    • About Me

      I am a 44 yo retired professional that is trying to get a business off the ground. I was previously married with two kids to a wonderful man who passed away from cancer. I am currently engaged to man that I have been dating for 5 years. I know he is a cheater although I have not been able to finger any specific woman. I know that marrying him would be a mistake, but lack the backbone to leave. I need enormous help.

      From AuntGin March 26

      Dear backbone, I wish you the best. There are sunny days coming for you just like the spring now brings warmth and hopes of brighter days. I am trying to help my neice with MCTD to find a good Dr and people on this forum have been wonderful. I do not have MCTD/Lupus myself but I have been thru an awful auto accident and I am disabled. I had to search for an expert Neurosurgeon to help me because I had a broken neck and brain herniation from the accident/airbag hit me. I had extensive surgery in NY 1 1/2 yrs ago and I am still in physical therapy. But I am doing well as I had to learn to walk. You see I was partially paralyzed and having seizures before the surgery because the neck fracture was complicated and surgeons in my state were afraid to fix it. So I wore a hard collar for months until finding the experts in NY and they fused my head to my spine. So I cannot turn my head at all, just look straight ahead, but the feelings in my arms and legs came back almost totally. I have a little bit of numbness and a few neurological problems, but I no longer have seizures and I can walk fine. I am very grateful for being alive. So, I take one day at a time, be patient with yourself, be good to yourself and I wish you better days and happiness. Take care, AuntGin

      From otillyp March 25

      HI thanks for da hug. I went to al-anon once but I honestly have to say that it depressed me. I looked around and all I saw were older women who looked just worn down and beat down by life. I never went back. It scared me because I didn't want to look like those women. I appreciate you thinking to send me this little smiley face with hands :)
