Rain, wonderful rain.

I saw the rheumatologist today. changed my medication. I’m to try this one to see if ithis one works and doesn’t cause any problems. He’s very conservative and always does lab work soon after starting me on a new med, to be sure it’s not doing anything bad. Also, he’s going to check my Vitamin D level and some other values. He says there have been some reports of a Vit D deficiency causing “long bone pain”. We shall see. In any case, I’m also to go back in 3 months rather than six.

We had a whopper of a storm last night. We got an inch of rain at our house, but there was more in other areas around here, with a couple of tornadoes. This is the most rain we’ve had in a couple of months. At least nobody was hurt with the small tornadoes - just some property damage.

A movie review: We watched Invictus tonight. It’s a terrific, feel-good movie, with Morgan Freeman playing Nelson Mandela at the beginning of his presidency, when he tried to unify South Africa by supporting the national rugby team (captained by Matt Damon) in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Excellent acting, directed by Clint Eastwood, and quite well done. Glad we finally got to see this one.
