    1. Okay, you are now in my prayers! I 've not had a great year myself, but I am up and walking again, and fighting to get better. The combo of meds I have to take make me semi-"medically diabetic," and I have gallstones and a hiatal hernia, and GERD, which they are working on a plan for. So I'm a little nervous, but I have support from friends and neighbors that help. There are great people here and much to learn, so hang out with us!

      1. I'm praying for you. You do sound like you have a good plan. I'm glad you are up and walking around. you seem like you know your triggers now, what to watch out for. I'm so glad you have a lot of support.and thank you.

    2. I'm glad to be a part of the team.the people are so nice here.and very insightfull .I feel safe here.
