Some readers removed

Since the reader who violated Sara's privacy and divulged part of her blog wouldn't voluntarily identify themselves, we have removed a number of readers. They are being sent emails to verify who they are and how do they know Sara. I am uncomfortable having to take that kind of action, but access to the blog was conditioned upon people respecting just a couple of basic rules - not discussing or sharing the contents of her blog with anyone was the primary one.

We all get to have a unique look into the daily random thoughts of Sara. We get to share in her ups and downs through the only medium she has for an outlet. It is like getting to read someone's diary every day, and a peek into the mind of someone who is locked into their own body. You just have to remember that even though she is the same Sara (quirky, silly, wildly intelligent) that she has brain damage from 3 injuries to her brain. It changes a person and it has certainly changed her. But it also means that the collective people who have access here are also being asked to protect her and help her along her road to recovery - as much recovery as she can get.

The circumstances over which she lost the last chance with Tracy are unfortunate, but not altogether unforseen. He was going to find a reason to stay away. Just so happens that Sara inadvertently gave him one and someone decided to play "I got a secret" and share outside the blog with someone who had no business knowing. It was hurtful, to Sara and to Denise. But the end result - Tracy leaving Sara - had already happened, but he hadn't said goodbye.

So now she knows. And we know. And we can circle up around her and lock arms around her.
