the colours of winter
Hi there Flickr friends!
I want to say hello to you all and to thank you for your thoughts and prayers during my recent illness. I came home from the hospital on Friday after spending ten days there and I am happy to say that I am on the mend. I was tired at first but now that I am able to actually eat solid food I am beginning to feel sooo much better. I lost quite a bit of weight while I was on the IV. My recovery is only part way done. Last week I had a procedure done to remove about 7 or 8 gallstones trapped in my bile duct. This is what was causing the pancreatitis. Now that it is fixed I am home and will be awaiting the final round of treatment which is surgery to remove my gallbladder. This is supposed to happen in about a month. Due to these set backs, I have decided to stop my 365. As much as I tried to carry on while in the hospital I found it too much to do once I got home and will get behind again with the next surgery. So, as much as I am not pleased with myself for quitting, I am relieved that the daily pressure of it is gone. Maybe next year, right? Don't worry, I will still be here regularly, as much as I can anyways. I truly love and appreciate this community and my friends here so I can't go long without a Flickr fix,
Thanks again everyone, you are the best!

**We are getting dumped on with more snow. Ugh! As much as it makes for nice photos, I would say that I am officially done with it for this year. :)
