Looking for pen-pal in Lenoir - Hickory area

Looking to have surgery with Dr. Lowe in future. Have no family in this area or no siblings or husband would like to have some friends to correspond with. I have diabetes, high blood, high cholestrol, pretruding disk in back and knee problems. I am 46 years old and have a 11 year old son. I have mixed feelings about this surgery can anyone calm me down. Thanks for any encouragement. I loss both parents not long ago and being with mom stressed me out and I got the diabetes she has Alzihemiers third stage when I lost her. I have lost 67 pounds in the last year. I am also tired of having this weight. I have always had a weight problem. I want a change for the better and do some things with my son before he gets any older. I look forward to making some friends and I also am looking for support group in my area. Thanks for any info. Cheri in Lenoir
