About me

Gender Female
Occupation abrupt retirement
Location Cave Creek, AZ, United States
Introduction I'm 60 live in desert-y Cave Creek, AZ, with hubby Greg. I got the MS diagnosis in 2003. I gradually declined from hiking in the Grand Canyon to wobbily-walking. My career was a cubicle jockey for a major mutual fund company. I spent the 70's in San Francisco, the 80's & 90's in my original area, suburban Philly. I enjoy cultural events, i.e., live concerts, theatre. Other hobbies include out-back birdwatching, and really good food. My obsession is following and implementing promising new, causal MS research. I read voraciously and like to say I have all the time in the world. We've spotted two juvenile mountain lions pass through our front yard, plus a variety of bobcats on the patio, which makes living in 117 degree weather worth it!!
