Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and wishes. I usually don't discuss my health publicly, but I guess I'll do anything for attention! (LOL!!!) I am fine... just an acute case of thoracic outlet syndrome which is quite common for people with FMS/MCSS. I get exacerbations when I let myself get too stressed or exhausted, so all I needed was a good night's sleep (in a hospital??? yeah, right..) and a few injections of heavy-duty muscle relaxers and OxyContin. I just need to kick-back and rest for a few days before ramping up again for the IRBA San Diego show, then I can crash and burn! I appreciate all of your support, and will try to get individual notes out for all of you who sent email. You are all the greatest!

Girl, you need to take a break. Relax put the dogs outside and breath. Make Glen take care of the lizards lol. That would be kinda fun to see. Him chasing crickets around and going nuts lol. I hope you fill better because after the show in October you still have to come down here for the wedding lol. So better rest up because we are going to have some partying to do lol.
Seriously relax and take a break you need and deserve it.
Hope You feel better.
