Okay, now you can feel free to add anything personal( family, work etc) I'm married 37 years, have 3 grown boys, 2 are married, have 1 grandson. Enjoy beading, crocheting and sewing when I can make the time. Diabetes has already caused me to have surgery on my eyes last November for retinopathy (successfully) and I am a chronic anemic. I will be on procrit shots for the rest of my life which tell my bone marrow to produce red blood cells. The hormone which is supposed to do that comes from the kidneys and diabetes destroyed my hormone. Those shots, which I get every 3 weeks, are $900 each. If my blood count goes down, I have to go to every 2 weeks. My weight is my biggest enemy along with lack of exercise.
I am currently working on my best friend's wedding. Last year my youngest son got married and this year it will be Sue. She is a nervous wreck but I keep telling her it will all come together. So I have plenty to keep me busy this year along with trying to get my house organized.
I'm looking forward to sharing ideas, recipes, problems and solutions with everyone here.
