    • About Me

      I was diagnosed with fibro 10 yrs ago.Luckily, I was very active in exercising and running proir to getting fibro and I have been able to stay active. I do not exercise as much as i used to, but i am trying to increase that also. I woked as a medical office nurse, clinical manager, phlebotomist, and I am also an EMT. I had to quit work three yrs ago due to the increased fatigue and pain. I have a daughter and a son in their 20's and a three yr old grandson. all of them still live at home. My grandson helps me keep a positive attitude and he keeps me laughing. He also helps in keeping me active.

    • Close Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)

      I have custody of my 4 1/2 yr old grandson. Daughter ran off with a guy she met online and moved 1400 miles away. She wants him now so her guy can get a raise in his military pay!! child had behavior problems and we are seeing a therapist, but they are not much help. I am looking for support and/or suggestions. IT is hard to raise another child but at the same time it is a blessing.
