Welcome
I have gained many skills over the years. Recently, I have had to apply for disability. My medical problems prevent me from keeping commitments regularly enough that I am not able to work a steady job or run a business with my current medical conditions
I hope and pray that one day some of these problems will stabilize, but for now my spine, my kidneys, and bladder are having a lot of trouble.
