"Woke up at 2 because nature was calling. I reali:zed and it was raining not because I heard it, because of my knee had ballooned up and I was in pain. I was trying to figure out if it was worth it to go to the bathroom or if I could just hold it because I knew it was not going to be a simple task. It took a while because I'm struggling to stand you too my swollen knees. I finally made it back to my bed that started the process of trying to function like a human being before I have to get up and go to work because I really don't want to call in due to this flare. So I have consumed three steroids, in the hopes that I'll be able to stand and walk in the morning. it's supposed to rain all weekend so this is going to be a fun week for me...NOT!!! I teach Pre-K so I just pray my little children who were trapped inside and can't go outside to play do not decide to use Miss Kat as a jungle gym. One little girl grabbed to my inflamed wrist and decided to use it as a swing yesterday. It was all I could do not to scream in pain. Poor thing didn't know that she was beating me up really bad trying to play. That's Is The Life of a Pre-K teacher with RA"
