HI want to thank all the beautiful SG ladies out there. You all have been amazingly luminous for me!!! You all have helped me navigate through a dark horizon and a bleak landscape. I am not only referring to the past couple of years with the pandemic, I have my own health problems aside from that. I've seen many of you tell of your struggles with mental health and it is refreshing sometimes to see that I am not the only one and I am grateful that this community doesn't judge and dismiss and condemn those that do. Chronic PTSD is no picnic. Traumatic Brain Injuries combined with PTSD and both of them compounded together sometimes seems insurmountable. You all have helped me navigate the summit. I have a host of other medical problems as well and I am currently sitting in my hospital bed with a tube and suction keeping my lung open. It collapsed randomly 2 days ago and I am waiting on a surgeon to tell me whether I need surgery to at least take part of it out. I've known this was coming for a few years and thought I would have a couple more before it got to this point. Its scary a bit and has kind've screwed with my PTSD. So tonight I've went back and found some comfort in some blogs about this. As always SG has been a comfort and just keeps showing how great a community this is. Love you all and thank you for the brightness!!!

Well I made it out of the hospital, they took the chest tube out yesterday and sent me home last night. They tell me it is only a matter of time until it happens again and when it does I won't have any choice but to have my lung removed. As it stands there are a lot of thing I will never be able to do that I have always wanted to do. Thank you all for your well wishes and thoughts. I love you all and will enjoy every bit of the time I have to spend with the SG community. You all make me believe in overcoming life's hardships in fantastically magical and mysterious ways. Keep the community going, you all mean and are so much more than what appears on the surface.
