My Bio

I am a female with many problems. I had so many I couldn''t even list them all here. I have had breast cancer, thyroid disease, bladder disease, herniated disc in back and neck, osteoarthritis, lymphocytic colitis, Intersistial cystitis, and lymphedema. I have had MRSA three times. I have gained and lost weight all my life. The last weight I lost was over two hundred pounds and I have tried my best to keep it off. I try to do some type of exercise each day. Mainly walking and going to water aerobics. I have had many surgeries over my life time and have more to come in the future. A big part of my life has been spent with depression. I have been hospitalized with major depression three times. I even tried suicide once. I am doing better now than I have been in a long time. I had to get rid of a lot of stress in order to acheive this.
