    • About Me

      [img src=http://reignofblood.net/ads/sky.gif] I'm 39 been happily married for 6 years August the 15th. I have One child that will be 19 September 11th. He is a special needs child ADHD, Tourettes Syndrome, OCD, ODD. I usually get porky pig syndrome pronouncing the disorders he has. My husband has Chari 1 malformation and has had 2 brain surgeries to release tumors on his brain stem. So we are a perfect couple we both are falling apart. We have learned how to cope with everyones own special needs. But I found that sometimes I need extra help. Since the Diseases I have are called invisible I can not count on my side of the family. They don't believe I have any Illness, although I have had a Lung Surgery to remove a mass from my right lower lobe. I have not worked in two years for I get sick very easily. I have applied for disability And even went before ALJ back in March. They say the decission was mailed out the 7 th of July yet I have not received it to date. I have called them 6 days ago and they stated they remail the results but have not received any papers yet. I look forward to talking to new people and trying to help others with the emotional support we all need in our lives.

      My most favorite things to do is read, cook, write anything, and being around children. When I read I like horror and mystery novels. So every Christmas my husband buys me at Christmas.

I was on passport before that time. My son is disabled and still no help. It really burns my buns. I told my husband that if something happens to me to sue the state and everyone else he can think of. I may have Cancer also but because I have no insurance I will never know. The said part is my family doctor sent me to JGB. No response.
