I ifeft the (hospital whem the fever abated and want home, but I was not fit, to do anything, and the doctors said' I would waver 1 do (another day's 'work. The attacks increased and werei in every part of my body. For months I was laid tip. My kneecaps, ankles, insteps, wrists and tliaunbs were always in pain and' even my hips,, as- if an augur 1 were being drilled into me. Not a pair* of me escaped. I used to get up about 10 a.m. and just sit about. I could only (hobble a "few yards- at a, time -with my back bent.* Most mights- I would 'Me awake for hours hardly daring to move an inch. The softest bed felt liko iron), and las scon as I got w air mi the pain increased. My joints war aM red and /shiny and' glossy, (especially my knees. My knuckles (bad (little Misters ion them. I could hairdlly close my hands they were .so stiff, and on.ee for three, .weeks I had to lie waited" on jiusit Mike ,a« infant. I could not raase a oup.
