I'm happily married to a man who loves me no matter what, is very supportive and treats me like a queen. I like gardening, reading, dancing, watching TV and being on the internet. I had a benign brain tumor on the nerve to my ear. The removal of it left me deaf in one ear and affects my balance for certain things. For instance, I can't ride a 2 wheeled bike any more, so my husband just recently got me an adult tricycle. There is a history of type 2 diabetes in the family and I am pre-diabetic. So one of the reasons for my wanting to lose weight is to get my blood sugars more controlled and maintaining it so I don't have to take medications for it.
