I was recently diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.  So I take each days as it comes, never knowing if it will be a good day (on a scale of 1-10 a 5.), a bad day (6-10) or a horrific nightmare (15). 

I share my life with the love of my life "Dearheart", our brilliant dog ,"Hoss"(Dane-pit bull mix) who is a giant loveable baby and the mighty feline ruler of our kingdom "Taz", trust me she is appropriately named.  She is a she devil and she does rule the roost.  Weighing in at only 10 pounds she can really throw her weight around.  When it is time for her highness to be fe, she comes and carefully taps me on the leg with her dainty paw.  If I don't respond quickly enough she will walk down the hall to where her dish is and pace back to me, pause, givee her coat a few licks to put her mussed coat back in line and tap me on the leg again.

Hoss, on the other hand, is a lucky dawg.  He is scooby doo at times and brilliant others.  We went to get a puppy from the humane society and we found "Hoss".  already 14 months old, and he had been placed with the shelter 4 times.  The first three families brought him back because "they didn't realize how big he was going to get."  Hello people his mommy was a great dane!  He captured our hearts from the beginning.  He needed training, lots of love, and consistency.

I am also very fortunate that the love of my life is able to put up with my health problems.  he has to be the most understanding man I have ever met.  The three love of my life bring me joy on the darkest of days.

 So, why am I here, you may ask.  Because there are times when you just want to vent about your day to someone who has been in similar shoes and there are days that you can return that favor to another.  I need the support and i need the opportunity to climb outside my cocoon of a world and be with other people when I can't physically get out in the real world.
