I wanted to thank all of you again for your support. I'm glad we all have each other on here.

I am doing better today. I talked to my step-daughter last week and she was much worse so it brought me down again but as I said, she is strong.

I turned 58 today and her birthday is Sept. 2nd so it's going to be very hard for her I know. I am having trouble figuring out how to acknowledge her birthday after her loss just happened.

I wanted to mention the weather here too. It's been crazy. August has been very rainy which is not typical Colorado weather. I have had to use my heat 3 times this month, definately not Colorado weather. Today it looks like fall of the year and several have told me that the leaves are already turning in the mountains. I want to take a drive and go see the Aspen leaves turning soon.

The weather reaks havok on your pain. My legs and feet at night hurt and seem to never warm up. They stay ice cold. The kids are getting me a new electric blanket today though. I do believe we are going to have a very long cold winter. Last winter was very mild.

I was just wondering if your weather has been as wierd as ours. We have only had 2 days of over 100 degree weather this summer. That's ok with me too but it sure isn't our norm.

Thanks again for all of your support. I am trying my best to pull myself up from everything and I'm sorry I don't come on more to answer any of you. I just have trouble satting at this computer for very long anymore. Not so much the pain but the anxiety.
