Apologies

I want to extend an apology to my readers.


Over the past five months or so, I have been very infrequent in my blogs. It certainly is not because I have run out of things to discuss. No, it is because of my health.


You may or may not know that I have a second blog entitled "In My Own Words: Fighting PCKD." This blog arose out of my diagnosis in September last of advanced stage 4 Polycystic Kidney Disease. This form of kidney disease accounts for just 4% of all Renal diseases, yet is the most degenerative. Now, until I was presented with this diagnosis, I was unaware of the disease that was destroying my kidneys. I was asymptomatic; in other words, I had no obvious symptomology that might indicate I had already gone well beyond stages 1, 2 and 3.

Within two months of diagnosis, I was seeing S/S's (Signs & Symptoms) showing up on a regular basis as my body was no longer able to compensate for the advancement of the disease. It was during this time I decided to start my other blog. (Please...take some time and read it!) Due to the meds I was placed on, as well as the advancement of the disease, I was only writing in that blog on a regular basis. Meanwhile, this blog was neglected, aside from the occasional entry.

The other day I was thinking about this, as well as all the things going on in the world, and decided I to make a better effort to write on this blog regularly. So, starting with this entry, I will be writing as often as I feel up to it; hopefully one to two days per week.

Please start looking in on this blog once again. With everything that has been happening, my brain is ready to illuminate the idiocracies that are swirling around us all!

Thank You.
