A little bit about me
I love travel and doing new things. I am currently walking with the aid of a cane, although I can walk without for shorter periods of time. I don't want that to be a surprise or anything. I have severe arthritis in my right knee and eventually will require knee replacement surgery. I currently look after 2 boys, 11 and 4 on the weekends, so I am still capable of doing what I need to.
