Haven't been on much.

It's been a long time since I stopped in. Just checking it out.

My sister Penny has gone through radiation for a brain tumor. She had problems with blood clots for a while, but that seems to be cleared up. She is currently applying for disability since her health does not permit her to work even at a part time job. Her vision has been affected by the tumor and she is unable to drive.
