I lost my job some 8 yrs ago, got sick and had to have surgery on my knees. This has left me walking but not a well as I use to. My friends are all gone because of my illness and I don't have anyone really to talk to. I am divorce and I have one child but he is a teenager and doesn't have time for me. I stay by myself most of the time because I don't have anywhere to go or can't think of anything to do. If I do think of things to do I have to do it alone and that sucks most of the time. I want to have some friends or a companion where I can share what I am thinking or have some fun and some laughs. My illness has caused me to forget a lot of things but with being around people maybe I can start to think and remember more clearly. They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste and I feel as though mine is wasting away fast.
