Taeylor, just hang in there and do not give up hope.  I have had back surgery three times in the past.  Best of luck to you and hoping that your health takes a big turn for the better.

Wow Taeylor, I always enjoy reading your comments because you seem so honest in your convictions.  I feel the same way about DS.  I just love this gothic , romantic story.  I have had to put it away though for a few weeks because it was consuming me in the summer when I'd watch 10 episodes a day.  Now I'm back to teaching and can't dedicate that amount of time to watching it.  I love DS I think because it helps me escape from routine stuff.  Does that make any sense?  In any case, I do hope you are on some road to recovery and that any pain you feel is minimized through proper medical help.  (Julia..where are you?) Long Live DS!!

Welcome, MM#7!  I hope you're on the mend from your surgeries.

If I may ask, are you by any chance one of the studio kids in Helen Samaras' "Fangs For the Memories"?

I also have a request, since it can be difficult to read... Could you please not type in all caps?  Thanks!

Welcome mm#7.   Sorry to hear about the back nightmare.   I think many of us here have our own particular devastating medical phenomena (including me), and I hope you can find support here.

Thank you so much MM # 7.  I hate to hear that you are having so many problems.   I do try to keep my back off my mind.  I have learned to as it's pretty much there everday, live with.  However, DS and this board can be a great distraction and lots of other art I enjoy.  The worst times are when you get in a cycle and it will not quit hurting no matter if you heat it, freeze it, or take medications.  My resolve this year was to be more positive and I am really trying. WELCOME to our party!!  [128]

I am so sorry to hear about the travails you are experiencing!  I hate that you had to endure such a horrible fall and in return go through so many surgeries.  YOWZA!  I  am sure that you will feel better in the days to come or I surley hope so. 

I would love to see that book that Helen put together.  I always enjoyed anything she did when Fandom fanzines were booming. I did a zine as they were sorti off going out of style but it was One of the most enjoyable things I  have done thus far in my life. 

It is so cool that you went to the studio.  Did you ever meet Grayson?  She is my girl! :)  Thanks again for the kind words. It may me smile!

Again thanks and get better!
