OK, I may not be a scary ghostlike poltergeist however I can tell you that the “somewhat normal Mel” is BACK!  I couldn’t be happier!

If you haven’t had a chance to read my last few posts, I have been dealing with a very significant amount of fatigue.  It has been a long last few months of feeling very much not like myself.  I tried to explain it to one of my friends at work and the only thing that I could come up with was I felt like I was wrapped in a wet, heavy blanket.  I felt as if I was in a consistent fog that I could not get out of.

I have been on the new med for about four weeks.  I cannot express into words the absolute amazing feeling to feel like I am living again.  I am not only here physically, I am here mentally, emotionally and most important simply happy to be here and alive.

I would like to take a moment and thank those wonderful people that have supported me through this time.  My team, co-workers and most importantly Jim.  I have had a tough time and you have all been there with understanding and compassion.  I could not get through this without you!

You may have noticed that I have transferred all of my blog from Caring Bridge to here.  I had a fair amount of people having issues logging into the Caring Bridge site.  This site does not require a log in and I think will allow me to do more writing than just what is around my health.  The process of moving all of my blog caused me to relive a lot of my journey and see the amazing outpouring of love and support from all of you.  I was humbled by it all again these last few days.  Thank you.  I would not be the person I am today without all of you being my support system.

I would again like to ask for a favor.  I have made a new friend recently that is going to be having her stomach surgery very soon.  I asked you to pray for her recently.   Even though I have not met this wonderful lady, I absolutely consider her a friend.  All of the fear that surrounds this surgery is weighing heavily on her mind.  I know that you all would take a moment and say a prayer for this beautiful and strong woman that is battling right now.  Sending calming and strength her way.

Again, thank you for your support.  I feel so happy to be “Mel” again and am ready to continue to take on the world.  Watch out! 🙂
