    • Close Chronic Pain

      I had a car accident in 1991 and crushed my lower spine, crushed the 2 major bones in my left forearm,and lost a kidney.The Drs put 2 rods in my arm and rebuilt my lower spine with rods and screws.I had to learn how to walk again and was in the hosp for 7 months.I suffer everyday with backpain and sciatic nerve pain in both legs.I have no health insuarance and don't get to see a pain mangement Dr.like I'm supposed to.When I was able to see the P.M.Dr I was on meds that made my pain managable.

    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      This is an emotional hard week for me. June 8,1995, my mama/best friend died of bone cancer. June 12,2003 we lost my sister's young daughter in a tragic accident. My grief is always here.I'm being so selfish! My loved ones that have died are in such a better place than this hellish world that we live in today. I have alot of family, a few aquaintances, I guess I have nobody to talk with about my crazy feelings.My closefamily just blows me off and don't take my deep feelings seriously.
