My name is Jude. I am also 65 & live in west central Florida, pretty much due west of you. I used to watch space rockets go up next to the outdoor movie screen when I was a kid.

Don't worry about shouting in caps... Everything came across gently in polite lower case

I'm delighted to meet you. I'm going to give you some links to forums where you will probably find people with common experiences & concerns. You can read through them & reply to any that you connect with. Or you can start a thread of your own.

I'm guessing you moved from Illinois? So far not just from your doctors, but friends too. & housebound. Are for caring for the 18 month old alone? You are certainly welcomed here. As another of the members says (& makes me smile) "kick off your shoes & stay awhile."


Please, do.
