I have been visiting your site for the last year or so and have
finally decided to take my first steps into
"blogging/chatting", so be gentle with me--this is my
first time.  I am also somewhat computer illiterate, so please
type slowly.  I live in Des Moines, Iowa and the flowers in my
hair have been replaced with a "few" gray hairs.  I
have just recently emancipated myself after 33 yrs, and moved into
a teeny tiny house with room for a garden.  I have two grown
daughters, Demelza 28 and Krista 20.   Demelza has a son
Jaykub 7, and a daughter Kaylee  3.  My granddaughter was
diagnosed  with CF when she was 1yrs old. She had frequent
respiratory problems, smelly stools, and failure to thrive.
 <span style=" text-decoration: underline;">Finally the
Dr. thought to try a sweat test.  I'm still upset it took so
long to diagnose. She has done pretty well, and just got the vest.
 This just so scary for me, especially when I read about all
the stuff you all go through.You guys seem to be a pretty tight
group and I'm awed by your knowledge and thoughtfulness about all
things in general.  I know I'm not walking in your shoes, but
I hope to be trailing along behind you, so don't walk to fast.
 By the way, I work the "graveyard" shift at a
hospital (11p-7:30a).  Hope to be reading you soon.<br>

                                            I
HOPE YOU DANCE<br>

Thanks for the welcome.  Could you fill me in on a few things?
 How do I get "rated"' and what is the
"vote"on your profile?  How long does it take to get
a blog, and does it look like your blog with a side column and all?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to jumping into the fray--you guys are
intense (i wonder why)!  I'm so glad to find a place to
express my fears and hopes.

Welcome to the site, it's great that you are searching for support for yourself through all of this!

As far as getting a blog, if you are interested, there is a topic on the top of this page, "if you want a blog, tell me here" (or something like that). Just type your name and that you want a blog and Bill will take care of you. Not sure how long it takes for him to set it up, I don't have one on this site, I'm sure it's pretty fast.

Not sure about the rating or the vote. I've been here for almost 3 years and have never noticed that feature, either that or it's new when the website got re-vamped. Never used it though... maybe someone else has????

Hope to see you aroudn a lot and we'll be gentle with you, I promise. Let us know whenever you have questions, we're here to help.
