Hi!  I'm a 45  year old RN in KY.  I have a house full of dogs and cats, two jobs, going to school full time plus a list of autoimmune diseases and a newly empty nest.  I'm learning how to live my 'new' life, accomodating my ever-changing health status.  I've found alone-ness (not loneliness) to be the enemy and have found folks who understand online.  I want to reach out and encourage others to NOT sink into alone-ness!
