I guess the only true interest I have is doing research and trying to figure out how to get back to that person I used to be.....I can barely remember her, I feel her slipping away more and more each day and there is nothing I can do to stop her......

      Thank you. It's been a rough couple of days. I think an epsom soak will be nice. I doubt it will help but I love water!
