Hi all,

I kind of dropped off the earth a few months ago, 6 specifically, after my last CPNE try. I needed to disconnect from the whole process for a while and get back to a normal life for a while.

Anyways, apologizes to all if you reached out to me and I didn't respond. The disconnect did me well. I have put in for the CPNE, which will be my official 2nd try (won my first appeal). Its been 6 months since I have put the paperwork in and paid the ungodly fee.

I will be around and if you happen to catch me when i'm online shoot me a quick hey. If i'm feeling really randy I may share my last CPNE experience.

Bill

Yesssss Bill! I followed your story with intense interest and would check the site daily for an update on your situation. I was saddened by your departure but understood it entirely. Not only is this test tough but it's expensive and requires a long wait. I'm so glad you have put the gloves back on and are ready for another round. I look forward to your future posts.

Well, fell off the horse (felt like I got kicked in the head by said horse) dusted myself off and I'm climbing back on. It's been a heck of a ride but it's not over yet. I just keep the aerosmith song playing (I'm back in the saddle again)!

Happy to see your back. I followed your cpne post and was so upset for you when I heard and to see you go. Sometimes disconnecting is the best medicine bc I see now how the cpne totally takes over your life (I'm on the wait list now). Would love to hear your story when your ready to share and of course any tips you have.
