I have just written an update on my health situation (see this post for background info) twice now, and both times I lost the post. It is now 11:23 AM and I started about an hour ago. I'm sitting here in pain and I just want to get this update done. The first post was a rather lengthy and detailed update on my situation. Pages and pages of words. The second post was bullet points that were pretty detailed, but still, bullet points. I was frustrated and did not want to retype the first post all over again. And then I lost the second post. So now, I'm writing this on Wordpad. And it is not going to be very detailed and it'll probably come off as frustrated and a bit short and angry. I'm sorry about that.
* First, thank you all so much. I wrote that post just to inform a few friends about my situation so they'd know why I haven't been participating recently and why I've had problems returning emails. Then I got 800 tips on the tip jar and 400 comments, nothing but total support and empathy for my situation. I wasn't expecting that - I mean I know this community is great, you all helped me before to get a computer so I can continue blogging (and I'll never stop being grateful for this - writing and music are the two things keeping me sane and all my music is on my computer. I wouldn't have it without this place) - I just didn't expect the numbers to be so damn high. There's 1,300 people in the town where I live. So, it's pretty much comparable to almost my entire town caring about what I'm going through.
