Beloved members of WinterClan,[/i]
I'm ashamed that I have to come crawling back to the place I call home. I cry at the fact I'm on my knees, begging you all to forgive me and try to make some room in your hearts for me. Please, just hear me out. You don't have to forgive me, but just listen.
Maybe some of you know, and some of you don't. Ever since I was a baby I've suffered from a really weak immune system and extensive kidney damage due to unrinary tract infections and kidney infections. They used to be much worse when I was younger, just a couple years old, and back then I'd be in and out of Sick Kids Hospital every two weeks or so, and had one or two very near-death experiences there. However, they aren't so severe now. I stopped getting them when I was seven or eight maybe, and I didn't get them for a good while.
But, like dust in the wind, things never are forever, and I started getting a lot of UTI's and kidney infections again last year. Like I said, they aren't as bad as when I was little, but definately not insignificant either. Last year and the year before, both times in November, I nearly went to the hospital due to severe infections and gastro-intestinal viruses. This past December I had e.Coli and almost broke my ankle, and I've just been really sick since the fall. It's pretty much killed my immune system, so the pattern is whenever I get either a UTI or kidney infection, it weakens my immune system, and then when it passes I stay just sick, like with a flu or stomach virus or something, for maybe a month. When the flu-like thing is gone, then the UTI's or whatever start up again, and it's a vicious circle of constant sickness.
I'm also at a new and very different (in the best way possible) school, starting my first year of high sschool, and I'm stilling getting used to everything. The work load's been a little crazy this January.
I'm also getting a lot of tests and catch-up's done at Sick Kids now that I'm almost 15 so I've been having to go down and get a lot of ultrasounds and VCUG's and stuff.
Well, to put things plainly, I'm having one helluva year. I know I'm not the only one that has problems or complications in their lives. And I admire and respect you all for finding time to come here, to home, and share your worlds with everyone else's. I didn't have the time before, but I'm making it now, and please, try and forgive me. I've missed you all and this site and my wonderful characters: Crimson and Dead and Soul and Lynxy.
I will send a former apology to the admins right after homework. Please, if there is anything I can help with, let me know. If there is anything specific that you need me to start posting in or catch up on, please let me know and I'll get right to it.
I love you guys so much.
WinterClans, as well as all of you dedicated members, are my life, my big happy family. You have no idea how wonderful it is to be home.
Thanks so much guys!
Love always
Crim.
PS: I will be in South America from March 6th - 21st, in Suriname, in the amazon rainforest, so I will not be on during that time. Thank you.[/blockquote][/color]
