Hi folks! Heartfelt thanks so very, very much for all that have helped and wished me well. Here's a brief and positive update. I am in a much better place now, though I still need help pretty badly for the short term. But last night I slept for about 7 hours straight - the 4th night in a row I have slept for stretches of 4 1/2 or more hours. Good, restorative REM sleep! I guess I just needed a positive break from the crushing weight I have been feeling. What a world of difference it has made! I guess the mental decline I feared had become permanent and increasing is not so much after all. :)

I am also much improved physically (staph infection pretty much cured, leg down to normal size) - though I need to start back doing regular exercises and walks to build myself up more than a bit. Able to take short walks and yesterday I was able for the first time in days to drive myself to town and back and roam the aisles a bit at Wallyworld.

Still have those damned life-threatening conditions - but I think they can be addressed, just need to be able to buy some vitally important supplements (and my beloved "found dog" Buddy will soon run out of the supplements that keep his Cushing's disease under control).

I have much I want to share with my dear friends and followers - and plan to do so sooner than later. For now, I have to get really busy (without over doing it). By this time next week I hope to have lined up some temporary assistance for help with rent and utilities and help with getting my place cleaned up so I can rent out the two spare bedrooms (no guarantee on any of those - but there is a much better possibility than I was aware of). Maybe by the end of this month I will have one or two renters lined up.

I must go for now, as the clock is ticking on some calls I need to make and I have much to do on so many different things. Just gotta do one thing at a time and try to stay focused.
