Update from Trish

[Loresinger]

Lots of things to share, most of them health related. Paul is not doing well at all. He is slowly slipping into dementia and will have to be moved soon to a safer floor. We do what we can to engage him, but this was inevitable.

I ended up in the ICU un October with septic shock. My colon and gall-bladder are now gone. The recovery is going to be slow and I am desperately trying to recoup some work and a new client to keep ahead of the bills

The good news is that Jeremy is marrying in December of this year. Great gal. They have a solid future.

There aren't many people who come here any more. So it's time again for me to ask if this space should remain. Just let me know your feelings.

Trust you are all well and having a good start to your year

I'm so sorry, Trish, and glad you survived. Sepsis is no joke.

Sorry about Paul, too. But very glad that Jeremy has, from the sound of it, finally gotten his shit together.

For the space to remain... I think it should be your choice? It sounds like you need a lot more support now, and I'm not sure it's fair to you to ask you to maintain this board (even the bare minimum, even if we provide the money for the host). What do you think?

I will agree with lady_*nix, you should decide what is best for you and your family. We appreciate all you've done to keep the lights on, so to speak, and I will miss it when they finally turn off, but that's certainly not as important as your health and that of your family.

Please extend my congratulations to Jeremy, I'm happy that he's happy. Though it's crazy to think of him all grown up!
