It has been so long, and where do we go from here?
I have been thinking a lot about the direction of this blog. What's the point, why bother, etc. so forth. After a while, simply bemoaning the system and my personal health dilemma dashed with a little patient advocacy tips seems rather self absorbed. And, then, why don't I just write it in one of my binders. So, I am sitting back and reviewing how to reframe this activity, connect it more to the FB identity, and then there is Twitter.

Alex, I understand your point about "what is the point?" though I have to say I have gotten a lot out of reading your blog, as well as other blogs I've read about people going through their experiences with AVN and surgery. It may seem self-absorbed to you, and I know how isolating going through all this can be. But I encourage you to continue to write about your experiences, as well as your tips, in whatever format you find most pertinent.
Thanks for the support
