I'm so sorry to hear about your arthritis, Zem.  At the risk of being  
called stupid or
ridiculous, I feel I should urge you to wear a copper bracelet.  
 
Hear me out.  In the summer of 1952 when we were on our honeymoon, we  had 
an
automobile accident.  This was before the days of seatbelts. I had  been 
sitting
crosslegged yoga-fashion and my knees were slammed into the dashboard.  They
were badly bruised and swollen but when we got X-rays they were not  
broken.  The
doctor who treated me said, you're lucky in a way, but be sure you are  
going to have
a bad case of arthritis from this.  Well, he was right.  In a few  years I 
was really
hobbling.  Then someone encouraged me to wear a copper bracelet.   Now, 
more than
50 years later I have no arthritic pains.  I do have sciatica, but  that 
comes from a spinal
injury within the last  20 years.  
 
Some doctors laugh at me, but at least two have looked at my hands and  
observed 
that they show no arthritic deformation.  Another doctor has said,  just do 
whatever you
need to do. So I am convinced that if I can get around as well as I do at  
84 there must
be something to it.  So, at least give it a try.  It can't hurt,  and it is 
a lot less expensive
than other treatments.  Wear the bracelet all the time - not just  
occasionally.  I have
passed this on to several others, and they all report good success.  
 
And enjoy all the spring blossoms.  My peonies are beginning to open,  and 
promise
to be especially productive this year.

I agree  with you about how well everything is blooming this year. My
arthritis is  worse than it has been in years because of this cool
weather. This morning  it was in the 50s when I left for work. My whining
aside, I am grateful we  have escaped all the storms, we are good with
rainfall, my yard looks  better than it has in years, and we are
experiencing a gorgeous weekend. I  hope you all have a safe Memorial
Day.
