Hi,,, I really appreciate the invite too the support n really appreciate the support of Friends,,, and you are wonderful friends.  I have been going thru alot. Please know that I am not a complainer or a whiner. I was in a semi accident that nearly killed me  10 yrs ago. And really really destroyed my life as I knew life. Leaving me disabled and alot of issues that will be rest of me life.   I have lost me abilities to do things,, as for what we take advantage of in our daily lives.  I will not ever be able to do again. After all the injuries to my legs n being left paralyzed, n with the surgerys from the accident. RSD was diagnosed about 8 to 10 months later in rite foot n ankle n leg. Now at same time they found that osteo-rhumatoid n destroyed bones in rite foot also.  Now with more symptoms going on MS is finally diagnosed after the drs in Ne n Colorado were stumped in what to do n how to do things.  Then loosing husband too cancer and all them trials, we have just been drained  mentanally emotionally financially!!!!!!!   So moving out of the area was a good move for me,,, getting more drs help n going thru there being stumped on what to do for me physically also.  Just got tired of all them trips n more n more drs. n nothing being done. So getting moved out that state was a really bigg decision cause my family was involved in this.  And with the accident n the loss of memory in tis,, I could not remember all reasons that I was so far from family in first place. I do agree having family would be great help. WRONG,,, I do not need family at all. NOTHING like what my family is, anyways!!! We certainly do not need to have people around us that will pull us down n having us too bend n bow too them when we got more important issues to cope n deal with on a minute to minute basis.  The RSD n pain n med issues are sometimes certainly demanding minute by minute issues.   There are certainly times that we need too think about other things n get way from the demands of minute by minute issues too give a moving too the cobwebs n fogg issues that these creates.    I certainly have now drs who are supportive n not smart alic mouthed about my questions n issues that they try too create.  Yes, it is important that we take care to best of our ability of ourselves.  My faith,, my believes in God,, n all that he created is my strength too keep on keeping on. I beleive that he gave me a 4 legs that is there helping me,,, also great companion n friend as well as entertainment we need too be able too laugh also.  We got too keep some sorta balance in our lives that keeps us from totally being overwhelmed.  And 4 legs is a great balance in my life. No matter what people think or how they think. My provider saw yesterday n commented on her attitude n the groomers n vets reaction to her when we come in n the little smiles they had on thier faces n saying there is our baby. She not look well,,  Ms Brooks what is wrong,,,, man they jumped  n vet was there on hearing me say what n how.. She saw that n said wowow,,,, they really like u two alot. 4 legs is a real heart pull. So no matter what keep that balance is important too all of us!!!!!!!! I really apprecaite the invite here. And hoping that I can help in some way.  Hoping that we can all meet in chat. huggzzzzz dear ones!!!!!
