Happy Saturday everyone! I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I just thought I would pop in and let everyone know what has been going on. Many of you know that I was the target of a driver not paying attention to pedestrians about a year ago. Unfortunately, my injuries are bad enough that the effects will stay with my for the rest of my life. Fun, huh? Yeah, I like walking like Igor! And of course, who does not love having pain 24/7. Sometimes it is all I can think about. Well, a little over a month ago, I also had to have an emergency appendectomy. Now that was tons of fun!!!! I had lots of complications as well. I never like anything to just be simple! And my sister got the doctors and nurses to label me a troublemaker! But they were all great to me! The doctor did say it would take 2-3 months to fully recover and I think he was right! I am feeling a bit better than when I came home, but not great yet!
What I have discovered is that now, it takes me a lot longer to make a post and that is depressing me. Sometimes it takes 2-3 days. I am working on this. But this is why I have not posted as much as usual in the last month. And no, I have not approved all pending comments. Sometimes, those are more than I can deal with. Especially after having one person tell me it was more important for me to remove her comments than for me to rest.
And this was 4 days after surgery. So, not only did I take 2 hours to find and remove her comments, I have banned Martha from commenting. Sometimes it would be nice to see people show some compassion rather than just worry about themselves. And others, like Michael P., who think that if they email me multiple times that I will do it faster, need to be patient. I will get to it. Right now I am doing the best that my situation will allow me to do. But these people have given me plenty of material for “We’ve Got Mail”. Yeah, it does not really pay to push and irritate the blog owner! However, it does do my heart a lot of good to have seen and felt the best wishes that most of you have sent me, be it on Facebook or thru email. It has meant a lot to me and kept me going! So, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!!! Hopefully I will be back up to speed soon!!!!

Bonnie,
I hope things are going well for you. Take all the time you need to recover. I had surgery as a child (long time ago) so I dont remember the recovery but its just common sense to know that not only did you have surgery but you do have your life to live and that you cant always answer people right away. You do a great job and its always great to see your blog in my emails.
I love your blog and I will wait patiently for it to arrive.
Take care of yourself first!!!

Thanks!!! Doing my blog is something that is so very important to me! It helps me deal with the day to day issues of thinking of my mom’s murder. I guess I feel like it is a mission for me, to remind people that the victim’s and their loved ones are the ones that matter! My sister says that she can gauge how I am feeling by whether or not I am posting in my blog. So, really, this helps me recover in some ways. It helps my mind and my heart. And since I am not working, it is kinda my job!

Sometimes it is easy to forget that behind a blog like this there is an actual human being who has a life. I don’t know if you can understand what I mean. Thanks for this post. I hope you get better and don’t worry about not posting often enough. If this is something you enjoy doing then do not take that out of it by stressing
