I have added a gallery of pics with caption timelines so you can read my story in chronological order. The gallery can be found on my PICS page. I have very few loose ends left to tie up - but raising the funds to get me home is the biggest. I really need to find out what this tumor/growth is and have it treated. When it swells (as it is doing now) it causes intense pain in my back and in my leg.
I am trying to raise enough money to pay for another week's worth of rent because I am not feeling well. Nadja's passing was very hard on me physically as well as emotionally and moving into a very crowded, loud and unsanitary environment is going to add more stress.
The place I am going to when I do get back to Chicago is affiliated with a very good hospital, and I will be able to determine if there is or is not a malignancy involved. I hope not! I've said it before - I'm not a doctor, but given the symptoms and the level of pain this causes, I am pretty sure they are going to want to at least surgically remove my uterus.
I really hope that I will be able to return to a normal activity level after that happens. I may not be ready to have another dog yet - but I would like to be able to resume volunteer work for homeless furbabies. That was, is and always will be a passion of mine.

I also welcome people who simply want to 'stop by'. I love meeting new people and making new friends. I will definitely continue posting with updates though I may change the title to ESCAPED EXIT 16!
