    • About Me

      I just had a hysterectomy 5/21/09 due to lifelong endo it seems. Heart problems developed all of a sudden due to the lupron my cardiologist is guessing, but thankfully not "dangerous" . Been feeling alone for a long time cuz I don't want to burden my family & friends with my problems. So here I am!

    • Interests

      I'm an animal lover. I love cats, horses, dogs.. you name it. When I turn 50, I'd like to get another cat, maybe a rescue dog (I adore golden retrievers!), and a beautiful spirited horse to complete my animal family. I've been married once before, and although he was definitely Mr.Right at the time, I don't miss being married.
