Hi, I'm a young in mind, old in body 60 year old grandma. 
I love all animals, I have one dog, rescued from the streets of Romania, and 2 house cats. My grandson lives with me as my carer, he's 21 on 3rd May! 
I have osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, diabetes (though since losing 5.5 stone, (77 lbs) that is reversed). I suffer with tinnitus,  hearing loss, and sinusitis. Probably my worst problem now, March 2015, I had total knee replacement, and maybe due to walking different who knows, I have severe arthritis in my lower spine, trapping the sciatic nerve, at the moment, it just gets worse every day
