young lady 80 years. will never get used to the torture pain. sometimes i feel as though i am having both the rheumatoid and psa at the same time. wow! retired from the nycta and moved to florida. pretty sure i should move back to new york. reason why? doctors. live alone with dog and cat who are great company. to me, the worst of the many health conditions i have is the "going blind" one. have kept myself busy with volunteering for the city. with many departments and am still on the board with the electric and utilities. not for much longer. do you know that if a piece of electric that originates from california can wind up here in florida or wherever due the fact that it goes to were the least resistance is. if the scientists can figure this out i am hopeful they can work with our ailments. don't give up, keep hoping and dreaming. (am still waiting for this last episode to recede and go dancing this saturday or the next one.) there are many stories in the big city and each one of us are "the big city". keep talking and don't stop.
