About Me
Everyday think of something that is good and you are grateful for in your life. I am married with two children and my first grandchild due in a few months, Gives me a goal to keep in mind I want to be around for grandchildren. Seems everytime I try to get back to exercising by walking and swimming something comes up. This past year I have gone through alot of test. Conclusion, Acid Reflux, Bursitis, Arthritis, Diverticulosis, IBS, Fibro and I am blind in one eye. This year 2008 I thought I am getting things in line, I am having dental problems I let a dentist I thought I could trust over the years do root canals, They have all absessed now, Thank the Lord I have found a good dentist who refers me to specialist instead of thinking they can DO IT ALL. But I have alot of infections and abcesses I am dealing with now, So tomorrow I find out what the goal is or best course of action, Then maybe I can get back to trying to become better, Last night my dad who lives in a different state fell and broke his neck, in alot of pain, He was doing better and in rehab from his broken hip, I just wish I could go there now but he is sedated and my sister is there. Just neverending, I pray for him and for those who family that is suffering or for us that suffer also, As the old saying goes WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS Thanks for letting me be a member, WE all need a friend and hugs. JOKE OF THE DAY: What do you call the medical student that graduated last in his class.............. DOCTOR. Thats why you need to research things out yourself and if you dont like what that dr says go somewhere else, They are human and can be wrong

Hug
Sending you a big hug, and yes people on DS are wonderful to talk to and I have learned so much from so many people. You are not alone we all have issues and I have learned to talk to people and listen when they need to vent. It helps me get over the loss of my husband, we were together for 34 years and he was the best person I had ever know he was my life, always happy and so full of life. I am alone now and I have no intentions of ever having anyone else in my life he was the best no one can replace him. So if you need to talk just send your many friends a letter and get it off your chest. We are here to help whoever needs help or even just a person to listen to them. God Bless you and your grand baby. Take care Finishline
