An insurance agent called our medical office. One of our doctors had filled out a medically necessary leave of absence form for a patient, but, the agent said, the patient had altered it . The giveaway ? The return to work date had been changed to February 30.n Confusion
My sister-in-law was teaching Sunday school class. The topic for the day: Easter Sunday and the resurrection of Christ.
“What did Jesus do on this day?” she asked. There was no response, so she gave her students a hint:“ It starts with the letter R.”
One boy blurted, “Recycle!”
I guess this is what happens after you’ve worked at the same place for a while. I was eating at a fast-food restaurant when an employee began his shift by walking into the kitchen area and call-ing out, “Honey, I’m home!”
My 90-year-old dad was giving a talk at our local library about the World
War II experiences. During the question –and– answer period , he was
asked “ How did you know the war was over?” He replied, “When they

People have long feared rheumatoid arthritis (commonly called RA) as one of the most disabling types of arthritis. The good news is that the outlook has greatly improved for many people with newly diagnosed (detected) RA. Of course, RA remains a serious disease, and one that can vary widely in symptoms (what you feel) and outcomes. Even so, treatment advances have made it possible to stop or at least slow the progression (worsening) of joint damage now have many new treatments that target the inflammation that RA causes. They also understand better when and how to use treatments to get the best effects.
Fast Facts
• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common type of autoimmune arthritis. It is caused when the immune system (the body’s defense system) is not working properly. RA causes pain and swelling in the wrist and small joints of the hand and feet.
• Treatments for RA can stop joint pain and swelling. Treatment also prevents joint damage. Early treatment will give better long term results.
• Regular low-impact exercises, such as walking, and exercises can increase muscle strength. This will improve your overall health and lower pressure on your joints.
• Studies show that people who receive early treatment for RA feel better sooner and more often, and are more likely to lead an active life. They also are less likely to have the type of joint damage that leads to joint replacement.
• It is important to get the help of a rheumatologist. A rheumatologist is a doctor who treats arthritis and autoimmune disease. There are diseases that can be mistaken for RA. It is important to get the correct diagnosis without unnecessary testing. A rheuma-

Service With A Smile
A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a midwest town he planned to
visit on his vacation. He wrote:
I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed
and very well-behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him
in my room with me at night?
An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who said,
I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never
had a dog steal towels, bed clothes or silverware or pictures off the
walls.
I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk
and disorderly. And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill.
Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will
vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too.
