Welcome Earla

[Guest guest]

Hey Earla! Welcome to the FaMily. This is a wonderful, supportive group of

people who care, and more importantly understand what you are going through.

We know because we are all in the same boat. I rarely leave my house, maybe

once or twice a month. I find it very difficult to motivate myself to get

in the shower. I always enjoy feeling clean afterwards, but it seems like

such an overwhelming chore to get undressed and get under the water and

raise my arms to wash my hair and then have to dry off and get dressed

again. Pretty pathetic, I know.

Anyway, looking forward to getting to know you better.
