I have been checkin up on the boards whenever I can but for the past two and half weeks I have been very sick. I had an ovarian cyst problem that landed me in the hosptial for a couple or days only to get the flu when I returned home. I have been the bed forever trying to get over this flu and stomach virus combo I have going on. My dog shadow had to have is eye removed because his cornea ruptured two days ago. I still don't feel that well and because of my sickness I have lost my job. My stylist came to my house when she found out I was sick and she braided my hair up so very little damage was done while I laided in the bed. My hair is still shedding very badly and I cut off an inch because the motions relaxer I had awhile ago had made it very frizzy and dry in spots.The only good looking hair left is hair relaxed with mizani. I have been trying to maintain a proper regime but I just haven't had the energy at all. I will finally get out of the house tommorrow and I will finally be able to eat a more than one solid food meal a day. My stomach had been acting up some much that more than that cause alot of pain. I do feel 100 times better now than I did two weeks ago and I just wanted to post to say Heloo to all of the newbies and congrads to sweetcocoa on being the model of the month. Your hair really looks great. Well I have run off at the mouth enough. Good night ladies and god bless.
