Dear Crushers, I have missed you guys sooooo much, you'll never know!!!
I thought I best let you know what's been going on with me for the last year. And yes this will be a novel. lol
A little over a year ago I started getting sick. Thought I had a bad case of the flu and at the end of December I was in bed.
Barry started getting sick the end of December. We both were in bed and fortunately Barry was able to get a home nurse mid January to come in and take care of him. (I don't have insurance) She was such a sweetheart and checked on me when she came to see Barry.
Towards mid January to the end of the month, I had a couple of days where my temp was up to 105/106 fortunately the temps only lasted a couple of days. I would wake up to go potty and didn't know how to get out of bed fortunately I would figure it out before it was too late.
I forgot how to smoke. I found myself trying to light my chapstick. I had Barry remove my smokes and lighter. lol Fortunately I slowly started feeling better. Oh on a good note I lost 35 pounds. lol
It took until around June to get back to almost normal. The 2nd week of July I woke up and my right side of my face had dropped. It scared me so bad. I watched to see if I had any stroke signs and after hours I hadn't had any.
Barry of course wanted to take me to the hospital (no insurance) and I refused. About 6 weeks later I finally went to insta care to find I have Bells Palsey. Its a virus and settles in behind the ear drum (if I remember right lol) and it is curable with steriods and patience.
Usually its over before 6 months but can take up to a year. I'm pushing 6 months now ... but ... finally I have started seeing improvement ... my wrinkles are appearing back on that side of my face LOL
This has really played hell with my eyes and I have times that I can't really see for a few days. The past 6 months Barry has been my chauffeur, right arm, etc. But I can see I am getting better ... but
I have forgot a lot of things, but am starting to remember some. I get frustrated very easily and I'm trying to improve on that.
Oh and I have lost 55 pounds yayyy, thats a good thing LOL
I contacted Geno the end of last month and asked him if there was anything small I could help him with. He asked if I could do the daily contests (he already had the contests made up) I just put images in them and every day at midnight eastern time I put a new contest out and close some of the contests.
I was very frustrated in the beginning but every day it seems a little better. I surprised myself and have remembered some of the things I use to around here but ... I am taking baby steps and thank you Geno for allowing me to do this!!! You are a wonderful man and I will always love you!!!
Crushers, unfortunately I'm not able to come back full time now, but I hope with all my heart I'll be able to soon.
I've missed my Crusher family and home!!!
Huge Hugs and Love,
Rita
