The Good, The Bad, The Best

The good news is, my rheumatoid factor tests were both negative. The bad news is, that doesn't necessarily mean I don't have rheumatoid arthritis.

The bad news is, I definitely do have inflammatory arthritis in several (many) joints. The good news is, it might not be RA.

The good news is that I may just spontaneously get well and stay well. The bad news is that the inflammation and pain could also spontaneously return.

The good news is that I am feeling better. The bad news is, we're not sure why, or for how long.

The bad news is that I may have had an allergic reaction to Ibuprofen. The good news is, I might not need it anymore anyway.

The best news is that Bug is getting bigger and smarter and discovering new things every day. His smile, his wide-eyed wonder, and most especially his sweet little giggles make me forget everything else and spill over with joy.
