Ticking 'Diabetes' really doesn't describe me but still! I am 54 I have 1 grandaughter aged 16 and now have anoter one on the way. I use a powered wheelchair. There is no way that I could get out if I didn't have it. I suffer from Diabetic Neuropathy and am in pain all of the time, I also have Fibromyalgia and Arthritis in my spine. I try very hard to leave as normal a life as possible because if I didn't I don't think that my life would be worth living.

I am also a Methodist Local Preacher, which means that I am responsible for the whole of a service of worship. I love doing it and glad that God called me to do it!
