Dear All, as many of you know .. I am battling three bacteria .. PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA, KLEBSIELLA and SERRATIA   .  Right now I am not doing well with the enemy! I  am quite ill.  I contacted Colleen and requested a Leave of Absence as your Volunteer Mentor until I regain some strength. I ask that you ALL take loving care with each other .. support each other as I know you will .. BUT ESPECIALLY watch for Newcomers and help them as YOU have been helped.  You know so well how scary those beginning steps are .. support them along that journey .. they SO need it!  REMEMBER .. you ONLY need to be ONE baby step ahead of a Newcomer to support them!  DO IT! You will note @windwalker Terri with but 44% lung capacity tries her VERY best to always jump in to help me any time I'm not doing well .. can any of us do less? Support each other .. please do!

You needn't send me caring and hug posts .. truthfully I am not going to be on Connect till I feel better  .. I am going to concentrate on rest and regaining some energy.  BUT I will FEEL your positive energy and hugs .. every single one of them!  Till I am better .. I am sending EACH of you a Big Hug!  Katherine
