Real life and her unfortunately worsening condition (blogged about previously), have conspired to make regular posting an impossibility for now. (Not that she was all that reliable in the posting department in the first place, as she'll be the first to tell you!)

There's really no way to imagine how difficult it must be for someone with her particular case to be coping with it all and caring for her two kiddies on her own. As her doctors describe progressively bleaker scenarios, she's always ready with a quip or two in her own brand of self-deprecating, dark humour.

Her situation quite often means she's bed-ridden for several days in a row. Or 'floor-ridden' as she joked to me once, referring to one of many weekends when she went down in the kitchen, paralysed, but out of reach of a phone and as she says, had to camp out with the cat on the kitchen floor for nearly 37 hours without help until she was discovered.

To go through this alone? I don't know how she does it. It certainly makes me appreciate how fortunate I am not being unwell and alone. She's constantly saying that there are people/friends of hers much worse off than she though and tries to maintain a sense of humour about it all.

She asks me to thank everyone for their emails of concern and support. Even though the jammies here only gets roughly 300 unique hits a day, it's the 2 dozen or so emails she receives each week from readers and friends of her blog that really make her day.

There's also a couple of blogs to thank, bloggers who listed the jammies on their 'Best Thursday 13's Ever' List a couple of weeks ago, however I've lost the links she gave me to list here. (Some pathetic secretary I am eh?). I know there were four... one of them was called Full Plate, but that's about it.

Annie reads every one of your emails and replies when she can type, or I type them for her, so if you want to write, she will definately see it.

She sends warm, squishy hugs to all.

Cheers,
