    • About Me

      I am a wife and mother of 3. A 17 year old boy, an 11 year old girl and a 5 year old girl. I have been married for 17 years. I worked as a Home Health Aide for 11 years until in May of 2006 I was struck by a pick-up truck while standing in my driveway. I had ACL, PCL and MCL reconstruction surgery on my right August 14th 2006. I had a clavicle resection on November 14th 2007.I am now in chronic daily pain. I am hoping to find other people who have the same interests or problems that I do. My husband and children are wonderful, but don't really understand what has happened to me.
