     I'm not really sure what happened, but back in May, I found myself unable to log into this site; it kept telling me to make sure my cookies were enabled, whatever that means.

     An'hoo, in the early part of June, I wound up being hospitalized with what turned out to be a serious infection in my spine- I lost the ability to walk, or even stand, and I spent two weeks in the hospital being flushed with intravenous antibiotics, then being sent to a nearby rehab center for physical therapy.



     Just wanted to see if this is working again.
I spent two weeks at St. Catherine's, then wound up being rushed back to Providence Health Center, as my blood count dropped dramatically. Two weeks and several transfusions later, back to St. Catherine's for more therapy. Three weeks later, BACK to Providence , as my legs began to lose their strength again. After about a week and a half (I think), back to St. Cath's; I finally got to come home on 12 September.

     I'm still having a wee bit of trouble walking, although I'm doing much better, and my weight went from 330+ to 250. Hopefully, I'll be able to log on from now on.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

I was wondering how you were doing.  I am glad you are well and better.  We missed you.

     Thank you, everyone!
