My Adventurous Life with Arthritis
I have RA, but RA doesn't Have Me!
About Me
Hi!
My name is Kathy and I have lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 15 years old. I am now 54 and still living life to its fullest….well the best you can within limitations that this disease does put on you, no matter how tough you are (and I think I am pretty darn tough.)
I am married to a wonderful man that God hand-picked to be with me through this journey.
We have a beautiful daughter who is a school teacher who was truly a blessing as we thought we would not be able to have children thanks to years of medication and its side effects.
I love living and make memories every day. My goal is to share my journey, which I hope will inspire others to live life to the fullest. A picture is just a picture, but a picture with a story, well now that is something worth talking about.
Join me on my crazy journey of sharing my life!

Never Again…
It was a usual office day with me at my desk in front of a window that my view is a bluebird box that I have had the pleasure over the years to see the bluebirds build their nests, lay their eggs, take turns watching their eggs, and feeding their babies. Chip even turned the opening so I could see them come and go. The birds would catch my eye often throughout the day as they come and go. It brings me such happiness to look forward to this ritual several times a year. I miss them when…
Can you OD on orange Jell-o?
Today is Wednesday and I am on day one of my prep for my first colonoscopy. It is not until you cannot eat, that you realize how bad you want to eat. I began to analyze anything and everything edible. As I scooped out…

broken shells
I recently had an incredible experience while visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina. My husband had gone fishing for the day on a charter with friends, and he left me with the truck, to spend the day on the beach. I have ridden…
Who’s The Mama
So a lot of people have asked what my surgery was back in May, and I have been super busy and just getting around to this post. This is what I had done, a Left Wrist Arthrodesis with Distal Ulna Excision and Possible Distal…

Campfire without smoke, a dream come true
We have all heard the saying smoke follows beauty as the wind direction changes and everyone shuffles to move out of the way of the smoke billowing from the fire pit. If you camp, as we do, you enjoy sitting outside at night enjoying…
COVID 19 and Me
Who would have ever thought we would have ever experienced anything like this in our lifetime? For some, there seem to be no worries, and for others, they are stressed to the point of fear. I guess I fall somewhere in the middle. I…
