I appreciate the thoughts & prayers!

I REALLY appreciate all the thoughts & prayers everyone is sending my way. I also appreciate the words of encouragement people want to give me via phone calls. I don't want to seem ungrateful, but you may have a hard time getting through to me on the phone. I'm trying to keep the lines open so I can talk to my various doctors. I also don't do phone conversations so well. I'd rather receive prayers & thoughts and words of encouragement via email or comments here on this blog. I hope that doesn't offend anyone, but sometimes the phone is such a poor means of communication and it can also make dealing with a situation harder for me. I've got to preserve whatever control I have over myself & preserve my own peace of mind. If you have any kind of medical and/or doctor advice, feel free to contact my mom either by phone, email, Facebook, or even this blog. Otherwise, please send me emails, Facebook posts, and/or comments on this blog & accept my position! Thank you for being understanding & supportive!
