Quarterly checkup

Had an appointment with my rheumatologist, Dr. Pope, today.  Nothing new really aside from some very slight softening of the skin on my forearms and backs of my hands.

The meeting was fruitful in other ways however in that Dr. Pope has agreed to speak at the AGM of the Scleroderma Society of Ontario in September.  She also agreed to do a spot on the local cable channel to promote scleroderma awareness and, finally, to distribute a letter composed by one of our members to new patients promoting the local branch of the SSO.

This is, indeed, one very special lady.  Not only is Dr. Pope in demand by the international scleroderma community but she always finds time to do what she can locally and all this while raising six(?) children and maintaining a very busy practice at St. Joseph's Hospital here in London.  We are very lucky to have her.
