I have not fallen off the planet.  I know you are wondering what has happened…LIFE has happened.  I am better and my children’s schedules have picked up because it is spring.  I am excited to report that the doctor said I don’t have to return to her until July!  My shots are finished!  The only thing medical I have coming up is a bladder test…to try to find out why I keep having these infections and to see if my bladder needs “retraining.”  I didn’t even know that was possible!  I will have this test over spring break and we will see what the result is.  The doctor did not seem to think I need surgery.  My bladder is in the right place and has not dropped but she wants this test anyway just to get a clearer picture of what is going on.  I am relieved to have most of the medical behind me…now the goal is to make it to the five year mark with no reocurrance.  As you can tell my writing time has been cut down considerably because my life is picking up…and I am back in graduate school with a paper due every week.  I have enjoyed this blog and it has pushed me to write daily.  I will continue it…though maybe not quite everyday.  I am still going to write a book and I will post some of what I am working on here first for your comments and feedback.  I am grateful for all your prayers and would love to continue to recieve them as I walk through these next recovery stages.  You are all such blessings to me I am indeed a blessed woman!
