School, another death in the family, and a new friend (maybe more on that later) have kept me away from this blog for longer than I had intended to stay away.
I was starting to recover from the devastating loss of my roommate, when my aunt, the one person who was there for me when my roommate passed away, had a massive stroke on Christmas Eve. She passed away on January 7th. In the midst of my grief, a friend I met on the internet reached out to me, and has helped me keep my sanity. His friendship is one of the things getting me through these rough times.
School has started again, which is also helping me to move forward, though it is still difficult for me to truly concentrate on my classes.
The good news is that I have lost the weight I had gained over the holidays - down to 249 now, and my blood pressure was 148/101 this afternoon. Energy is still way up, and I am having almost no trouble with my knees now. Seems like the D.E. is back to working again.
Well, that's all I have time for right now. I will hopefully get back to posting regularly again soon.
Hi - I just ran across your blog today, and wanted to say thank you for keeping it. As with you, everything I've found on DE has been what DE sellers were saying, and so I appreciate your personal account of experiences on and off DE.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to tell you that I honor you for your strength over the past year. It sounds like you've been on an incredibly hard journey, and for what it's worth, a stranger out there is sending you heartfelt good wishes.
With love,

I am so sorry for your loss. I really appreciate you sharing your story and your experience with D.E. After reading your experience I have purchased some D.E. and will be starting out taking a small amount in water this week.
ReplyDeletePlease continue to let us know how you are doing.
I also will be sharing my D.E. with a friend who is having knee problems. I need to re-read your story to see how long it took before you noticed it helping your problems.
Take care of yourself.
I look forward to hearing more on how you are doing.
I've been following you for some time now and you haven't been posting, due to your unfortunate experiences I wanted to ask if all was ok?. I have been concerned for you! I pray all is well and you have been seeing better days!
ReplyDeleteHi, I've just today come across your blog, and read the whole of it in one go. Within just a few of your posts, I very quickly felt an affection for you. So I just wanted both to thank you for your blog, and also just to send you my best wishes and a big hug (all the way from England!) - I was shocked and saddened to read about the loss of your loved ones. I hope that you are currently well, and that life gets better (and better) for you. Thank you again, and lots of love!
