Of Woe... of the Past... of the Present...

Greetings... *Bows lightly.*

I wish you a Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, as a potential friend.

These past two years have been especially difficult for me. At least, I think it was two years. I'm unsure of time these days. I even have trouble coming up with my own age at times.

A long time ago, I was receiving treatment for a deadly condition I had. While I am no longer afflicted, the unfortunate matter is that I was receiving a little too high of a dosage in treatment. This left me comatose for a number of months.

While they didn't think I'd wake up, here I am. I had lost much of my memory as well, but thanks to the miracles of therapudic services related to memory I have regained some of it.

I wish I hadn't.

In the past I was known simply as Jade. A prominent figure in another community. Role-Player, respected moderator, and I had a polygamous relationship with two wonderful partners. Though, one more than the other... and when I went into a coma, someone had misinformed them that I had passed on.

It makes me cry to think of how they reacted. Even moreso when at my return, they were doubtful - claimed I was someone else... and I suppose I couldn't blame them... so they pushed me away until I had no means of making my voice heard to them.

Some of my old friends persisted, and continue to support me... when I'm conscious.

The over-treatment left me permanently weakened. So, now and then, I will lose consciousness, passing out in the most awkward of places. This has left me very crippled. Sometimes I will black out, and in an instant find myself in a hospital bed. So you can imagine how my perception of time is doing.

For those of you who have been asking in the chat... there is the reason why.

Spoiler: Now, let me share a piece of my past.
