    18.4.2008                After all I made it, and feel like a winner. 2 weeks ago, for no obvious reason, I got very high fever, and unlike I
                                  normally do, I accepted the lift to the hospital. That is rather rare, as usually I fights against it until the very last
                                  day and moment, no matter how much I am persuated. But when I say myself, that I am ready to go, it means
                                  I am not well. It happened the 2nd time in my life 2 weeks ago.
                                  However, I´m back, after pneumonia and pyelonefritis, and life is winning again. Please, forgive me if you have
                                  tried to contact me and I haven´t answered back. I haven´t forgot any of you ! But can you please contact me
                                  me again. And if you don´t get an answer, try again, and third time. My answer is coming, but it takes time, and
                                  I might need reminding, as there are thousands of messages that are waiting. I remember and find it better, if you
                                  push me a bit to remember. I have read your message, but due to situation now or before, I might not find your
                                  message again.
                                  But it is SO great to be back at home, by Mike and Tuisku and all the friends !! Thank you everyone once again
                                  for your great help in the very difficult situation ! Without you I would never have coped ! Thank you for my
                                  wonderful personal assistants, who never left me when needed most, I will never forget that ! Thank you for my
                                  parents and Riikka and her family, looking after my dogs so, that I did not need to worry about them for an one
                                  minute ! Thank you to all my friends understanding why I disappear again, leaving everything I had promised,
                                  and waiting until I am ready again to continue. THANK YOU !!!
                                  I try to update all the  incredible results that you, people have done with your dogs, while I have been unable to
                                  update. I am SO proud of all of you !!!!
