Why I Am A New Member
To the Members, Kyle and Carson,
I cancelled my membership with Wealthy Affiliate on Sunday, August 9th 2015. I would like you to know why I suddenly cancelled my membership.
As you probably know by my bio, I am 82 years old and I am a healthy person, however I do have macular degeneration in both eyes. 8 years ago, I began monthly injections in my left eye. Then 3 years ago, my right eye was diagnosed with the dry type of macular, injections do not work, but it is a much slower to become completely blind.
On Friday, August 7th, my left eye was deteriorating quickly and I hit the panic button. Thinking ahead, I decided to stop all of my payments that weren't absolutely necessary and concentrate on moving to California to be near my family there.
These payments included Wealthy Affiliate.
I did have another injection yesterday (Monday, August 10th) and we will see what the results will be. But I think I should spend my time on getting ready to move and taking care of my eyes.
Since I was not allowed back in, my question was this. What happens to the people who were following me and is it possible I could rejoin Wealthy Affilaite as a free member until I can again become premium some time down the road. Also I wondered what happens to my websites?
This morning, Tuesday, August 11th, I opened 2 emails from members announcing that they were following me. I got another email from a member who left me a private message. There was no way I could get in. I also had received an email from Kyle with renewal information.
In frustration, I decided to renew my membership, however, it doesn't look like I just continue as usual, it looks like I AM a NEW Premium member. So I will deal with it.
Thank you, Vel Carlson

Thank you Wendy, things are going pretty smooth right now, knock on wood! My eyes are doing better. Much success to you as well, Vel
Vel, you sound like a resilient person. I am sure once you settle down in California your system can be set up to make things easier for you. Continue to let us know how you are doing.
Thank you Helen, I agree with you in regard getting moved and settled first and that is what I am concentrating on now. I certainly will keep in touch. Sincerely, Vel
Thank you for your kind words. I will have this month to do some serious thinking about what to do. My best to you, Vel
I'm not sure what happened Vel but I'm still following you so it looks like you've kept your followers. And your profile page says you joined on July 10, 2013 so you've been here for over 2 years. Anyway, I'm glad you're still with us and I wish you the best of health. ~Marion

Bless your heart Vel. I am with you on your journey , and I just spoke with a neighbor just yesterday and she told me what was happening with her eyes and it can be very frustrating. I am sure Cal and Kyle will work with you in a special way. They are very nice people. I am glad that you are back, and I am a follower of yours. You take care of your self and stay in touch.
