Hi Ginnie and Welcome to NT. Guess What? Your'e not alone anymore. You have us!!! It does sound like you have a great supportive family and that's a plus.
I also suffer from Fibro, so know all too well the pain and frustration it can cause. I looked up Arachnoiditis and all I can say is, you have alot to deal with.
But, just wait till you get that lil pup in your loving hands. Nothing can make me smile like puppy kisses.
Glad to have you w/us and let us know what you name the new furbaby.
Cindy already gave you some great directions, so I just decided to chit chat w/you. Jump in anywhere and join us...
take care.
