  I first lost all of the text in my draft blog (I selected all of it to use a speech tool) I was interupted and when I came back, I hit the spacer bar to bring my computer back and it deleted the text. I didn’t know what to do and in an effort to get to the trash, I deleted the empty draft. I tried to go on the page to get to page to trash, but that didn’t work. I tried the post-post-trash and the blog wasn’t anywhere to be found. Can you help?
