    • About Me

      I've been HIV+ since August 12th 1996 in August 1997 was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor that put me in the Hospital 3 months and 3 series and 2yrs paralyzed. I'm a survivor of all that and feel it's my past and I deal with it and do the best i can in staying healthy. I do feel there's more that can be done to provide better Medical help. But also realize that i have to be the one that takes the steps in doing every day tasks and can say i do the best i can.

Being an advocate in supporting others in stopping the spread of HIV/Aids is rewarding knowing that just maybe we've helped maybe one from not being infected with it. Being HIV since 96 and diagnosed Aids the last 3yrs has taught me that there's aways someone or something that is out there wanting to Listen and or share either there grief or hope and advice to people that just might be the one to teach them how to live a healthier way of living. I guess that's my answer to the ? of what my Interests are: learning from a healthy honest supportive group that have NO interest in being superficial. That enjoy sharing ways in how to live happier healthier ways of living.

      Oh, it's so good to hear from you my dear...and to hear that you're happy makes me so happy. Things here are a little crazy with all the changes, so I haven't talked with Kat in a while, she doesn't have a computer, but the last time I talked with her she had moved in with her Charlie....If I don't have a chance to "talk" to you again, enjoy the Holidays! take care.
