I am
Angela Bell Goode

Born 12-19-1965 in a
small coal mining town in Southern West
Virginia.
I am caregiver to my disabled sibling Rose
Lee who has Rheumatoid Arthritis and linear
scleroderma. Has been in a wheelchair since 16.
Almost 42.
I have lived in Morristown, Tennessee
since 2003
I will be having Laparoscopic Roux-en Y
Gastric Bypass surgery in
August 2009.
      
I am an insulin dependent diabetic, with
chronic kidney failure, recurring urinary tract
infections, sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, irritable
bowel syndrome, insomnia, hypersomnia,
hypertension, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic
retinopathy, high cholesterol, manic depression,
panic attacks, and social anxiety.
I have been Celibate since November 17th
1994 due to lack of self esteem and confidence.
I was sexually molested between the ages
of 6 to 13. Men and relationships terrify me.
I am very fond of Twitter.
http://www.Twitter.com
and have made many friends there.
