Welcome to the community Avaadore.

I am sad to hear that you have had to go through so much in such a short period of time. Hopefully your future will be much brighter, and I know that you must be a very strong person for going through all that you have.

Thank you for joining us.

Welcome to the forum.

Its a great place to talk and learn about yourself.

Aloha Avaadore, and welcome to the forum. You've gone through some rough times, but those experiences make you a valuable asset to the community because you're willing to share them. I hope you'll be back often and let us all get to know you.

I, too, have problems staying hydrated, but no port for me, so if you have any other secrets to share about avoiding dehydration, I'd love to hear them!

Hi Avaadore and welcome!
