Why wear a ribbon?

 
"Because I support Addison diesease" (Redders)

MDJunction to me

Macv"For me, MDjunction has been a place where I can share my experiences
living with the very rare bone disease called Ollier's ( Enchondromatosis ) with the parents of children recently diagnosed. I can help them not to run
into the pitfalls my parents did when I was young, give them a bit of a view
from their child's perspective and simply be there to offer support and
hope to people who are scared and just had their lives upended. I also belong to a chronic pain group and it's been a Godsend to be able to actually
talk with others who understand what I'm dealing with. Besides them helping me through my tough times, I can be there to help them as well. Here too, I can use my years of experience to help others avoid pitfalls and it makes me feel good, gives my life more purpose. MDjunction brings people
together when their suffering, at their darkest and feeling alone in this world and allows some light to be brought back into their lives. HOPE, that's what
MDjunction means to me!

My eldest grandson starts school for the first time next week. They live in MT and I' in NY. I wish I could be there to support my daugter. She runs a daycare out of her home so my grandson has never been in daycare. I'm sure he will be ok I just remember how hard it was for me the first day his mother went to school!

woooo-hoooo for a new grandbaby!! You sound very excited about the possibilityLaughing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a looooong, looooooong time before I have grandkids. But, when the time is right, they'll be cherished!!

I would love a new grandbaby! I was a young mother and a young grandmother. I will probably have great great grandkids before I go home with the Lord! I made an appointment with my doctor in Sept. to talk about a wt loss plan. I'm really ready to lose the wt for good! I don't know what or how I will do it yet. But I figured it is a start to talk about it anyway. I won't be able to have surgery because I had anorexia as a teen. That means I don't qualify for surgery now. I'm an adult and I can use an adult brain to decide now. It's not fair that I have no say in the matter. I hope we can come up with something that will work for me. I have tried every diet you can imagine. Any advice on things that have worked for you would be welcome! Thanks! Hope
