to explain my lack of posting.. just incase anyone happened to notice...

Just like everyone else.. I post in spurts.. sometimes spending more time posting than lurking.. and visa versa. Lately tho, since the first of the year especially, I have found my posting to become even less and less regular often lurking for days at a time.

Recently I read a thread (the originator of the thread escapes me at the moment, tho it doesn't really matter) where someone took issue with there being an over-abundance of "downer" threads. Anyway, it was that thread that made me reluctant to post about what has kept me quiet and away.....

My absence (or more appropriately, my silence) has been caused by an event that has caused me to completely reevaluate many aspects of my life....

On New Years Eve, I suffered what the doctors believe to be a MILD stroke (TIA). (Yes, I know that at age 33 I am damn young to be having a stroke) Fortunately, it did not leave me with any permanent problems and altho the doctors are clueless as to what caused it , they have me on medication in hopes that it won't happen again.

This event, as scarey as it was, has caused me to re-evalute many things in my life. Not only does it make me more concerned for my son's future as well as my own, but the inner core of me that has been missing companionship seems to be screaming. The strangest part of that is that over the past month I had been getting to know a gentleman that lives about 5 hours away and knowing that he was very eager to meet... I turned him down... LOL.. I am crazy. LOL... oh well..

Anyway.. I just wanted to explain my absence.. and to thank the few of you who have been helping me along the way...

HUGS

Sorry to hear about your condition. My prayers are with you and all my good energy is being sent to you to help fight the problem. All my best to you Jenna and a big hug goes out to you.

Jenna, I'm so happy that you seem to have come thru your ordeal with no permanent damage. I wish I would have known sooner, and I know Murphy will feel the same way. If there's anything either of us can do, PLEASE don't hesitate to let us know! We're only minutes away, y'know!!

So glad that you have no lasting ill affects physically from your ordeal......I wondered where you were!

I have had three such attacks in my life...scares the hell out of you doesn't it......once with my first pregnancy and once with my second....third time was just thrown in by fate on my 40th birthday. Take care and try not to worry. Easier said than done I know....but stress is not good either!

So glad you felt a need to explain your absence Jenna. Yes, I was missing you and wondering! No matter what the other thread might have seemed to be saying, you do know you (and everyone) can always share and care here. That's what families are for.....good times and bad! Great news that you have no permanent damage from your ordeal! I hope you are feeling both physically and mentally better now........especially mentally when you read that all your friends are here for you anytime you need us! All my best thoughts are with you! *hugs n more hugs*

What the??? You're only telling us NOW!!!!!
Jenna - don't worry about that post..... you're part of the Pixies family and many of us care very deeply for you! If somthing's up, WE WANNA KNOW ABOUT IT!!!!! If other people don't like it, they don't have to read it!

I'm so sorry to hear about your stroke! That's so scary, especially as you say at only 33! Glad you survived with no lasting effects.... that's great!

As for reprioritizing your life - good idea!! But PLEASE keep Pixies on that list somewhere! Lol! We'd hate to lose you!

And good luck with the companionship search.... relax, it will happen! You're a fantastic person and I have absolutely no doubt that you'll spend many years of bliss with someone you love and who loves you!

Best wishes,
CasperTG
