I am a disabled veteran. I have severe autoimmune issues, significant spinal destruction, severe to extreme spinal stenosis, severe chronic pain and full urinary incontinence, ongoing worsening full incontinence.

Vey much interested in talking with others dealing with the same things or others who understand what it is I'm up against.

I REFUSE to allow my disabilities to define me or rule my life. I admit, when at my worst, I'm physically incapable of going anywhere or doing anything and struggle to care for myself but...I've never quit anything in my life and will not start now!

If there's anyone else in NE Pa (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area) who's interested in speaking, please don't hesitate to contact me! Going through a divorce (she could not care less about my issues and I'd be dead IF I had to rely on her!) and I am very much hoping to meet someone with compassion and empathy although I am very much my own man, very much as active as my body allows and NEVER going to "surrender"!
