If I may
I err to the side of order
Everything has a home
The hangers that hang in the closet aren’t measured by a ruler as I can eyeball pretty
The dirty laundry gets a quick fold befor it goes into the hamper
Having four grown children
Adults
And a grandchild six I have custody of since an infant
Of them all my son and my granddaughter have OCD
my neurosurgeon did not address this disorder
As a result I did not fuse after my first ACDF 5/6-6/7
And second surgery botched took my life as I I had it
Changed forevermore
In hindsight I went back to work two weeks after surgery
There I failed myself
Never imposing my disease upon my children
I at a very young age still single digit number in age
I knew something was different about me
I’m now in the later age in my fifties
It is still very much alive in my life
And found s way that “it” is under watch

It is something I welcome
It is the way I get things accomplished
There have been two Jones I worked in my lifetime
One a display company that still uses my orderly method
And a file folder company and they too still use my orderly method for their company

You would laugh if I told you the process of me brushing my teeth

My friends amazed at my methods

My family allowing me the freedom of my disease that helps on many levels

I divorced at 24 with babies to raise
Something I did with my OCD

The one terrible thing with my OCD and when I suffered severe PMS is when I needed to be left alone
Many years
My children amazed how I new if something was moved just a smig

I have learned to use it as a tool
A very important one
And not to impose it upon anyone
I have a problem with uneven numbers
Yet as a designer know it is in the odd numbers of design foes it work
So that just a taste of my disease

I come here today
In a mild depressed way
Having no control over anyone in my life
I now speak of my troubled babies
A difficult road they all are traveling
And here I find comfort
And love that helps this soul
And I too want to give back
With my experience strength and Hope
Welcome
Love
Me
