Thank you for accepting me and I enjoyed your email explaining all that is going

on with you. It makes me look much better. I appreciate that you have been

married for 36 years and I will beat you just a little. I am 74 and we have

been married for 56 years.

I had back surgery ten years ago with fusion and plates and screws and pain ever

since. Then approximately 8 years ago neuropathy started in my feet and they are

getting worse. I still walk but it is painful. My husband helps me as much as

he can. He is in good health for the most part. About the only thing he does

not want or like to do is buy groceries but we have three granddaughters close

by that are 15, 14, and 12 that go with me or take the list and buy them then

they carry them in and put them away which is a big help.

I am anxious to get to know you and share and learn. I usually write at night

as we have webtv so I wait until my husband goes to bed as the keyboard is in my

lap and it comes up on the television. Probably many of you all ready know

that.

I did belong to your group but I wanted a different ID and my understanding was

that if I deleted my account that I had 90 days to do different. Well, to my

surprise it was gone the minute I hit the button and I did not have any time to

take down address information and just found your group last night by searching

a lot. I had the ID of joe41434 and will not be using that anymore if you want

to take it off of your list.

Bye for now, Lois

peripheral neuropathy which is

damage.... I was diagnosed with Polymylagia Rheumatica, Reflex Sympathetic

Dystrophy and FMS/CFS ... I was cured from FMS March 20th 2002 when I had a

massive heart attack ..after jump starting me 7 times they put a pump on my

heart and told my husband if I made it through the night they would do a

quadruple bypass .. Well, we know the outcome Ü .. I was on life support a few

weeks and I now have ventilator induced COPD but I don't have the pain of FMS ..

quickly there ..Looking Forward to getting to know everyone better....If you
