I am finally home. In the comfort of familiar. In the peace of family. In the hope of healing.

My health is kind of a dance right now, walking the razors edge between healing and infection having to learn the balance between what I can and can’t do. Deciding each day, whether I push further or need to draw back. All of that is a challenge for someone like me. After I put out my ask for assistance, I was able to find some strength to begin to do the advocacy. I have also had some input from some really good people, but the end that I seek is to ensure that nobody has to go through the same pathway as I did. So my advocacy is going to have to be broader and stronger than just me.

I learned a few things I learned unless you open up and show your vulnerability you won’t get as much support because people don’t know. But the moment the people who are important to you know they will show up.

My gratitude for the visits the cards, of course the chocolate and the friendships that are sustaining me and bringing me back from the edge of feeling lost. Every post every message opened my heart. I still will be looking for a professional who can help me manage this condition into the future and you might be able to be there if this occurs again more quickly resolve or find a pathway to health.

It’s funny because I’ve always cared about supporting people and it sometimes quite a surprise to see who shows up and that always brings a smile to my face.

Thank you, thank you thank you.

I have a lot of rest to catch up on because as we all know eight days in the hospital, probably equals 10 hours of sleep. But I will drink tea. I will sleep and I will continue to be thankful for the beautiful people in my life. I still am harboring an infection, but I have four more days of a pretty intense antibiotic that should knock it out and a drain that is helping to do so sending out big love.

Big love to all
