I just wanted to let you all know that my husband is recovering well from his back surgery and is also surviving his "jailer". (his words, not mine. )

I am not posting here as much as I'd like to but I have some news to share. About two months ago I was invited to take on a new job as moderator of a world wide Sjogren's organization with a very active internet forum. It was quite an honor to be invited to do this. It is a lot of responsibility and involves lots of volunteer time.

When the invitation was issued, my husband and I discussed it. Aside from the honor of being asked, we discussed all the hours I'd have to spend moderating this forum. I decided that I really had no better way to spend my spare time than helping others with this disabling disease. The neurological complications of Sjogren's Syndrome are not well known and it has had profound effects on my life and the lives of so many others. So I wanted to let you know that I'd be checking in and sharing any new knowledge I find with all of you, but it will be not as often as I was.

Stay well and thanks for all your support. I'm not gone, just busy with something more worthwhile than all my aches and pains .

Good luck with your new endevour, IM sure that you will do a great job. being busy is better than not being busy.

You'll make a great moderator! I think it is a wonderful opportunity!

Just remember, there are sometimes some very strange troublemakers on the
net, and being a "policewoman" now, you will get to deal with THEM!
So I hope that aspect does not "get you down".

I am also relieved that your hubby is doing well.

Best wishes!

credit is due!

I, for one, will miss your steady clear headed presence even when in great pain. You have been an inspiration to me to try and be the same.
