I live with my partner Sean, whom I love very much. I can't even begin to tell you here about frustration of his living with severe disabling chronic pain and the enormous impact this has on all levels of our lives - from his being unable to work despite his incredible computer knowledge, to the day-to-day struggles and adaptations we have to make. But he's more than worth every bit of it. A back brace, a walker, a TENS unit, a full-length vibro-massage pad, and some scary meds at least help somewhat.

We share a two-bedroom apartment in Kingston, Ontario with four cats. You can see them at their own site. Previously, we've also had a hamster, Flash, and a monster goldfish, Jaws, living here, but both have since left us.
