ABOUT ME:

I am married and we have 3 teenage sons, who are 14, 16, and 18.  My husband and I are both disabled, which creates its own set of problems.  I have fibro, spondylolythesis, DDD, several bulging disks, sciatia, and the list goes on and on!  I have had one back surgery involving a fusion at L5-S1, with instrumentation, and decompression of the spinal cord.  I got 6 months of relief, and I'm now worse than I was before.  The doctor says that I need more surger, but for the time being, I'm passing on it.  I also have to have a dual knee replacement soon.  My husband has a genetic condition called spino-cerebellar ataxia, which is a progressive illness dealing with the deterioration of the cerebellum.  He is confined to a wheel chair.  I'm interested in getting to know people dealing with similar issues, and trying to find the small moments that I can take humor in.
