A Wonderful Weekend!
What a fantastic weekend! Too bad it had to come to a close. Thursday I spent the day with my beautiful wife and daughter. Went to brunch at our favorite restaraunt in The Highlands-Louisville, Lynn's Paradise Cafe. Check them out on the web. Then off to the park afterward. Friday, went to see my rheumy. Labs look great, thus far, being on Remicade. Prednisone has been decreased. YES!!
Then, my wife and I went for brunch, again, at the Twig and Leaf. A vintage little diner in Highlands of Louisville since the early 1950's. Excellent food! Saturday, the Louisville, Ky area kicked off Derby festivities with Thunder Over Louisville. Twas, a cold and rainy day, however, some folks braved the elements. We stayed indoors. Have a great week. I'll be writing again soon.

Busy, busy, to say the least...
Trying to wind down a bit at work from a busy weekend. I know. How do you wind down at work. So far, things have been fairly relaxed at work. The past weekend was spent celebrating birthdays for Brad and Julia. Both were born in March, only 11 years and 1 week apart. Ha-ha! Fun was had by everyone.
I'm surfing through the RA websites while trying to catch up on the latest RA news.
My Remicade treatments are going great so far. I am working out more frequently now and am walking briskier now...even breaking out into a jog. I'm waking without excrutiating joint pain too. Not sure how long this will last, but for now I will enjoy it.

Rain-soaked, but pain-free...
Greetings! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We have been hit by storms in the Ohio Valley for several days. I had my second Remicade infusion on Friday. I am feeling better. I know this is not the cure, however, I feel I'm starting to get on with my life. Being without the RA morning pain and stiffness sent starting Remicade has been wonderful.
I have begun working out more frequently and brisk-walking. This has helped me behind the drumkit as well. I am able to play longer during sessions. I wish all of you a great week.

Ahhh! Welcome Spring!
Today I have opened the windows and am enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of coming spring. The mild
Ohio Valley temperature with the pleasant spring breeze is welcoming. I will get out and enjoy a walk or perhaps a jog. A great day to get out and move. Blessings!

Ola! TimmyD is back!
Greetings to all! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We in the Derby City are being drenched with storms and flash flooding. Ahhh, spring in the Ohio Valley.
Last night I played my first gig in 3 years. I had a blast. Some friends were in a pinch and asked if I could oblige. I gladly answered their call. This was an acoustic event. On the musical menu for the evening was a bit of classic rock, some Americana and a sampling of folk. Originals by this band, as well as, covers were
being served.
To the guys of Tarnation, I say thank you, thank you, thank you. The staff of the venue were wonderful and went out of their way for us. The audience was absolutely fabulous. Quite a number were in attendance. We
had so much fun. After the show, we all agreed it felt like a Black Crowes-type jam session.
I saw a few "old friends" and all of them saw how I must be feeling better. Seeing their smiling faces made me feel better.
I must add here, music has also helped me heal, no doubt.
I am actually working with the guitarist of this band, writing original material. Our music is much heavier and melodic.
By the way, quite surprisingly, I wasn't hurting when I woke up this morning! Yea!! Have a great week
and keep in touch. I will be writing more. Blessings!

Feelin' groovy!
I can honestly say, for the past two mornings I have awakened without pain or stiffness. I know this is not
a cure, however, I am approaching the next several months with much optimism. Although, twas a light workout, I accomplished a cardio/resistance workout yesterday. The first one ofits kind since August, 2008.
I wish the best for all of you.
