WHERE IN THE WORLD IS WALDO-KAT?

Just a quick note to let you know that I’m still alive and kickin’.

A while ago, I developed a tear in the rotator cuff in my right shoulder, which hasn’t responded to cortisone injections or physical therapy. Unfortunately, my pain med tolerance is so high, there isn’t a drug made that has any more effect than a sugar pill, so the pain is excruciating. Worst of all, the injury is causing flare-ups of my Hereditary Angio Edema (HAE) and, in return, the HAE is causing increased inflammation in the shoulder. A nice little circle of misery accompanied by muscle spasms and knots that last for days. These fun little torture devices run from my wrist to my shoulder, and up my neck and across my chest, which really aggravates my medi-port, and triggers HAE attacks.

Typing only aggravates the whole situation, so I’ve only been on the net to pay my bills. I haven’t even been answering my regular email. However, I got a call last night from Pink, and I know a lot of other people are wondering why I seem to have dropped off the planet too, so I thought I’d better update everyone on my situation. My spirits are very low and I’m struggling with depression, but this is so common in my life that I don’t want anyone to worry about it. I’ve lived with HAE all my life and I know what to expect – this may last a long while, but it won’t last forever.

I’ve been using every witchy trick and spell I have at my disposal, and I’m sure I would be a whole lot worse without the help and intervention of the Goddess, the God and my ever faithful faeries, but if you would like to send me your own healing magic or prayers, I would consider myself to be very blessed indeed.
