Ælfscine, I'm so sorry for how you've been treated. There's nothing more wrong. But don't give up! You can do it! I don't know much about doctors or teachers, but I think I can speak for the rest of the forum by saying we'll all be here routing you on

[Ælfscine]

Hello Everyone!

Yikes! It has been a long time since I've posted here. This is just going to be just a short catch-up. I had my hip replacement for almost two years ago now. It will be a while yet before I can start belly dancing. I'm still having some balance issues but the doctors are confident that I shall be fully functional in time. My hand has healed up nicely and I'm working on playing my sagat (sagatot?). I'm still in Greece working with the WHO. I have been spending most of my time trying to learn Greek -- and get laughed at a lot but in a friendly way. Most here are pleased to no end that I'm trying and give me a lot of help.

There has been romance in the air for me although Theo and I have to sort a lot of things out before we can think of marriage. I don't want to rush things either -- I really want to feel him out thoroughly before saying "yes" to anything.

And that is all the news which is news at the moment.

Say what?

Yes, welcome back Ælfscine.

[Shanazel]

Zorba and I are showing off our command of Greek.

[Shanazel]

Or lack thereof, in one case.

[Zorba]

Mine isn't all that great, but I can usually "get by" in most tourist situations.

[Ariadne]

Ah.
