I'm so sorry I haven't replied to so many of you girls who have sent prayers and well wishes my way over the past year! I've been in and out of so many doctor's offices and hospital surgeries related to my bad lower back, my six fractured metatarsals in my feet, my left knee with the torn meniscus, and now the painful four week process of applying Tolak and Fluorouacil cream and liquid drops to my face and my scalp to kill cancerous and non-cancerous cells all over by face and scalp. This is going to be an extremely long, arduous, and painful process. I'm actually starting to lose hope of ever being healthy enough again to be able to walk without pain and live without pain. I've offered up thousands of prayers to God and Jesus over the past year and I think they've heard enough of my crying and I may have worn both of them out and They are just tired of listening to me by now! Another reason why I'm giving up hope! I want to apologize to everyone who has sent me prayers and well wishes and me not responding to each and everyone of those notes like I used to in the past. I feel really guilty about not answering them and not calling those of you who have even offered up your personal emails and telephone numbers to help encourage me to fight the battles I've been fighting over the past year! The battles have been long and brutal and are still with me to this day and I'm not sure how much longer I'll be willing to fight these painful battles anymore! I hope you will all understand where I'm coming from and will totally accept my apology for not getting back to each and everyone of you lovely girls out there. I'll try and post a photo of me at least once a week, like this one, just showing what I used to look like as Scarlett before all of these painful injuries took away my health. Two years ago at age 66 I was one of the healthiest people in our gym and now I haven't even visited the gym in over three months to just talk to my gym buddies - both male and female. I'm sure they've been wondering what in the heck happened to me! As long as I'm still alive, I'll try to continue to post one Scarlett photo a week here at CDH. They do bring back very fond memories of a time when I was 100% healthy. I love you all and hope you are all happy and healthy at the time of this note. I've never had to battle this much pain with these many health issues in my entire life and it's done a real number on me from the neck up to the point where I'm losing hope of ever being healthy and pain fee again. I thought at this time in my life, my wife and I would be traveling all over the world to discover so many places we haven't been but wanted to see long ago in our plans after we retired. And now, without the ability to even walk without pain, I may never ever be able to even go on another vacation right here in America, much less overseas! My God bless each and everyone of you with good health and plenty of happiness. With much love, Scarlett
