    • About Me

      I am 49yrs old, married 26 yrs to my best friend and loving care giver.We have 4, beautiful children Molly 25, Seth24, Wyatt, 14 and Anna13.Ihave had RA for 22yrs. I worked as a ob nurse and a geriatric nurse, until my condition kept me from being the nurse that i wanted to be. I miss working very much, but I try to make my self availible to volunteer at the retirement facility in our town when ever I can. In the spring I plan to head up a support group in our county.
