This theme is still faulty, I KNOW, but I dont have the nerve right now to fix the errors. I will eventually. But I really miss my blog, so please overlook the margin errors and concentrate on the entries for now. 🙂 This might get lengthy, prepare. There are a lot of people I need to credit, this will be an extra entry! Special thanks to Dana who created my header, isnt it lovelely? 😀

Its been over 7 months since my last entry. 🙁 I never intended to be gone for that long and there would have been SO MUCH to tell… But there is lots of time to tell about it in the future. I actually really enjoy to read over my past entries and thats one of the main reasons I am so eager to blog again, to be able to read of how life was a year ago and what progress I made and where I am still stuck as ever.

We had a lot of baby bunnies over the last few months. We should have got the big bunny fixed in time and as we didnt, we found three babies in the cage about 6 months ago. They must have been dead when the Mommy delivered them. A while later, I came back from a hospital stay, looked in the cage and there was a nest with three babies, all alive! I took a billion photos of them growing up and some will decorate this entry. The three are about 4 months now and are doing excellent! About a month ago, our female bunny delivered another 5 (!) babies but died shortly after the delivery. That was really sad. We tried to save the babies by handfeeding them, but after a week, one after the other passed away. I felt so incredibly guilty for not doing more, but really, their chance to survive was minimal right from the start. So now we have four bunnies. Nine would have been totally insane!

One of the main themes on this blog is definitely my skin. After 10 weeks in the hospital in the last 12 months and countless visits to the outpatient skin clinic (weekly for the longest time, than every 2 weeks for even longer, sometimes even twice a week…), we finally have my skin under control, for now… They even sent me to a clinic in Munich which is specialized in atopic disorders. We are out of treatment options and I have been on experimental treatments over the last 8 months. I am signed up for more experimental treatments and studies at the AKH in Vienna. Its an insanely long story. If you are interested, I have my own thread at an atopical exkzema board: This too shall pass. In German though. 😉

Because of all of the sick leaves I had and will have, I am going to try to get a disabled person’s identity card, Behindertenausweis in German. The biggest benefit of it would be, that I am practically irredeemable and thats SO important. I am so close to being fired and that would be that worst thing that could happen right now. I have my medical exam next Monday. I need a 50% handicap to get the important benefits! The doctor in the hospital said that I should not worry about it at all but I am dead worried. So glad when thats over!

We are also in the midst of decluttering the house. There is so much that needs to go but at the same time you want to hang to so many things… not easy, but we really need the space. We have thrown away 100s of kilos over the last 2 weeks. More to follow.

More in the next few days. To end this entry on a good note, another bunny photo:
