Ginger,

It is wonderful to have come join us. You'll find a lot of people to ask questions, listen and show comfort to you.

I know what you mean by being on medicine all your life. What types of medicine are you on for your epilespy?

((((((((((Ginger-Dawn))))))))))). :(

Wow, hon'...80 surgeries??!! I continue to be amazed at how fortunate I have been with my measly six! You're so much younger than I am, too. (Are you on Lifewithhydro? I think I've seen your posts there...??)

I see you have already found the hydro board. Good! It's quiet over there, but stick with us. People pop in and out. :)


:hug:

LIZARD :)

It's nice to meet you! I don't know the first thing about all those things you were talking about, but I understand pain and medicine. Ain't none of it fun, huh? I'm glad you found us here, and I hope you decide to stay and make some friends. See you in the future!

Best Wishes,
Idealist
