The best day ever

Yesterday was the best day ever! 

I like to keep my blog a little bit light and fluffy so I haven't been totally honest over the last year. Last June I had an operation on my knees as one was very swollen and the other was giving me trouble. Unfortunately by November it was swollen again . .  and then so was my wrist . . . and then I had horrible pains in my chest . . . and then my middle finger on my right hand swelled up. Well to cut a very long and painful story short I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in March and to add to my misery I had to have a hysterectomy (I won't go into the details of why) before I could start my treatment. Well, the good news is that I have started my treatment and my operation was now two months ago and I'm feeling better than I have done for over 18 months. 

For Christmas I was lucky enough to get a bike (remember this post from last year?) and not just any bike – my very own Pashley! But because of my aches and pains I haven't even been able to cycle down the road in the last five months. Yesterday I saw my surgeon and as the RA is under control he said I could go for a bike ride. And so that's what I did - after everything I've been through recently I felt like it was the best day ever!
