Thanks everyone for your info and well wishes.

I'm so determined to be normal, I can't believe I keep having problems popping up! I had my little pity party a few posts ago over my "broken legs", but I've had my big girl panties on ever since.

If sheer determination could right things, I'd be right as rain!!!

My bone doc told my onc that he could not believe I was walking around on my fractured legs when they were dx'd. My onc told him "That's just who she is." I love my onc.

I'm still working more than full time, running my little jewelry business on the side, coach cheerleading, involved in church, singing in the choir, leading music for Bible School, working in my yard, helping to plan my son's wedding, taking care of my family, staying active in this group.........I just do it all at a different pace and take each step carefully...literally!!!

I'll deal with this however it turns out.

That's just who I AM!

Love you all,
