Dear Good Neighbors of OTFN, I want to express my gratitude for your graciousness & patience with my recent absence. Prior to this message, I had tried to make a full comeback from my bout with UTI but it wasn't to be. My full-body infection came back with a vengance & this time it is E-Coli. I just finished a round with Macrobid and will be getting another culture this week to see if it did any good. It has been literally sapping the strengt out of me.

I feel a resurgence of energ again perhaps from finishing the round of meds. I am hoping it is bec the meds worked. Time will tell on that. I have been plagued with them most of my life since having 8 pregnancies ( 3 of them being unsuccessful) plus 6 surgeries in the lastr 3 years, all with urinary catherizations.My UTI was originally thought to be caused by catherizations. The last time being February 25 of this year while hospitalized with my most recent Transient Isochemic Attack (TIA) as evidenced in my persoanal Photo Gallery) http://www.dailystrength.org/people/545855/photos-videos

I hope to resume a parial comeback this week both here & in my outside volunteer activites. (More about those on http://www.dailystrength.org/groups/over-the-fence/discussions/messages/14494754 ) I am wading in carefully on those activities, Most of them to resume in August or September.

I particularly want to apologize to those Members In Need. You know who you are as when you are journaling if you check off a unhappy or gloomy face, you are automatically lumped into a special file that appears at the heading on the Members' Photo Gallery heading called Members In Need which I tried to attend to on a regular basis. This is along with DrJH, our Neighbors In Need Admin, who being an undergraduate Psych major currently actively engaged in college, has been busy with exams & those lovely term papers! I hope to be back in touch with Y'All's soon having been unofficially a founder in need myself. You would have known that had I journalled of which I am amiss.

At any rate, I am happy to resume that which pleases me most of all of my volunteer activities, & that is taking care of Y'All's. Thanx for hangin in there & not quttin the site on me in my absence. and, Thanx especially to Y'All's great Family of Admins & regular Good Neighbors that have kept things going so well in my absence. Please don't stop now but I hope to be rejoining you somewhat this week. I hope to coem back gradually to rejoin.I LOVE Y'All's !!!
