About Me	Things have been rough in my life and I'm still having trouble... But I am blessed with a wonderful husband who cares, and a beautiful daughter who can't live without me. I am old enough to drink, legally... Born and Raised in San Antonio. I met Ray... I had never been with anyone with that many tattoo's or that many stories of his 'bad boy' days. I fell in love with him...got pregnant. We were married in our favorite park...just the three of us; him, me, and the reverand. Started having difficulties with the pregnancy at 3 months, and at 5 1/2 months, or 25/40 weeks, a clot lodged in the umbilical cord, and my daughter was technically dead for 72 seconds. She spent the first 4 months of her life in the Neonatal Intansive Care Unit in Forth Worth's 2nd best hospital...a town I had never been in.

The high dosage of Lyrica is making me loopy and able to pass out in the middle of a conversation...but my hands don't crinckle up and hurt any more. Until my next Dr. appointment, I'm just trying to figure out who I am now, and how I'm gonna get it. I want to provide a comfortable home for my children, and the ability to pay for college...but I still don't quite know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm looking for questions to probe thoughts of who I am, I would like help in dealing with the pain of my disease, and I'm trying to be an awsome wife and mother! I want to make and keep both of them happy and proud. I am losing strength, and I need help. I am tired of trying to explain in 50 different phone calls of what's going on. I just want...(read more)
