9/10/11 Keep Moving

One thing I have learned about living with rheumatoid arthritis is to keep moving when you can. I was amazed when I woke up this morning and my ankle felt much better, sore but totally walkable. On my way home from work, I called my husband and offered to stop by the store to pick up what we needed. I was able to walk the store, we only need a few items, but was getting sore and tired when I was checking out.

I'll keep moving as long as can. It would be nice to get some yard work done tomorrow, just have to see how I feel.

I took the health assessment for my insurance, I have reserved feeling about it. I scored 35 out of 100. They tried to suggest I should be worried about my lack of exercise. I think that is the least of my worries as I love to go walking in the mountains, at dollywood, and even window shopping. There were also questions about how many cups of vegetables and fruits do you eat a day. I honest have no clue and guessed. I'm assuming I underestimated.

The health assessment makes me nervous, but we will just have to wait to see what happens. I excited to find a rheumatologist and hope to start searching for one this week. I want to read about the doctor and their recommendation, then see if the insurance will cover them.
