It's so good to finally see the sun through the bedroom window at home, rather than through the window of a hospital room...
Those who have followed my saga of sickness throughout the summer know I've been in and out of hospitals. The final diagnosis was " bacterial infection of the brain and spinal column (something like meningitis)".
Many thanks to everyone who sent prayers and positive thoughts my way. I really appreciate your support!
