    About Me

    I love life...I just have to take my life back. I am motivated by my husband of 33 years, my four daughters, and ALL my grandchildren and great-grands. Brothers-and-sisters-in-law are added dividends. My wealth has NOTHING to do with $$$. I know all these things, and I have all these people and more with me. Therefore, I will improve and conquer myself. (I'm now wondering if I have the fortitude to meet my goal. I'm not usually a quitter, but right now I don't know.)

    Interests

    PEOPLE, word games: Scrabble (all forms) & Twist Text are my favorites; card games: spades (on-line and in person) and solitaire; reading, crocheting, listening to ALL types of music and writing poetry.

    • Close Amputees

      My right leg was amputated above the knee on February 28, 2007 because circulation was insufficient due to a defective femoral artery.

      Treatments

      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      PT/Rehab gave me a focus that the amputation had taken away. As my strength increased through the therapy and rehab, my feeling of self-worth began to return.
      Prosthetic Device Somewhat Helpful
      Adjustment to and acceptance of the prosthetic leg is very hard for me. It's going to take a lot of work, physically and emotionally.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      From 03/01-09/21/2007 dosage has increased from 50 mg to 75 mg to 100 mg and now to 150 mg once a day. Slowly, my coping mechanisms are kicking in...not as despondent as I once was (BUT, I still have my days).
