To my friends, fellow heppers

[Lady Lauri]

Hello ALL! I hope everyone is getting thru tx, re-cooping or finding answers whether to or not to!

I took a very needed break from a few things the past mth.

While I miss you, getting my life back is like....coming back to life! Out of the fog, the dark, the reclusive ness of it all. Any newbies.....I was Geno 2b, tx 24 weeks, UND week 4, SVR!! I did not do well, homebound, bed ridden thru most. Post tx was just h*ll also for me. First 4 weeks, sicker than during. Next few mths relentless muscle pain, fatigue, mental depression, just thought life would never get back to normal.
7 mths post.....a couple weeks  ago it's like I woke up and I was better, back to -almost-normal. The leg pain just left me! Very few days I have any pain now, and it was a lot of pain!  It is SUCH a relief to know I am, will get back to normal. 5-6 mths post, I was getting very worried.

While I am sure most understand, I do apologize for MIA for awhile, not answering some PM's, notes. I also am dealing with my sister being given a time now on her life (cancer) and along with this tx, struggle, my mind is pretty whipped. My heart is very whipped. BUT, I am regaining my life, riding my butt off and it feel's awesome! I care about MANY here and just wanted to say, again, thanks so much for helping me thru tx, post tx and so many things. I truly hope all on tx are getting thru it and please know.....it DOES end. It is worth it, for me and many and HANG IN THERE! I am 'back', not as much but I will be checking my PM's more, etc. so any Geno 2's I can help, as per my odd tx, reducing, hard time, please feel free to ask. Goes for all, just more input for Geno 2's, having BEEN :) one.

On to Halloween decorating and life!

My best to everyone here, hugs & love LL

I think the joy of being able to breath with out fear any more has to be the best feeling in the world,     To see life again,  the sun the wind,  

I know how close you and your sister are,  you both are in my prayers,  You know I love you girl, so no worries ok?  here if you need me!  

MUAHHHHHHHHH

Great that you're feeling human again!  I keep looking at every bike to see if you're on it!  I'm quite lucky, today i"m 2 months post tx and I'm in Key Largo scuba diving - talk about feeling better!!!  Driving down here from central FL yesterday I saw a ton of bikes - keep looking for ya.

So sad for your sister, hope they are keeping her comfortable.  What a horror.  For me (on that front) I see the surgeon next week - til now all tests (retests) have been clear -but be on the lookout for a pm in a couple of days.  So far so good.

Glad to know that this post tx nightmare does burn itself out at some point - mine is still flaming away at 3 months post. (RA to the max - neuropathy - IBS etc). But better then that first post month like with you.

So sorry about your sis - wow I am so close to mine and her to me - she is always there for me (flew up constantly to take care of me during tx - she lives about 8 hrs away - frisco area). I know how your heart must feel.

I too have not posted much...but am spending more time with my horses - so that's good....Actually was in our little Western days parade today.

Take care and thanks for the updates fellow 2ber

Hugs,

Good to hear from you expecially when the last news wasn't so good.  I'm glad to see there is life after treatment.  I was going to forward you a note from another Florida geno 2 who claimed that it took him much longer to recover than he had expected but that he was feeling better now than he had in ages.

I hope that you will only get better and better until you think you're 30 again.  ; )

It's great to hear another success story.  It couldn't have happened to a nicer lady.

Now...... push away from the computer and get your halloween lights put up.  
Get your spook on.

best,
Willy
