I had only gotten married 4 years prior to RSD and we tried unsuccessfully to pull it off in the last quarter (I was 38 when we married) so I didn't give myself much time to even attempt children, though a mother is the one thing I always wanted to be. We had already decided it wasn't safe for me to continue, at my age after two losses. I Still can't imagine social services or any agency allowing us to adopt with my RSD, so family was not working out for us. The sacrifice you are making to have a healthy child is very impressive. Forgoing the drugs that are dangerous, that would give you pain relief. You are a brave one.
Keeping you in my thoughts, Sylvia

Hi Sylmeister,
I've been wanting to text you to tell you how sorry I am that you couldn't have kids. I know it's not the same but dogs are wonderful companions. They are like kids with fur coats on. Anyway, I'm not trying to interfere with your personal life, I just wanted you to know that I care and am always here if you need a friend. P.S. One of my babies was my son Ryan who is 20 years old now. My other baby was my furry son Coby (my sheltand sheepdog). I had to put him to sleep two years ago-He was only 10 years old. He had lupus and was very sick. It broke my heart, so I got another furry child. Her name is Sarah and she is a rescue dog. She is a big love and I'm crazy about her. Well, I hope you don't mind me talking about this, I just wanted you to know I cared. Hope you are doing okay and have a good night.
