For those of you who have known me for a while, you know what is happening. However for those who don't I'll explain briefly. I have been ill for a very long time. I have been fighting cancer and a myriad of other illnesses for many moons now. However, in a couple of days I am being admitted into hospital to have the problems removed. It will not be an easy surgical procedure, and as such the risks are quite high... but with godswill I will return. I shall be in hospital for a minimum of 2 weeks, but more than likely 3-4 weeks and then daily outpatient treatments to ensure that there is no illness left. I want to thank everyone that I have met through out my membership here....new and old friends alike, you have all had a wonderful impact on me. I thank you. For sharing your thoughts, your art, your friendship, your hugs.... I thank you. A couple of special thank yous..in no particular order : Wizzard... 1433.
