Hey folks,
This is an old thread from last year that someone posted. I actually just saw this a few mins ago while trying to find another thread...
I know this is old news..REALLY old, actually... But since so many wondered last year where I disappeared to , I thought I'd FINALLY give a late explanation about it all.
Early last Oct, I got sick suddenly and had to be rushed to the hospital. I ended up spending five wks inpatient with a life threatening infection. I initially recovered from that infection and was released from the hospital last November, but was on strict bedrest. In December of last year, I got another serious and life threatening infection, though, and spent another ten days in the hospital fighting for my life. Again, I recovered. I came home a week before Christmas, and was back on strict bed rest until I guess January '06. It didn't end there. Just this past April, I had surgery and was BACK in the hospital for five days, and BACK on bed rest for another month. Since then, I've fully recovered, and I'm finally doing alot better.
I want to thank everyone for their well wishes during that time. I know I probably should have said something, but I was really struggling with my health, and I kinda didn't want anyone to know. I had told a few friends about it. This is how Eve was able to post the update on me...SHE had't heard from me either, so she got hold of my phone # from someone that we both knew online, and called my house. I wanted people to respect my privacy, though, so I told her to keep a lid on my illness and where I was. It was hard , and I honestly didn't want to answer to alot of questions about where I was. I'm about to come upon the one year anniversary of when this all started, though, and I've had a change of heart, sorta. I STILL don't want alot of hoopla about it, but I also feel I owe something to you all since so many inquired about me.
I thank you all for caring. It means alot to me to know that so many of you were thinking of me when I was so sick.
