Why a Blog?

When I realized I was going to be here for a while, cut off from the outside world, I was grateful to find out that I would have access to the Internet. I may not know what is going on outside the door of this room, but I can still keep in touch with the world outside.

I also knew that as we began to notify friends and family of our circumstances, there would be many people who would want to know how things are going. I didn't want to use a public forum, like Facebook. I also didn't want to worry that I might not have the energy to answer everyone's phone calls and e-mails in a timely manner. So, I thought the best solution was a private blog, where people can check in for updates, if they want. I can also use this as an outlet to write about my experiences.

  1. I appreciate any comments, updates, feelings, rants, etc. you are willing to share. It is difficult for those of us who are far away but want to help, so use this blog for everything and anything. We are here to listen and be supportive.
    Love to everyone.
