As many of you know, I have been ill this year. I just really found this thread http://www.dr1.com/forums/living/124061-where-mountain-annie.html and had a chance to ABSORB how many of you were concerned about my whereabouts and well being.
Thanks are inadequate.
How blessed I am to see that so many of you here have such big hearts that when I had not posted here or in FB for a few weeks you went inot ALERT and ALARM
My family .. of which there are not many but they have been on DEFCON 15 since April.. are so ASTONISHED at the attention that I got.
I was arrested over a traffic scam, The rental car place walked over to my apartment, contacted the super, who contacted my neighbor. From there it went to Rhode Island, to Puerto Rico, to
Las Terrenas
and my two best friends from LT came to visit me in the psych hospital in Santiago.
I am bipolar. Have been, of course, all my life but manage it pretty well.
I had been managing without any sort of medication for two years before i came here because i am not so stupid as to think that I could make this transition while dependent on medication just to function in my home life.
For three years here, I was fine. For the last four.. but most particularly since the Earthquake which SO broke my heart.
Changing Perspectives
HOW amazing that although I have only met a handful of you face to face.. I have managed to get your love and attention.
My deepest gratitude to all of you who lifted me up in prayers and concerns.
I am also now recovering from a thromboembulism in my leg.. and now a burn in my arm
I am working to get back off of medication since all of it makes me allergic to the sun << a horrible sorta interior burn which gets worse as time goes on. I was already hospitalized on IV for three days because of it.
Since I am an elder, I do not find it fitting to bemoan the fact that the body is giving out as I age.
But.. well.. it is hard to realize it when it happens all of a sudden. Suddenly my hearing is worse in the left ear where I had the squid build a nest for a week last year. No infection or anything. Just hear less. Well, suck it up Beethoven was completely deaf. And so. you need number four glasses to see your hand? Your niece is legally blind.
But to read that thread. And know that I have here . among you faceless pseudonym people.
FRIENDS
Now I am truely blessed
