Are You There, Internet? It’s Me, Meleah.

Wow.

It sure has been awhile since I’ve been able to write anything. [*blows dust off keyboard*]

I wish I could regale you with glorious tales explaining my sudden and abrupt disappearance, but sadly, that’s not the case.

Less than two weeks ago I was rushed to the hospital. I had to undergo a very painful emergency procedure, which subsequently left me in extreme agony thereafter. Even the magical powers of heavy-duty painkillers didn’t provide much relief. Quite frankly it’s still a little difficult to find a way to sit comfortably. And, I still have two more follow-up doctors appointments later this week to ensure all is healing properly.

Without going into any details, I have decided not to write about what happened publicly for several reasons.

1. It’s highly embarrassing and utterly humiliating.

[Yes, I know. Normally those kinds of stories are my specialty. But not this time.]

2. It’s pretty graphic.

[And by graphic, I really mean it’s so disgusting, that reading about it may actually cause your eyeballs to rupture.]

3. I still cannot figure out how to convey this story without making my own stomach turn.

[Seriously.]

I have shared what happened with a few of my long-time-readers, and close friends. And I am open to emailing curious minds that NEED to know. However, if you request an email from me in the comments – don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I am happy to report, that I am doing MUCH better. And even though I am not ready to start writing again, I’m confident that I can begin making my ‘Internet Rounds’ by reading and commenting on all of YOUR blogs. Because oh, how I’ve missed ya’ll!

PS: While I’ve been out of commission I celebrated another birthday. At 36 years old I am now officially closer to 40 than I am to 30. Lovely.
