Our experience and story

Having a good friend cannot be ever under rated. My pain pain from sciatica has been very troublesome

and a long-time friend has been helping me with shopping requistes. Indebted to her kindness and morale

boosting help which I have not taken for granted offering to go out to lunch (my shout) when my back pain

is better. How much we should treasure our friends is brought home when in a situation as I have been these past weeks. Thank you to my 'angel of mercy.' Bimby2

Re: Our experience and story

hello @Bimby2

How are you?

My name is PeppyPatti.......

It's a great thread to start.
