Thanks hun

If i happen to win the lottery, I WILL be going to Germany or Australia But for now, I am still hanging in there, and I am more determined then ever NOT to let this thing beat me down.

We WILL overcome this. One way or another

Warm Painfree Hugggz sweetie. I am sooo happy you are painfree, and send my prayers your way that it stays that way
