Dear Friends,
This past year or so of blogging has totally changed my life, having communicated with some of you whom I will never meet face to face and those of you whom it may be a possibility someday because you live nearby. Wherever you live, you’ve continued to be a great source of inspiration and support for me during those times when you have no idea just how bad I needed it. You really have kept me going. That’s why it hurts me to say that at least for the next month, if not longer, I will be taking the blog offline so that it doesn’t appear abandoned and unfinished, and does not leave me looking like someone who just up and quit. Right now my focus has to be on my health, home and family. My home needs work that I can do, and I need to spend more time with family. At night when the house is quiet, I will be working on the website so that I can relaunch it at a better time.
I hope to have everything completed by the end of September. My 31st birthday is September 26, and I’m hoping that (God willing I see that day) by then we’ll have a treatment plan in place and my pain management will also be regimented. The pain management has been rough, as I just came off a 2 1/2 week flare up that was pure misery. I am hoping we can get to the bottom of the reason for that pain, or if it is just 30 years of sitting and being too fat. The weight loss surgery…I’ll have to figure that out and I’ll let you know if it’s going to happen.
To all of you who have sent e-mail, left comments, entered my contests or just had generally nice things to say, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made me realize that there are still wonderful people in this world.
Please keep this website bookmarked, and I will e-mail some of you when I get the site back up and running. I just don’t have the energy to get it caught up in such a hurry for it to be useful for you all so this makes more sense.
You may still hear from me, for those of you who have e-mailed me. You may even get coupons or something in the mail someday
If I still, yes, still, owe you a prize, then I will someday get that to you if I sponsored the contest.
To sum it all up, thank you. I look forward to “seeing” you all again soon!
Kristin
