ABOUT ME:

Hello, my name is Barbara I am a retired truck driver, knowing my bestfriend for 25 years, his wife for 18 1/2 yrs., We have two boys, 18 & 10, daughter 26 (my step-daughter). Truck driver from 1985-2003.Retired from driving due to my health, I still work in trucking but behind a desk. I can only work part time now. I found it hard to take care of my family and work full time. The pain was/is too much when i push myself. I had applied for disability, was denied. I am doing it, but it is very hard to get everything done that is needed. I have 3 herniated discs, carpal tunnel in both wrists and arthriis/brusitis through-out my body. Ortho suregon has replaced my right hip, and to do left hip in the near future, when I am ready. I feel my life has no quality left, but I keep going! I do see other and realize that it is okay, others are worse than me.
