    • About Me

      Business writer, self-employed, uninsured w/ few remaining family members - none in this state. Independent, creative, resilient. Contracted MRSA in operating room during removal of malignant melanoma. Cancer clear but MRSA is very difficult to deal with. Looking for support, advice on recuperation. After four months most days it's hard just to walk around the yard.
