    • About Me

      I had my leg amputated after a long bout with a staph infection. I feel awful but am coming back. It's difficult. Most people don't realize how alone and awful it feels. Anyway Maybe this may help my attitude. Am still going to physical therepy. Thats not easy either.I started a new business.It has been keeping me busy, but not too busy for my friends here. I didnt know how mush this site means to me. Since signing in the first day I have made friends. It is truly appreciated.
