One Year On dA
1 min read
Today is my one-year anniversary! 
It's a lot of fun for me to check out dA whenever I can.
Thank you to each of you...I think you're wonderful!
I enjoy the conversations, seeing amazing art and photos, being able to share mine and the opportunities to learn.

Hi Everyone. 
Some of you may not want to know the info below, but if you're interested in knowing what's been going on with me, I thought I would tell you. If you write to me, I will try to write to you later, but I'm mainly concentrating on getting healthier, so will just say a big thank you to each of you right here for now.
I think my dA friends are wonderful and I appreciate your support and help very much! 
I'm so happy and grateful to be home and feeling more improved in my health everyday! I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and 6 days...had septicemia (infection throughout my body) complicated by my lupus and blood abnormalities. (I've had lupus for many years, the blood problems since Jan 08). I had 2 blood transfusions and surgery to remove an abcessed lymph node under my arm. My hematologist (treats blood problems) in Regina (nearby larger city) gave me good news yesterday that he doesn't think I have lymphoma, but my docs still don't know what is wrong with me. My husband brought me home last night, then I had to go back to Regina this morning for my appointment with my rheumatologist (treats lupus). The docs had been telling me my health problems weren't lupus, but now they are considering it could be lupus. I have had my prednisone (steroid) increased and a more potent immunosuppressive drug was added (used for treating cancer, but it's for lupus not cancer). I will go back in 2 weeks, to see if my tests are better.
All the best to each one of you...keep up your terrific art and photos...I will be watching when I can.

I haven't been around dA because I have been in the hospital for most of May and just have arrived home this evening. I'll write more when I have a bit more energy.

I'm taking a little break from the overwhelming stuff going on in my actual life by spending some time at dA. I appreciate all the kind people here...you uplift me!
It still looks quite a bit like winter here in SK, but it's starting to warm up. We've had some melting and I'm quite intrigued by all the beautiful ice formations. I have wanted to take a few photos lately, but haven't had time till today. So, I was outside enjoying the fresh air and clicking away. I really needed to do this.
