Kathy Overall:  

Well, this is Kathy (sometimes called K.O., or still Dobos). Because of my SLE Lupus, and now having Fibromylgia; I have had to really learn to cut down on being a very active person, and believe me that was very hard to do. Though I have a lot of pain almost all of the time, I don't take anything for pain; so I have just learned to deal with it and that is exactly what I do. U all must remember throughout school how active I was in things, esp. w/in the sports. For me having to learn to slow down was the hardest thing for me to do w/in my life; but I have done it and don't let it bother me. When I have my good days let me tell u I still can't be kept down w/doing nothing (I go until I drop). Nah, but I still love it when I can be very active, then the next few days I pay for it w/pain in my body. Oh well that is enough about the health end, it just lets u know where I am physically. I still like to get out there and through a football around (which I loved for the longest time when growing up, until my dad made me quit playing when I had turned 16). Was afraid that I would get hurt then playing w/the guys. But I was given the nick name back then (lighting) for how fast I ran, making touch downs, and getting through the front line. Still is my favorite sport, then hockey. I enjoy throwing a football, baseball, playing basketball w/my son and w/my grandson. and teaching the younger grandson socceer and etc. And I love swimming and walking. Think I have always loved my sports, except golfing. Maybe w/in the near future I will get back into the medical field; I loved that. I had worked for a doc. in a chiropratic office, there I was his CA, helped him w/physical theraphy, taking and developing x-rays, I was the office manager and did everything for him. Next I had went on to working in the pharmacy as a tech., filling scripts, answering phones, doing the stock and etc. In other areas of work I have worked as a cashier, worked at the metro airport, a green-house, I have taken care of people that were disabled and have did what I could do for them. I enjoy reading, esp. factual writings- and I enjoy doing Bible Study. Withing my house I have or I should say that we have taken literally homeless people off of the streets and taken them...Expand for more
