I'm Still Here...just Barely

[Guest Emma Hale Smith]

Hello Everyone who Remembers Me,

I'm sorry I havent't been around lately. I suddenly had a horrible infection that knocked me on my tooshie. So, I'm just checking in to let you know I'm not a drive-by poster.

I'm feel better, but not uch, though physically I am a lot better. My kidneys started to shut down and I was in the ICU for a couple of daysl That scared the $#@#T%#@ out of me. But they came back just fine. I don't really understand everything. It happened so suddenly..I just thought I had the flu.

The good news is I lost 20 lbs. Seeings' how I' 250 lbs, that' a good thing. Of course, I know if I get my health ack, that'll probaly come back soon plus another 10. Yikes!

Okay, I'm exhausted already. Hopefully I'll be back soon. I've peeked inside here a few times, but havn't had the strenth to write. Believe it or not, I've missed you guys.

Take care,

Emma

Oooh, that does sound scary. Glad you're feeling better... take it easy until you're completely over it. I'm sure you know that more than anything, your body needs sleep to recover.

Kidney problems is serious stuff, so take it easy and look after yourself.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. :)

I am feeling much better lately, though still a little weak.

I've never been through anything like this before. Jeez!

I've been going through some of the threads--I feel like I've been totally out of touch! It's nice to see what's going on.

I'll be talking to all of you soon. Again, thanks to those of you who thought of me. Made me feel good. :)
