About Me
I am married to John who is a great caregiver. He is always there for me. Together, we have 13 grand children and 4 great grand children. We live in a small town on the Mississippi River in Andalusia, Ill. My friends had a fund raising benefit for me so that we could remodel our home to accomodate all the equipment that is needed for me to get around. I spend most of my time in bed or in my new recliner watching TV. I wish that I could go to the chat room to chat with all of you who John tells me about. You all sound like your great people. John tells me all about what is happening.
