Thanks to all of your prayers and support I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!! It was a rainy day and I still did it. I only had about 8 out of 10 hours of required training but I still did it. Now I have to start checking into used vehicles so I have transportation to use to go to a job if I get one out of the house. I celebrated but wasn't at all nutty like when I was 16. I wish my Dad was here but...

I am a 41 year old survivor of domestic and physical abuse including stalking and terrorist treats. For 1 ½ years of my life I played the victim and the game until I began to take control of the situation, make the police reports and follow through with just keeping my side of the street clean and stopped freaking out about what the other was out to do.

I have gotten to the point in my personal life that I got my electric wheelchair and things were working out when I had the bladder surgery. Then after thinking I was starting to heal I got an outbreak of Herpes around my mouth. I got rid of that with the salve that I got from the doc and then I seemed to be going down hill. After making a sandwich and having trouble swallowing ...1 Recommendation2 Comments

When the Permobil was ordered I didn't qualify for a se...1 Recommendation3 Comments

OK, I finally did it. I sent my husband an email telling him to be out by Wednesday night. Yes, I said an email. I figured it was the best way to keep it between us and to keep the kids out of it. Anyhow, he took it extremely well. So well it scares me. He asked if he could stay til Friday on the condition he stays out of sight and doesn't talk to anyone here. I said yes. We will ...1 Recommendation1 Comment

After two weeks and two days I finally have a line onto the world again. I had forgotten just how isolated one feels without a telephone! I have had to accept a new number, which I'll send in msgs. Every phone number I had was in my cell phone (on which, I'm still under contract :( ! Boy, I have started a paper phone book again, never ever to only have an electronic rec...1 Recommendation5 Comments

I am only 18 days away from my 2 year surgery date. I can't believe it has been that long but it has. I like to think I have come a long ways since that day 2 years ago. I am doing things now that the doctors said I may never do again. I flew on a plane to see my brother, I am sewing again because my eyesight is back to normal, I am riding a bike again who would have k...1 Recommendation1 Comment
