Lucia is waiting with a light at the end of the tunnel

To-day is the Lucia Day in Sweden. She comes with lights in her hair and in her hand. She enlightens us in the darkest period of the year with light and songs. This morning, Ragnar came and woke my wife up with the Lucia song and while drinking morning coffee we watched the TV programme with traditional and new Lucia songs. We both thought back at celebration of Lucia when we went to school and when the children celebrated Lucia. If you are interested to find out more you can google Lucia in Sweden and also find songs on Youtube.
On December 13 in 2008, I got off pred after 3 ½ years of pmr and GCA. I had found out a new way of tapering slower than before and finally got off pred. I chose to say that I did it on December 13 - the Lucia Day in Sweden, because it is easy to remember and it also is a positive day. For us who have or have had pmr and/or GCA it is nice to know that Lucia is there with a light at the end of the tunnel.
On August 16 – my 79th birthday – I made a presentation in Chertsey, Surrey for the NE Support group about my story about the Ragnar method to taper pred. It was very nice to meet so many that I had just read about on the forum. Some are also on this forum.
At last, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Too bad that the Canadian forum disappeared and when they tried a new one there were only a few posts, so I guess it is really not active
Love also from me
