    • About Me

      i didnt know there were so many people with bipolar disorder until i joined this site. believe me i know what a b____ this is. we all must be a special breed of people for God to create us this way. if there js any light at thr end of the tunnel is the fact that we come out of it a little stronger and knowing ourselves a little better

      i use to like reading now i get bored i use to like walking but my back hurts when i do.i like free cell and slingo and sitting on the bask porch. i also like spending time with my family. i like the simple things in life. i like sunsets and gazing at the stars. i ponder of how awesome this universe is and how very vast it is compared to our planet on which we live. i am a hopeless romatic and dreamer.

      Hi Sandra. It was so good hearing from you. I've missed you too. I'm sorry you had all that stress, but I'm glad things are better now. Thank God you worked things out with the mortgage company! I am well. Excited about my daughter's wedding which is this Sunday! I hope to talk to you online soon. Love to you and your family. xx

      You just keep that chin up. My biggest hurdle is moving my wrist palm up. I also have carpal tunnel which has gotten worse since the break. It has been 3 months now. Dr said it will take a full year for all the bones to fill in. He set them which was a few seconds of hell, but the break was bad. I was lucky he did set the bones or I would have certainly needed surgery, that probably wouldn't have gone so well. I'm sorry you'll need knee replacement. Do all you can for yourself so the operation can go well, ok?
