@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I am having a bad day. Very depressed and want to cry but my meds don't let me. It's been raining outside so that doesn't help either. Bye for now and talk to you when I feel better ❤️

I sure wish I lived by you, I'm sure we could be great friends and wonderful support for each other. My husband doesn't understand or support me either so at least when we got together we could talk about them. lol Wouldn't it be wonderful if our husbands truly understood? I had pneumonia last week and he didn't even take me to my recheck, he said I sounded better so why waste the money and go back? Well you take care and I'm here if you need me. Prayers my friend 💕
