    • About Me

      I am going through many changes, some good, some bad. Either way I am growing into adulthood a little at a time. I'm an 18 year old who is 43 on the outside. Life is not an easy thing to do some days, but I am doing the best I can. My cat Doobie keeps me on my toes, literaly sometimes. I do manage to take care of his needs everyday and he in turn is completly spoiled. LOL I have a good sense of humor and do cling to hope of a better day, each day.

    • Close Degenerative Disc Disease

      I have had DDD for 8 years now and have been diagnosed for 4. I hve a compassionate Dr. who is giving me pain meds., but that doesn't help when I start my morning trying to crawl out of bed. I'm so stiff in the morning and you know it's reall painful. For the first hour of my morning until the meds. kick in I can hardly move. I had a difficult time accepting my disease and just recently came out of my pity party to go to college online. I don't want people to feel sorry for me.
