Hello my friends,

I have not posted in a long time but I have kept you all in my thoughts and prayers.

August was a really tough month for me with half of it spent in ICU. After feeling pretty darn good for most of the summer the perfect storm hit with ruthless force on the night of August 2nd. It started with a minor heart attack soon followed by sepsis, Diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe ischemic colitis. I was released 16 days later and put on bed rest at home. I am slowly getting better but I am not eating well and have lost 48 pounds since being in the hospital.

My doc almost put me back in the hospital this morning but begged her to let me continue home care with the nurse coming to my homeevery other day to give me fluids and antibiotic through an IV. All this craziness is the main reason for me being MIA.

I miss you and keep all of you on my mind and in my heart. Those of you in the path of Irma in my prayers and sending all those struggling with health issues positive and healing thoughts and vibes.

Please take care and stay safe. *Group Hugs*

PS.....Cake stay cool as we both know what severe heat does to us Lupies!!!
