I have been dealing with continuial medical problems and multiple surgeries for most of my life, I lost all of my reproductive system at a very young age and continue to have tumors, cysts, (sp)pollups, adheisions, etc. Thankfully since loosing my reproductive system, all tumors have been benign. I have always tried to keep positive, and look to the bright side. But this has been a very rough past year. Last December 20th I had a very long and complicated surgery which took me until mid April to begin to feel back to my "normal". On the 4th of July I was not feeling very well so I stayed at home. I was alone in my house sleeping when something at my bedroom window woke me up, as that registered, my front door was kicked in and 1 of the 3 men trying to break in was inside the house with me. 2 of them were eventually caught, but due to an improper police photo line-up they were not charged but thankfully they had other warrants and violations so they are off the street. Then 1 & 1/2 months ago I was violently assaulted. I ended up with staples & many many many stiches in my head and face. I am feeling pretty low & helpless right now. Having no medical insurance makes things just about impossible. The cost of my prescriptions alone are astronomical, I have many waiting at the pharmacy that I can't afford to pick up. I take comfort in the poem "Footsteps" for I know right now I am being carried but I was wondering does anyone have any additional words they might share? Thank you for taking the time to read my short story. I kind of feel a little better thinking someone might be "listening" to me
