I didn't fall off the face of the earth!

Just thought I should check in. I'm sick. Again. Some of you know that I have a serious and rare medical condition. Because of it, I tend to get sick whenever I've been stressed or haven't gotten enough sleep. Normally I manage pretty well, but sometimes it all catches up with me.

Anyway, I'm on the mend and things look like they're settling down around here. So I am back!

Carry on.

I think I'll just stay in here where the folks are nice and the conversation is good. That's a sure way to feel better, isn't it?

if I stay right here there won't be any stress. So that's what I'm gonna do for awhile. Except for my Dr. appt in a couple of hours. Hopefully no more IV antibiotics. Yay!

I haven't been on much myself as life out in the world is commanding my attention but when I've been on here I look for you and ..no Devon. Thanks for letting us know and I hope you're able to keep stress and lack of sleep at bay as much as humanly possible!

I'm better now. No more IV antibiotics so I can even leave the house if I want to. Of course there's snow all over the place so maybe not...

No more iv antibiotics. I've got some new insomnia drugs. And maybe tomorrow I can get some exercise for the first time in a couple of weeks. I did a short walk today but not enough to count. But at least I tried.

It's so great to see you here.
