The Real Story of Where I’ve Been
Hello! How I’ve missed it here! It’s time to get FAR more personal than I ever thought I would in public. I feel I owe a further explanation to the loyal and wonderful readers of this site.
For those who don’t know, I’ve been too ill to communicate for the better part of a year. Severe Central Sensitization Pain Syndrome (the worst case 50+ doctors have ever seen) was compounded by this. And these tragedies were recently complicated by a near-death emergency surgery incident.
You can read my dad’s previous hospital updates HERE and listen to an embarrassing, rambling voice recording of more details (can’t type) that I sent to my closest friends HERE.
The road ahead is long and grueling, but I’m ready for the fight of a lifetime…mostly because of the amazing people in my life, and unrelenting desire to be of service to humanity.
I want to give credit to my amazing friends for making and displaying this motivational graphic. It warmed my heart so beautifully…I’m still not over the wonderful surprise! Gets me every time I see it…
THANK YOU for supporting me. My love and gratitude are beyond all measure. I still cannot respond to comments, but I appreciate them with all my heart.
Special thanks to my incredible proxy blogger, who keeps my dreams alive when my body cannot do so. What a precious gift.

Hey would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using? I’ve
loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and I must say this
blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a
good hosting provider at a fair price? Cheers, I appreciate it!

I just have to note, that it appears that a spammer bot feels that all of these health problems can be solved if you buy a vibrator. Love you. -SY
