Warning : This is wishy washy! If you are gruff and tough you might want to just accept that I am grateful and move on! To make up for the wishy washy I have had this edited after typing it so it will at least be legible english rather than the semi incoherent gibber I type these days.

Some people are aware of my extended absence from the moors, and fewer would be aware that this absence has been from the game entirely. A number of these people know the reasons, some don't know, and several probably don't really care, which is honestly fine, its pretty lame stuff anyways. The vague summary is that I am quite unhealthy and the result is inflamed joints that mean fingers don't type well, and that prolonged keyboard interaction results in moderate to excruciating levels of pain. This extends beyond the keyboard to most life activities which has generally resulted in me being sour, cranky and miserable. I can get pretty dramatic about hope being lost and such but really I was just bored and pretty stoned on morphine most of the time, watching shows and sleeping all day. And what was more, that I hadn't much thought on was the fact that I was fairly lonely too, not having many guests at the house.

So before I bore you terribly with these details I'll get on to the point. I owe many of you a huge thank you for an unexpected boost to my "moral". My husband reminded me about the pre-order coming and I decided to forgo some b rate tv series in favor of trying to play again. Initially I thought it would be way too painful to play long, and that due to reduced keyboard abilities would result in raid leaders rolling their eyes at the warg that can't keep up.

I was very surprised by the influx of tells, ooc greetings, vent hellos, and the like upon my initial ventures back. I hadn't realized that so many people were aware of little Levex, and it has been really touching since I've been trying to play more to get regular tells and questions asking how I am. The raid leaders have been absolutely incredible to me. Scoobs and Stick both, instead of ushering me out of the raid, they've actively given me jobs that are easy on my hands and give me a sense of helping out. Now when I am feeling well enough to play on the computer I get a smile on my face and I log on even if my hands are sore, its worth the company and good time.

In the last week and a half I have had an improvement in both my health and outlook, my specialist is impressed in the progress I have been making. And the reason I am writing this is because I believe I have all of you to thank :) To everyone that has taken the time to ask how I am, where I have been, if I am better, when I will be playing more, and the like, thank you so much. To the raid leaders that have given me good jobs, or told me to just follow and suck up the infamy, thank you so much.

The Elendilmir creep community is amazing. I am extremely grateful. I am looking very much forward to a full recovery and playing with you all much more again.
