    Wow!  What a day I had.  It was so wonderful.  Fred and I got up early and he put my scooter lift on the back of the truck.  For the first time ever I got to use my scooter while shopping.  I can’t tell you how free and independent I felt.  It has been four years now since I became disabled.  I was so happy I cried.  I know this sounds silly.  I ...

    I didn't realize how long it has been that I haven't been on this site!  How time flies.  I still religiously wear my Daily Strength tee shirt, the Crohn's hasn't gone away, but I'm doing better than I have in Years.  The two surgeries have worked and now I'm strong enough to find a lawyer and sue the bastard that did this to me.
    There is so much research on ...

    Thank goodness I got the mess with the phone company straightened out and I have phone and internet now.  I've got the flu and just got the phone on a few hours ago, so I haven't had a chance to catch up with all of my wonderful friends.  I hope that you all have been well and enjoying life to the fullest.  Things were bad for me for a short period, but I was surprised at a...
