About Me
I went through a lot of testing and passed everything. The docs couldn't come up with anything else so lumped me into the PLS category. Now I just wait and the docs watch. I love camping with my family, but I'm afraid this year it's going to be much more difficult. I am going to give it all I've got. I just have to go camping. Love it, Love it, Love it. Back to the simple things in life. I have 3 great children and a wonderful husband. I no longer work which is hard on the income, but we're making it and that's all the matters. I remain hopeful and wait for a cure.
