      I am so glad to hear you are out of the hospital. Are you doing ok? I have not been active here for a couple of months because of my own health issues. But, have promised to try to reconnect with everyone. God Bless! JoAnn

      Hi Wheezymom. How are you doing? I hope you are well. Did you get a flu shot before flu season hit? I was the first at my doctor office to get one. Anyway, take care! Your friend JoAnn

    • I’m With You

      From jr4693 October 7, 2007

      I surely know what u mean when u say u used to be active. My son and I it seems we fight constantly and I know it is because he doesn't understand completely why I can sit in that darn chair all day and not go out to work ...thought he watches me get to the car ..somedays are bad some aren't. But I so know how you feel. I wonder sometimes what is the point if my future is going to leave me dependent on others...but it is my call so i move my thoughts and go on. Big hug and glad you got to enjoy the grand kids!
