I'm still kickin'
The time has passed by both fast and slow. I am not doing great but I am hanging in there. There are no words to say how amazing you all are. I could never imagined such an outpouring of support from strangers and I am eternally grateful. I still have a place to stay right now (knock on wood) but I have been going through a lot lately and haven't been around much.

My health took a big turn for the worse and I spent the night in the emergency room the other night. I have been on mandatory bed rest and on a tremendous amount of medication that makes me pretty dazed and confused. My fever is still around 102 for the fourth day in a row but I'm staying positive. The best guess is that something viral complicated my already un-diagnosed medical problems. I can't breathe very well and have to use this machine every so often that elevates my heart rate pretty high so I have to be careful. I've spent a lot of time thinking and I think it's best to try to remain positive.

I have wanted to and am planning on opening up the store again once I am a little more in my sorts and I have a list of orders that will be going out before any new ones are accepted. I had hoped to do this a little sooner rather than later but right before I ended up in the emergency room I started bleeding unexpectedly again (this has happened a few times) and there's an unusual mass on one of my ovaries which is suspicious and I have to go have an ultrasound again to monitor it in the next week to rule out it being a tumor. :( I guess when it rains it pours.

This is one of my favorite times of year with Christmas and my birthday but it's been a little bittersweet lately but I am trying to keep a smile on my face. I have not forgotten about any of you. I just don't have the strength right now to respond to emails but I hope I will be feeling a little bit better in the coming days and can try to get back into the swing of things.

I know it's been a long wait and I thank you for your patience. I still have a stack of those orders sitting here just waiting to be worn and they will be. I'm hoping 2008 will be my best year ever.

Thank you for your support, love, and kindness. It does not go unappreciated.
