@mamacita Good morning My grandson is always in my mind. I moved from Pa.to help raise him his Mom @dad work full time so I for 6 years took care of him Now he is 11and can make his own way in the world but I'm here for him when he needs me
My son is going on a 3 week hike in Yosemite I'm worried about. I am going today for a back injection I fractured my back in 2005 , my whole left side is affected my nerves trapped by bone going into my legs so I too have alot of problems beside anxiety ,
We in Long Beach have an Autistic program for people here I'm sorry to be telling you all this and yes you are faced with alot I don't understand but my physical problems I have are pain everyday .Let's just be happy we are alive and don't watch the news I don't it's to depressing. In glad I'm at the end if my life not the beginning we can't help what is in the future for our loved ones so try not to worry,we can't do anything about it ,it is what it is

Aww, dearest @lioness, I had to to back and read your post multiple times over the past two days. I appreciate your wise, kind words more than you know.

I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. I can certainly empathize with you. I am in a Fibroflare, and all my joints and nerves are giving me the level of pain that I have grown accustomed to. I have been somewhat productive in spite of these awful condirions. And I really do have a lot to be thankful for.

I am really grateful for the life I have. Even with unrelenting pain, I can smile and keep going. Our human nature tells us there's always something new and good around the corner. If we indeed look for the good, we will find it.

Speaking of good, Mayo Clinic is. Good. I have recommended them multiple times this week in person and online. I will not hesitate to go to the local (4hours away) Mayo Clinic Campus in Jacksonville Florida, if my latest meds do not work out.

Thank you for your valuable time and your kindness. I look forward to meeting you in person one day! Until then,
Adios,
Mamacita
