So I just wanted to let everyone know what happened with me during the Confirmation Hearing and the 2019.
As many of you all know, I am disabled. I have a disease that is relatively debilitating. Last month JoePick from iHub (he's my WaMu partner here in San Antonio) took me to the hospital to undergo a procedure that would enable me to function at a much more normal level. You should know that I did plan ahead for this trip. Unfortunately, the hearing went beyond what anyone expected and the effects of this procedure only lasts so long. I expected to be in Delaware for about 5 days and then have about a 10 days to rest up and prepare for the 2019. That didn't happen.
We were prepping and working non-stop for two weeks. My health began to decline about two days prior to the end of the hearing. Over the weekend I traveled to Virginia (to save money on hotel expenses) and continued to prep for the 2019 for another two days. By the third day I was in a full blown relapse and was unable to travel. So I couldn't even make it back to Delaware.
Fortunately, I was staying with someone who had nursing training. So she not only coordinated the postponement, but coordinated my care and medication procurement. We had to reschedule my flight since I wasn't well enough to travel, but eventually I made it back home. I'm still sick, so I'm going to need some help with things over the next few days and weeks. I don't want anyone to worry about me. I've had these relapses many times before and I know what I need to do to get through them.
I know that many of you are disappointed about the postponement. But I assure you, I will be at the next hearing. And the oral arguments. Also there will be an omnibus in September where someone will have to argue for all of the billing objections that have been filed against Weil. Since no one is going, I will be doing this one as well.
As far as the money is concerned, we did the absolute best that we could to stretch your donations. We never imagined that this hearing would last two weeks. We certainly never imagined that oral arguments would be pushed out for a month and that we would have to return. However, with diligence and the constant watchfulness of Cat, we managed to make it all the way through the Confirmation Hearing. At this point, we aren't sure what's going to happen with the upcoming hearings, but we're working on it.
You should know that each Pro Se Objector that stayed for those entire two weeks made individual sacrifices beyond just personal monetary expenses. And without going into those issues, I think James Berg, Bill Duke and Nate Thoma deserve a big "Thank You" from everyone here.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know what happened. I know it was quite abrupt and everyone was left with little or no explanation. And I'm truly sorry for that. But at the time, my main concern was just staying out of the hospital. If it's any consolation, I'm probably going to get reamed out by my physicians today. So if any of you love me, cross your fingers and hope I get their answering machine.
