Annie, I am going to look at this as your hiatus - without the possibility of 'goodbye'. We all need to pull our wings in and focus on self from time to time. This is one of those times for you.

Know that as you pull inward to preserve and heal that many,many folks here will have you in their thoughts and minds. Beyond vast knowledge - you have a wonderful way of explaining complex medical interactions with analogies that 'every man / woman' can easily understand. It's a gift...and I thank you for sharing it with all of us.
