Tough Times for E

It's Been A Ride

Hello my extended family, I hope all is well with you. I understand many of you were wondering and concerned about me in my recent absence.

All Apologies

To those who claim that apologizing makes one weak - BUG OFF! 'Tis not true nor righteous.

I owe you all an apology for not letting you know what was going on when I dropped of the face of WA (and the rest of) Earth. I'm deeply sorry.

On With It Then

No tale is a good tale unless you get the real dirt so here goes ...

Some of you may already know that last year (in February) I was in an automobile accident in which my car was struck by an 18 wheeler. As a result I had my neck rebuilt in July, cadaver graft, plate and screws.

It's been a long painful healing process (pretend Kyle is saying 'process' as it sounds way better with his accent than it does with mine) and I've had some complications or side effects of the surgery.

Those side effects became debilitating just after Christmas and as much as I fought and struggled I just couldn't function in much capacity other than going to physical therapy.

I know it's not a glamorous story and I know I could have and should have dropped you all a line, a quick blog, to let you know why I went from several dozen posts a day to none. I know that now though I could not comprehend that then - not an excuse.

You're All Great People!

I don't know what I'd do without you. I did see some blogs and posts concerning my whereabouts and genuine concern from many of you, thank you. Again, I am sorry to have put you through this.

I'm Not OK

Speaking in lyrical terms, as MCR wrote, I'm Not OK. And yes I am not OK yet. I do have a ways to go but I will be sure to keep you informed (ahead of time this time).

I do ask for your patience as I comb through the hundreds of notifications I have to follow up on though I did respond to my PM's.

Until ...

ROCK ON!
