Reading what many of us have been through this year makes me think I have not had it so bad. I turned 77 on th 7th of April....I said to myself 3- 7's sounds like a winner but it has not turned out that way. I have thyroid eye disease and there is no treatment just a lot of pain and discomfort. It usually last 2 to 3 yrs. so with every passing day I say "One day closer to healing." It can't drive, read or quilt so it has taken my pastimes. I know I will get through it but it has been very humbling. God grant me a better 2011.
