Hi everyone,

I only saw this now, sorry for not replying sooner.

I have got a lot going on in my life at the moment - some good, most bad.

As some of you know I have been having some health issues recently - mainly depressions, but also thyroid and hormone problems, as well as my first mamogram.

I haven't really felt like posting much - it's difficult to remain positive and cheerful, and I don't want to bring anyone else down.

My mamogram results were inconclusive, so I will be having an ultrasound in the next couple of weeks. (I need to go back to South Africa to sort out residence permits etc for here - has to be done in my home country), so I will be having the mamogram done there as well.

I'll try to stay in touch, but internet access where I will be staying is limited, and also offers no privacy, so I may not be online much.

Also (and I have been REALLY hesitant to post about this), my daughters are back in South Africa with my ex-husband. (It is the best decision for them at this point, and was NOT taken lightly. PLEASE don't judge me on this issue at the moment - I could really not handle it). Of course this has added to my depression, as I am really homesick for South Africa and am missing the girls so much.

I MAY have a job lined up (I have a 2nd interview tomorrow), but I am not sure if they will hold the position open for me until December (After 10 months of looking this is the closest I have gotten to finding something).

Words cannot express how much you all mean to me - and how much all your messages of support, and your prayers mean too!

I am not sure how much access I will have between now and the beginning of December, but I will try to stay in touch.

Thanks again everyone,


(((HUGS)))
