i have o.a. but it doesn't have me
aren't too many days that i'm pain free
i have it throughout most of my body
i have o.a. but it doesn't have me
i have o.a. but it doesn't have me
i will not give in to the agony
i can be anything i want to be
i have o.a. but it doesn't have me
i have o.a. but it doesn't have me
it's not the end of the world, don't you see
i can do anything...i laugh in glee
i have o.a. but it doesn't have me
i have o.a. but it doesn't have me
having o.a. is not what makes ME--ME!
a woman WITH a disability
i have o.a. but it doesn't have me!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i have o.a. (osteoarthritis, or degenerative
arthritis); was diagnosed with it in 1986. it
affects my shoulders, neck, wrists, hands,
back, hips, knees and feet. pretty much
all over...but i am blessed...i am able to walk
and work. some aren't as fortunate. i will not
give into the pain...i will continue to live life to
the full, as long as God allows me to, anyway!
ata girl! I like your style -- you can do great things, (witness this poem) and nothing can stop you and your disability is just along for the ride.....

I have a shot of bourbon, but it doesn't have me. :) Very good, Karla. You can still enjoy life even with disability.
