    • About Me

      Married with children and a beautiful grandson... I live in WA State with my husband and have 4 awesome kids! My husband makes faceting machines, also know as gem cutting machines, and ships them all over the world. I am a Scrapbook Designer for a Scrapbook Store in Portland Oregon. I have been designing for them for over 3 and 1/2 years, and absolutely love it! We are the proud grandparents of our first grandbabe, Nolan Ryan, born Dec 18th 2008. He is a total Nana's boy!! On August 23rd 2008 our nephew and his fiance had a beautiful baby girl Madyson. Sept 24th was Madysons Angel date and got her wings. Madyson was one month and 1 day old. She died of SIDS. My heart breaks for our nephew and his fiance. I was looking forward to our soon to be grand son and Madyson being playmates. I cry every time I look at her photos, and my heart goes out to each and every family who has lost a precious child. **HUGS**

    • Close Arthritis

      This nightmare started in 94 and I've gotten worse every day. Especially after a fusion at L5-S1 in June 2005.

      Treatments

      also pain meds. They all seem to be helping, except for when things really flare up then nothing helps the pain! I usually end up crying myself to sleep at night.

      Had psoriasis for about 13 years.

      Physical Therapy Not Working
      Just made me worse! Pain meds do help. Ice helps. Can't use heat as it makes me worse as well.
    • Open Panic Attacks

      First panic attack 10.7.07 while driving. Scared the he** outta me! I didn't know what was going on. I ended up calling 911. I tried to stay calm as possible because 3 of our kids were with me. I knew if I panicked, they would too. But I held it together, and they held it together for me. Awesome kids I have! So proud of them!!
