So glad you're here. Just vent anytime you feel like it. It really does help and can help someone else, too. It looks like a case of good news - it was not the big C, but bad news about Rheumatoid Arthritis. It's really good news too, that your Doctor was so on top of things and got you in for an appointment with a specialist so soon. Maybe you can celebrate your birthday after your appointment Monday and also celebrate that it was NOT the big C. smile
