Progress on my goal Mood
Friday, November 14, 2008 | A General Update story
I was forced to go out on a disability retirement a year ago.  There is no way I'm sitting home feeling sorry for myself.  I'm fighting back.  I was told that I'd never be employable again.  Just watch me.  I just got my acceptance letter from the Nevada State Rehab dept so that I can get some training.  I want to learn about horticulture and landscape design and eventually open a nursery or something along that line.  I'm smart enough to learn it.  I CAN DO IT!!!

Softball it is Mood
Saturday, June 21, 2008

Hi all,

A quick update.  I'm feeling so much better than I did awhile ago.  I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I'm going to a new Dr for HepC in Sept.  Evidently he's the best.  I went through a year of treatment but didn't clear virus.  I was told that if I had stayed on another month or two I probably would have cleared.  In Sept I'd like to try it again.  Well, it's off to softball.  My kids and my daughter's husband's family all play on the same team.  I can't play any more, so I go watch all the kids.  I love it.  Take care and keep in touch!!

Oh, my!!! Mood
Wednesday, June 11, 2008 | A General Update story
Hello all!  DrOrrange reminded me today how long it's been since I've been on this site.  I'm sorry to have not written my friends in so long.  As I explained to her, I've been battling social security and disability.  It stinks in general.  After a year of therapy, I didn't clear virus.  I'm seeing a heptamologist the end of this month and hope he has something new to offer.  My back and neck are really shot.  Out of all the bones in the spine, I have one that isn't affected by either stenosis, bulging, degenerative problems or something.  Very frustrating to be kept from doing things that I love.  I've already had a back surgery and don't want to repeat that.  I hope all of you are well, and please drop a line to say hi.  Thanks,  Carol
