I know its been a while...

Hello Sweet Community

I hope you are all cozy and staying healthy.

I’m sorry I haven’t written since I have returned from NYC. While I was there I got the flu and have been flat on my back with that and really really bad stomach cramps.

So much so that I was admitted to the hospital on Monday and then we released on Wed evening.

They wanted to do a scope and take a biopsy of my belly but when I was in the hospital I had no stomach pain or diarrhea. Strange.

But of course yesterday and today it is all back.

I’ve been given some meds that seem to be working and was able to eat some soup, my first meal since Thursday morning.

They are still going to do a scope but because of the holidays and because I am not in the hospital it may take 5 weeks.

Lord, I hope I am feeling better by then.

I was given firm and stern advice from doc Martin that this winter is crucial for me. It is flu season and I am better off being some what of a hermit. No crowds, no trips, no being anywhere at peak hours. So I am going to follow that advice and be like a bear and hibernate and sleep a lot, eat well when I can and keep myself safe.

It’s disappointing but I want to care for my body and the last few months starting with Light the Night, I just took on too much.

I know now how fragile I am. This includes not being in stressful situations and to really slow down and ask for help. Which I am doing.

Noah has one last trip and will be away from Saturday to next Friday so we have people lined up to bring food and check in on me.

OK now for NYC

It was amazing to meet Christine. She is such a wonder sweet caring kick- ass person. She has a very large family and hangs out with her cousins and I think that is really cool.

We did meet on stage which was surreal and then left and went to this reception room to talk. Then her and her mom and Aunt met Noah and I at our hotel and we talked more and had dinner.
It was wonderful.

Here are some more pics from our trip:

I’m going to lie back down but I just wanted to send out an email to let you all know what is going on.

Big love and deep gratitude.

Namaste
