Dear Friends,
Patty has asked me to do this on her behalf. She sometimes has difficulty finding the words to express herself in the way that she would like.
This may see a bit odd to be putting an open letter out on the forum for the shard but if you will bear with me you will understand by the end of this message.
Patty has been struggling since the first of the year with some chronic health issues. She has made steady progress with these but still has a long way to go in some respects and in other areas there is no ‘fixing’ the problems, it is more like learning to manage it as best it can be managed.
There has been both a physical and emotional cost to addressing her maladies. She’s been though several types of medications in an attempt to find the right combination to do the most good with the least harm. This is not easy and fraught we setbacks constantly.
Many may have noticed increasing lately that she has been very short with people, impatient, and at times makes harsh often in accurate judgments and vocalizes these without hesitation. She sees herself doing these things and at times simply can’t stop herself from lashing out. We think this has a lot to do with the current medications she is taking but also the stress of dealing with her health issues undoubtedly plays a significant role.
Patty wanted me to write this as an open apology to those who she has lashed out at, miss judged or in any way offended. You are most if not all people that we’ve grown to enjoy spending time with and she felt that you deserved both an apology and an explanation of where this outrage is coming from.
Your thoughts and prayers are desired and welcome, your understanding is greatly needed. If she blurts out something harsh please take it with a grain of salt as it likely is not her true feelings.
Regards,
Kaw.. (on behalf of Patty)

Patty, you are in my thoughts and prayers!! Sometimes, it is easy to forget that all of us playing UO, have complicated "real life issues" that we're dealing with. I am thankful that you had the courage to share this with us... and know that we all are supportive of you and your recovery! Also, please know that you have only to ask, should you need anything from me.. help of any kind, or just to listen. *hugs* :)

I have a few health issues as well and think i might know how you feel Patty. My meds can make me say and do things i normally wouldn't and be very intolerant with people. My thoughts are with you guys, you are good people.
