About Me
A Retired Nurse. Housed by a cat (Cricket) and a Parrot (KoKo)! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "To know joy is to have known sorrow."
Interests
FOR NOW, I am unable to accept new friends, so as to better cherish and honor the wonderful ones I have aquired over the past year and a half! Because, you see, I have the creame dela creame.(cream of the crop, for we simple folk)

Prayer
dear carol ,, for"""to'''Bless you How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts. Lord, your house is beautiful to me. Its beauty is not in its bricks and glass and color and light; nor in its solemn ritual, stirring words, and joyous singing; nor in its hearty fellowship. All these are good, but your house is beautiful because you dwell there. Your love is so great that you come down from heaven and dwell with us. You are not a distant god. You are near. My soul longs for the courts of the Lord. Lord, I come to your house seeking you. I live in an unredeemed world. It gives little comfort. It offers no lasting hope. It is never at peace. My soul is not satisfied with this earthly life. It longs to be made whole, to be reconciled, to be fulfilled. I am on a journey. I stop at your house along the way for rest and encouragement. Then I press on, looking forward to the day when I will enter the courts of heaven. My heart sings for joy to the living God. Lord, at rare moments I am touched by your love and filled with pure joy. I can barely hold your love inside at such moments. I want to shout for joy and break into song. These are moments of grace, given so that I will not lose heart. They are a foretaste of the joy of heaven. One day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. Lord, nothing in this world can compare with your love. But like all your children, I seek comfort in earthly things. I am rooted in the world. A part of me longs to be freed of every other desire and give myself entirely to you. But I am an earthly man, weighed down by the flesh. I look forward to the day when the forces within me will be put to rest by your loving hand, and I will be at peace with you. for"""to'''Bless you Mary!!

Hug
I am ok as ok can be. Had to do some bigtime soul searching and come to some real tough decisions. But I did. Headed back outside on this gorgeous Indian summer day to lounge in my zero gravity chair.. sipping coffee and puffing a cig or two. Call me anytime.. best chance of getting hold of me is on my cell. I hope you are doing well and enjoying the weekend. Love, Debbie

Close Back Pain
Fractured 3 thoracic vertebrae January '07 as a result of osteoporosis, and am still having a lot of pain. Have lost nearly 3" in height and many days can only walk bent forward from the waist, other days I just have the signature 'hump' of Osteo!
Treatments
- Flexeril Somewhat Helpful
- Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
- for breakthru
- Morphine Somewhat Helpful
- BUT and a HUGE but, it establishes me as a drug seeker, and that is a life sentence, some trade off eh?
- Nerve Blocks Somewhat Helpful
- Short lived results,and only partial relief at that, maybe 2 wks after ea set!
Close Macular Degeneration
I'm finding that I look at the 'puter screen etc with my head turned away to see details more sharply!!! Needless to say I'm scared! I saw my optometrist and so far so good!
Treatments
- Lutein Working / Worked
- I have started on the combination of specific vitamins & minerals used to treat AMD, with their antioxidents properties! attempts at Prevention never hurt.
Open Euthanasia
Interested in the many facets of this topic!
Open Fibromyalgia
.....same old.....same old... symptoms forever.....not named until excaborated by a car accident and even then only with the usual stigma!!!
Treatments
- Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
- was wonderful when I had access to the hottub. alas no longer. Substitute hot packs before stretching & exercises now.
- Effexor Working / Worked
- this & effexor each had limited results, for a short time only. then none.
- Flexeril Working / Worked
- Morphine Working / Worked
Open Loneliness
Its an old story, Kids grown, gone and given up on mom! Friends have all moved on, either to their reward or with a life that moves too fast for me to keep up with!
