Sounds all doom and gloom but its not. I'm a cheerful soul and don't let much get me down, although sometimes my health wins that battle but only temporarily. It is wonderful to find others with the same contraption as me and hear their stories - suddenly I don't feel do alone!

I look forward to reading and contributing as well as making new friends.

Meanwhile I wish you all - love, life and happiness
