My Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi yall,

I am 53 &  from the Tyler TX area & yes I am a lucky owner of the CMT gean. Some

times very frustrating, sometimes sad/mad and then sometimes I just have

to laugh at myself after looking up from the ground I have just fallen onto

AGAIN.

I don't know about anyone else but my legs seem to quite often have a mind of

their own. You know when your mind says " OK We are taking a step now..... &

your legs seemly chuckles & says O so you think so do ya.... then you eat dirt.

LOL!  B

But all in all one HAS to keep a smile on their face  & a strong since

of determination high on their list of daily things to do. I come from a long

line of CMT family on my Dad's side. (I still love you Dad). The Hudgins family

out of N.C.

I know of a cousin, Carolyn who I was named after, who also has CMT, I remember

her from my childhood, who I would love to locate.  My younger sister & I were

blessed with CMT out of 3 kids. My older sister is fine. 

No one knows how awesome it was to find out that there is a place where I can

converse with other CMTites. And that someone else actually knows that CMT is

real including doctors. I just cried when I got the list with 2 doctors near my

area that I can check on going to.

At this time in my life things in the CMT world are moving on faster, which I am

not happy about. (I am too independent to ask for help, I'm learning, I just

don't like waiting. SOOO IF there is a way I can finagle to get it done I will

give it all I've got before retreating to that 4 letter word " help " ). With

things progressing as they are it is becoming harder for me to get around even

inside & out side my home.

On the DVD I got from CMTA Gretchen mentioned assistance, a grant or low

interest loan I think, for disabled to build a handicap accessible home. Dose

any one have info on that of any kind? Gretchen said to ask about it on her

site. So here I am with a smile on my face, holding to my faith for some good

news.  Hoping to get out of this cramped MH. Not complaining, but I just see

what is ahead of us & need to move on things before I get too far along and cant

get in or out of the house. I'd go NUTS. I need to be out side, it's in my

blood.

After all I plan to be around for some time yet & can not be stuck indoors. I

keep telling my kids to warn the Grand kids that Nana will be willed to them. I

intend to live to at least 103 (Granmaw was 100). & I don't plan on leaving this

world of natural causes....so hide the car keys kiddos. LOL!

I do want to THANK each of you for this site & May God Bless all your efforts to

reach out to more & more of us with CMT.
