About Me
Time to update I have a beautiful new grandchild, she was born on Sept.06, 2007 the joy of my life. I've suffered with COPD over 15 years and it is now in the final stages, then in July I was told I also have Fibromyalgia, so it is rough on me, trying to function.other problems I have Type II diabetes, Osteo in my spine, had back surgery in 93 never known such pain since. My breathing is very hard, I have a granuloma 1.75cm on my right lung, they are watching it for cancer, so we shall see. I can't have surgery, I would not survive it. I've been trying for two days to write a journal it will not accept it, so I'm going this route just to say I care and all are in my heart and prayers.
Interests
crocheting, cooking, gardening, I watch a lot of tv as I try to rest I enjoy all my friends on DS
