About Me


Your lucky charm is a Lucky Penny!
What's Your Lucky Charm?
Brought to you by Tickle
I was born with club feet, where both my front muscles overpowered my back muscles, making both feet go up to my leg; it took 8 corrective surgeries in order for me to walk. I had to wear a hip brace & full-length casts on both feet; I also had to wear metal leg braces, till I could walk without them. I then had severe asthma attacks in the 5th grade; my dr advised us to move to a dryer climate, so I could breathe. My last surgeries, was in 1981 & I was told that would be my last that I could have; it's also probably because my body won't take it anymore. I've lived with my parents all my life & we support 1 another...START BZOINK.COM SURVEY CODE

Heroes:

I have many heros from different yrs for different reasons; I also respect a lot of my heros, since some of them helped me to walk. My little girl heros are: Orthopedic Drs & nurses & the Osmond Family; the Osmonds were there & helped me to be still during my asthmatic yrs. My grown-up & today's heros are: Michael Flatley & the cast of Feet of Flames USA Tour & the ALTs & Guests of Mad Mad House; they all helped me to get rid of a person who I thought was a friend & wasn't really 1. They've also helped me to become more Spiritual & have emotions I haven't had in awhile & new 1s.
