Mon-Thursday of last week, I had the MUA procedures on my back. I was actually feeling better then I have in 6 years until friday morning... OWIEE!!

I go in this wed for a followup with my pain management doc, and the specialist that did the MUA's wants me to go to PT for 6 weeks and then see me in late April.

So much is going on with Nick in scouting and Odyessy of the Mind (his team is going to State!)

That I have not done much SCA, sorry kiddos are first. However I miss my friends please shoot me a note!

So GV made a post that hit home with me.. and I decided to post my comment to her on here also..

GV.. I know what you mean about the people and how negitive it has gotten. This Aug was my 26th year.

Due to my health I haven't gotten to do much this year because no one cares enough to call and ask

"hey do you want to go to this we can take you"  ( I couldn't drive for 5 months because of the leg)

When I was in the hospital with ovarian cancer, and had to have a total hysto at 29.. ( 9 days before my 30th birthday)

No one bothered to care.. Then on eyear later when I was diagnoised with Lupus.. I was told by our seneschal I made up Lupus!!!

I have worked my A** off for the local groups here for many many moons.. Back when I joined the SCA there wasn't MOC's.. The kids particapated with the Adults.. and we worked.. Heck I remeber 20th year .. Me and my best friend at the time who had also been in forever.. worked a 36 hours rotaing shift of walking the camps & were first on the seen of a food merchant booth on fire!.

Back then people cared.. people didn't let people burn out.. people noticed people and before you needed help you had it.

I just had a conversation with a Pelican who I highly respect and honor.. about the same thing you just commented on.. Do I want to stay around and play anymore..

I love the people I love.. however there are a select local few who ruin the game for many people kingdom wide. They are out to make themself a peer just to think that they have some sort of power.. they will bad mouth whoever they can, and take credit for everything they can.. They will bold face lie about anything and everything.. and that is not the SCA I feel in love with..

Between my family I am the only one that is still in.. my sister left  in 1988, my mom attends once in a blue moon in the East kingdom.. but stopped playing back in 1991.

I still love the history, and whati can contribute.. even though I can't give as much of myself as I once Could.. as I have learned my health can not handle that go go go go style anymore.  and because I can't do that I have been told flat out that I am not doing my part!!!!

So again I don't know if I will come back or not... the people I consider friends, have chosen this year while I have been out.. not to contact me .. not to check on me.. nothing.. Now if I call them they will talk.. or listen.. but I have to do the contacting.. So does that mean they are really friends or just people who I know...

Hugs
