I saw the pic of your car, how awful! I hope your knee heals up quickly and well, and that your car gets fixed perfectly with no hassle.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma I will send along my prayers for you and your family.

I just wanted to give everyone an update on Danielle and my mom. Danielle is doing so much better with her knee. I suggested she have a follow up with a Orthopedic specialist to make sure that everything is fine. My mom (Danielle's grandma) is one tough cookie. She is back in the nursing home and doing as well as can be expected. Thank you so much to all of you for the prayers and support.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Danielle's Grandma (my mom) passed away on January 26th. She will be so missed for sure. she lived next door to us for 22 years before going into the nursing home so we saw her every day.

Danielle also went to an orthopedic doc and has to do some physical therapy for her knee to strengthen it.

Hopefully very shortly she will be back on the DIS.

Hi everyone. Remember me? I'm not so sure I even remember myself anymore.

This is a brief brief update for you guys. But I'm here first and foremost to tell you that I am going to be back on the DIS in the very near future. I'm actually leaving for Italy very soon (this Friday) and I'll be back on the 24th. After that, I will be back in full force. First, I wanted to let you know what's been going on.

As you are well aware, my Grandma did pass away at the end of January. It's been a tough time, but I appreciate everyone's well wishes during that difficult time.

We had a lot to struggle through with that, and at the same time, I had a non-stop back and forth regarding my car. Yup, that. Remember the accident I had on 12/26/12? Yup. Just got my car back like days ago. It's been endless.

I have also been going to physical therapy to get my strength back in my knee. Upon impact, my knee hit the dashboard and it caused some damage / pain. I've been going to therapy to get that in order.

On top of all of that, as if I didn't seem sad enough or my life didn't seem cursed enough.....my boyfriend broke up with me in the midst of all this.

This was one of the hardest blows for me. We had such an amazing thing going, and honestly it hit me out of left field. And what was it for? Oh, yeah. His ex is moving here. And he's confused.



To which I say, he shouldn't be confused about anything. Because I'm clearly AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, that's my life in a nutshell right now. Stressful. But I need my DIS friends back and I'm so sorry for my absence. I'm ready to talk about my trips, what's coming up, and most importantly, to reconnect with all of you my friends.

Your back!!!!!!! So sorry to hear about your accident and your car! But I am glad you are still around. I miss all your updates!

 

[zanzibar138]

That really sux! I'm so sorry to hear about all the hard times you've been having

Sounds like your knee and car are finally on the mend, and with a trip to Italy just around the corner, things are looking up

We all understand that life sometimes gets in the way of the DIS, and it's important to have your priorities straight. Have a great time in Italy, and I can't wait to hear all about it when you're ready

 

[CarolynK]

You've had a rough start to the year! Sorry to hear that.
Where are you going in Italy? I'm currently researching our trip to Italy and Paris in June. Trip planning definitely can be therapeutic! I hope you have a wonderful time!

 

[shan23877]

Danielle I am so sorry. You've really been through the ringer this year.

Men suck. You ARE AMAZING! Don't forget that.

Enjoy your trip!

 

[AvasMommy526]

I am following along on all of your reports so I'm gonna comment on this one cause it popped up in my email first

Glad to have you back, I am very sorry for this difficult period for you and your family.... I can only say that without rain, there wouldn't be flowers.....corny? Yes. True? Also yes! I wish the best time on your vacation, I mean ITALY!! Ahhhhhhh I cannot wait to hear about that trip! : grouphug:

Oh and for good measure..... His LOSS!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Danielle,

So sorry about your not so hot year to date-honestly it sounds pretty cra*py... & I'm really sorry for the loss of your grandmother...

Cars and Men can both suck (not necessarily in that order...)



Spring begins soon... & I believe that things can only get better...

I've missed your updates... you have an awesome & somewhat irreverent sense of humor... let that help you get through what you can...

Hey I'm going to be in Italy too... (mostly Rome leaving Italy... leaving Sunday...I hope you do somekind of TR... I'd love to see what you do... I'm going to put mine in my PTR for our July Dis trip...)

 

[teekathepony]

You, my dear, are due for some serious good luck. I sincerely hope the winds change for you. Have an amazing time in Italy!!

 

[IheartDDuck]

Hi everyone,
So I wanted to check to see if you all want me to continue this TR. I'm down with that if you are. It's going to be a long ride, because it was a long trip. Just say the word, and I'll continue.

Things have evened out for me and I'm making time and getting caught up on the DIS. So, just let me know!
