      You're probably right! Nurses work in chaios (sp.?) and when things seem to be going right we worry about what is wrong! Have you let them know you have arthritis and NEED the hot water for a bath? If they have half a heart they may care enough to make you a priority. Have a good day and please let me know what's going on. You know me, I'm saying a prayer for you!

      Cheryl, I haven't been on for a while and I feel awful about your problem with your hot water heater. I am saying my prayers for you too. You have had more on your plate than you need. Remember, you are in my thoughts and prayers ALWAYS and I am sending you a big hug! When you feel you can't take anymore, it's time for a timeout and time for Cheryl. If you are that stressed you will stress yourself right into a flare. Okay, enough nurse lecture. Take Care and remember I am always here to listen, lecture, whatever! LOL! Judy
