I love your post and your attitude and the fact that you are comfortable in your own skin (and on your bike). Have a group - any group you choose gives all of us an opportunity to help others at times, vent if necessary and just have someone to "talk" with if one is alone or suffering with few ways to communicate otherwise.

Thank you for your story. It is inspiring.

Thank you so much @olderdiva12345 ! I like what you said. It is true, Mayo Connect offers a place for people to openly share stories with one another. I love how members reach out to members and welcome them into the group, giving them a safe place to "talk" as you say. I think sometimes we may feel alone in our disease process, because maybe those around us don't understand. Then when we find others are out there and they do understand, we don't feel so alone anymore.
And I love the sound of your red scalloped potatoes! Using leeks? Yum! I don't peel my potatoes either...the skin is the best part! @mecha suggested a wonderful book, "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" for me to read. It was so good, and I shared it with several of my reading friends. Potatoes are the best vegetable on the planet!
