Thanks, Donna.  Yea, I did go through a really rough time trying to
accept all of this. There was a lot of anger and depression along the
way to where I am now.

Thanks for the hugs, they are always appreciated :)

I am going to the pool now every day as the weather in Washington has
been gorgeous and sunny.  I also was awarded a grant to take a distance
learning course in Scottish Gaelic so I've started on that as well. I
was taking lessons in  Seattle but I can't do those anymore due to the
distance and cost. So I was very happy when the college in Scotland gave
me this grant. It's giving me something to concentrate on as I'm
devoting two hours a day to it. And yes, I have wonderful friends, I
don't know what I'd do without them and everyone here who has kept me
going :)

Thanks also for the prayers. I am also hoping they give it to me until
the SSDI kicks in.

Hugs and Love,
Carole :)
