Second Cousin of Oopsies

---

I wanted to apologize. Real life considerations regarding the anonymity of my work here preclude leaving any open file if I'm away from the computer. In my haste to publish Simply Enchanting 4, I neglected to add a paragraph that made the story important for me. I wanted to express that the reasons for Jimmy's transformations were driven by his need to change as a person; his changes outwardly, while important, weren't necessarily the way things had to be. Hence the additional paragraph and line.

My fibro and fatigue and vertigo have gotten worse, and I have a consult with my cardiologist tomorrow to discuss the results of the echocardiogram in regard to the vertigo. My family doctor fears that it isn't a cardiovascular issue, but a neurological issue, something with which my immunologist agrees. My health really got to me, and I put the story up before it was really ready to post. Mostly because of the issue of keeping my work from my family, but mostly (and here's where the apology comes in) because I gain so much strength and validation in this world, so to speak because apart from my wife and son, I have very little in the way of support. Plus the likelihood is that the reason I'm falling down is either cardio, which is very serious, or neurological, which is marginally treatable. Oh...and I had a flashback while the technician was administering the ultrasound/echocardiogram. Oh goody!

I'll try to be more sensitive and patient with myself and any story at hand in the future; I'll make every effort to have the story the way I want it before I post it. I appreciate tremendously the support I've gotten for my writing here. It means the world to me since it does provide me with encouragement and strength, and I cannot begin to thank you all! Andrea
