Carrie,

Yes ,

Sept 6 2009 I was Honorably Discharged from the U.S. Army with Neck & Back Injuries Sustained while in the Army. ( 2 disc in my neck & 4 in my back--cracked up -non fixable) I have filed my VA and SS Disability Paper work and to be able to function financially.

All the gardening I do and write about takes a lot of “Legal Drugs” as well as shots Daily and then I am down for days there after some times a week there are a few young boys that live close to me that help maintain the garden and the fields and field garden when I am down .

I have Migraines, lose my grip on things, fall a lot, get disorientated, forget what I was doing , forget conversations, don’t walk far without losing my breath , pass out & land on my head most of the time, get irritated and that about covers it . most of the time I don’t say much about it to folks though . as I am alive and made it home .
