HELLO EVERYBODY AT CARE2
Nov 5, 2009

Hello, and first my apologies for not frequenting this site, as often, as I use to. I have been quite ill. As you already know-I have Spastic Paraplegia. I have Pancreatitis, but have recently found out that I have Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3, and Chronic Lymphatic Leukaemia. I have had it for some years now, as I was exposed to toxic chemicals in 1987.  In April, my husband and I became grandparents. Here is me with my daughter and her with my grandson. 

It is the type which lasts over 20 years, and I am in the last five years, before it progresses to the final stages. Besides my lymph nodes swelling up and a bit of fatigue-I am fine. Mostly I have been fighting kidney infections and getting over a bout of Swine Flu.
