Hello All,

The unneeded drama I have had to deal with in Micronet has finally died down 
so it's on to bigger and better things.

I have committed to buy that minivan I spoke about.  I have to wait until 
February 24 when my parents close the sale on their current house to get the 
cash to buy it.  It's been so long since I've had a set of wheels I won't know 
what to do with my freedom! LOL

When I get the minivan, I am considering going back to work part-time at a job 
I can physically handle.  There is a chance that I may start volunteering 
instead.  Right now, the field is wide open on that.

My insulin pump is working very well for me.  It's looking more and more like 
I will be getting that foot reconstruction surgery I need next winter.

I've also been referred to the pain clinic at ly local VA hospital about my 
lower back (if you don't know, I have degenerative disc disease in L4-L5 in my 
lower back).  I'm hoping to find a way to get some relief from the constant 
severe pain in my back.

I'm also happy that my parents were able to buy a home in a very good location 
for themselves (and for me).  They are less than a 10 minute drive from me and 
my younger sister (she lives on the other side of town) and they are very 
close to "everything", including the VA hospital.  I feel better having them 
in town and close to me so in case anything happens, I can be there  for them.

It's nice to have good things to look forward to.
