauce to dip them in. Barb and I
kept ripping our knots apart and kinda mopping up the glaze that had
pooled on the plate. I just now found out we could have ordered a side
of the roasted garlic and olive oil glaze, so I ever go back, I am gonna
do that. To me, there couldn't have been too much of the glaze on the
knots, but y'all know how I am about my garlic, and esp. roasted garlic.
I just love me some garlic. And it's not a problem with the breath and
kissing my hubby cuz he's as bad as I am about it. We're the same with
onion too although for me to have raw onions they gotta be VERY small.
But, cook em and I'll go nuts on em. We cleaned out a dozen of those
knots in maybe 10 min. Bas saw on the menu how many were in the order
and said "We get 3 each right?" We all kinda laughed and said yes. He
said he just wanted to be fair. And he made sure we all got our three.
Gar and Barb ended up with the same thing, the Sausage Parmigiana
sandwich, w/fries and a pickle spear.</span></span></span><br />

I got The Olympian, minus tomatoes with ranch and bacon pasta salad.It
was odd. They used rotini pasta and it had something on it that wasn't
ranch dressing, then it was topped with a ton of bacon and a good amount
of ranch dressing. The flavor of the pasta w/o the dressing was almost a
citrusy flavor. I meant to ask and forgot. It was WAY too big for me to
eat even half of the pasta salad. I didn't wanna box it up because I
wasn't sure it'd still be good when I got home. But I only ate about a
quarter of my pita, so I have lunch and maybe dinner for tomorrow!<br />

guess it IS summer break so I should cut him some slack. And we have NO
plans for tomorrow that I am aware of. What he doesn't know is that
soon, he's gonna hafta move some cuz I want part of my own bed! I'll end
up sleeping in my usual sitting up position but with my back to the
wall along the side of the bed and my legs laying to width of the bed
rather than the length of it. That way I get a bit of my bed but he can
still sleep in it as well. He has most of the bed this way! I have to
keep a pillow on the bed along my left side or I end up being kicked and
bruised. In fact, I am headed there now as soon as I post this, and
finish one other thing. And then find my book so I can read myself to
sleep hopefully, or read until time to get up. Either way, I'd better
get in bed before I lose my spot to sleep in! I told Bas no more
Netflix on the Ipod. But since I don't sleep without the TV on, he's
decided it needs to be Disney and not infomercials. Gee IDK why he
doesn't like those. Oh well. I hope you all have a great night, sleeping
well, having peaceful dreams. I am off to read my, or drool over my,

<br />
<br />
Is Memorial Day a Hardware sale?
A good price on a garden pail ?
<br />
Did my buddies give their limbs, lives, and sinew
<br />
For chicken, stakes, and barbecue ?
<br />
For The Coward to place a wreath on sacred ground,
<br />
While my comrades are crippled and wheelchair bound
<br />
Did my buddies die in that living green hell.
<br />
For endless rows of cars to sell ?
<br />
For drunks, accidents and long traffic jams,
<br />
Did my buddies perish in Vietnam .
<br />

a Soldier</span></b>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I am
a soldier born to follow or lead.</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">To
serve my country in time of its need;</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">To
protect our great nation with my heart and my soul</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">To
preserve our new freedoms was one of my goals.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I joined
in the struggle [a new nation to forge]</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">And
fought with my brethren to run off King George</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Severely
outnumbered, Red Coats everywhere,</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">To
continue the fighting was so hard to bear.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Finally
it was over; fighting came to a close</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">From
the ashes of tyranny a new nation arose</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I
returned to my family no longer a boy</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">But
a man and a soldier with a heart full of joy.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I am
a soldier, keeping rifle at hand</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">In
defense of our people as we open new land</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I
have sworn to protect with all of my might</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">A
republic of freedom based on that which is right.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I am
a soldier who is sickened at heart</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">At
a nation in danger of breaking apart</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">More
than just vanity has brought us this far;</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Fighting
brother on brother in a great civil war</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">There
will never be peace in the land of the free</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">If
we fail as a nation in the wisdom to see</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">That
our constitution provides for each man's equal due</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Not
just for the many at the expense of a few.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I am
a soldier, who has fought the Great War,</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">In
the trenches of France with a passion to score</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">In
the name of what's holy in the name of what's right</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Against
enemies of liberty, I carried my fight.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">From
the beaches of Normandy to Iwo Jima’s sand,</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Soldiers
died by the thousands in some far distant land</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">They
had shared noble reasons for the lives that they gave---</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">For
the land of the free and the home of the brave.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I am
a soldier, not a demon, as some people believe</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">For
it's not in my nature to kill and cause grief</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I
would rather take up a far greater cause,</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Turning
sword into plowshare without even pause.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">It's
a much better world when we sleep and devise</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> All
those wonderful musings where our hopes come alive</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I
am a soldier with conscience and I wish that I knew</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">How
to use all my power to make dreams come true.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I am
a soldier standing guard through the night</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Supported
by others who join in the fight</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">To
do what it takes we work as a team</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">So
others can share in America's dream.</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">There
are those in this world full of anger and hate</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Who'd
tear down our country; they now stand at our gate.</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">That
so many people have died at their hand</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Should
send out a signal throughout our great land.</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">I will
take up this battle for the families who cried</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">For
the loss of their loved ones who needlessly died.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Yes,
I am a soldier and I’d die if need be,</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">For
your right to be happy and your right to be free.</span></b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each donned their uniform to be </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Defenders of our liberty</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their mission sure, their spirits bright </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guard freedom’s home, be brave to fight </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One final day each faced their call</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each gave their best enduring all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We’ll never know what they went through</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But know they loved this country true</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deep down inside we should all feel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What heroes gave, their cost so real</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We must stay thankful, grateful of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The gift of freedom through their love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their loved ones bore the gravest pain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What we can’t know, some now sustain </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To God I pray their pain will cease</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And each will find long-lasting peace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember this from year to year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What heroes gave – shan’t disappear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We’ll never let their special day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their time for honor slip away </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These brave fought for a nation free</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If not for them, where would we be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
