Margie, my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine the stress of long-term recovery coupled with depression, a move and worries about meds. And yet you manage a daily walk, find your way here and even share a God bless -- Wow. When you're ready, I hope you'll have a chance to reach out to support groups, new health care teams, maybe even new friends in your new home. In the meantime we are here for you!

Love & Hugs,

Mama
