About Me
Y'all need to know I can spell but not type very well and it is heard for me to read off of a computer screen. I am not blind it is just a difficult thing for me. Also since I strive for perfection and think I meet that goal most of the time I mostly incapable of seeing my own errors.

You AREN'T too old. I was 63 when I had my massive heart attack, stents, bypass surgery and had to quit smoking. Currently, I'm packing up to move to Tennessee from Florida because my husband of the last 8 years and I are getting divorced after 6 1/2 years of bad marriage -mostly the result of 2 of his 6 kids not happy with having daddy remarry. BTW his kids are aged 40 - 55. Keep on plugging away at not smoking and trying to heal your body. I have to believe it is worth it - however, many times over the past two years I have felt exactly the way you so elequently expressed yourself in your last post.
