I'm back !!! by koalagardens

I'm back !!!

What a wild ride! I can't thank you all enough for the hundreds and hundreds of messages of support over the past 2 weeks.
Exactly one week ago today, I suddenly developed some serious pain, fever and the associated screaming down the porcelain telephone as we say here.
Too long without enough water, I was always managing to get some water, but just not enough.
The short story is I ended with septicemia due to a kidney blockage and spent a week in hospital getting this sorted and have a stent draining my kidney and will be back to have surgery to solve the blockage property in a month or so.
I am so grateful that people just quickly picked up challenges I should have been running.

I could feel the support as messages came to me through 2 members here, so thank you for being the most awesome community in the world.
a huge thank you to @happysnaps (my mum) for making sure I spoke to her on the phone twice every day despite having problems charging it and getting a connection - that kept me grounded in a way I can't explain

another huge thank you to @30pics4jackiesdiamond for helping post updates here and ensuring challenges I was running or winning were taken over so I didn't even need to think (let alone didn't know about one of them 😂 )

Great capture. Had been wondering were you had gotten off too. Was afraid it was weather related. Sorry to hear about your condition. Hopefully it will get better real soon and you'll be right back out there with all of the koala's.
March 15th, 2022  
Wow, I’m glad they caught it. This is a great shot.

That sounds absolutely painful and distressing. Glad you are feeling better and they get it taken care of very soon so it doesn't happen to you again...take care!

Katrina -
So glad that everything has turned out okay for you and that you are back in business!
This is such a cute photo.
I noticed that quite a few of the previous photos that you submitted for the Non-domestic animal challenge were taken before the challenge started so you might consider taking that tag off of them but you have a whole bunch of new shots of koalas that you can put in instead (like this one!!)
