About Me
I am a speech therapist with a local school dsitrict. I am separated from my husband of 18 years and will be divorced in July 2010....I need his health insurance! My 2 children are my life. One is 18 and in his first year of college and the other is 16 (God help us drivers!) and a sophmore in high school. I used to love being physical....sports, running, tennis, bike riding. I am an avid reader, prefer fiction. I am also redecorating my home (to remove the essence of my soon to be ex!) UPDATE: I had GBS on July 21, 2009. I was wrong to think that 2008 was the journey! I've only just begun!

Close Gastric Bypass Surgery
Like most overweight people, I have battled with weight gain/loss most of my life. After I married and the children were born, I really packed it on. I blame the fact that we ate well together and I was under a lot of marital stress. I am ready to find myself (I know I'm in there somewhere!) I am ready to live again!
Close Fibromyalgia
It seems I have had fm most of my life, but it had really started to affect me about 6 years ago. I was diagnosed 3 years ago. FM and cfs has affected every area of my life. Thank goodness I am working part-time, my marriage has dissolved (that is also a blessing!) I work hard everyday to be the cheerful person I used to be.
