Well I never want to go through anything like that again!! I'm just glad that I'm back with you all although I'll never be able to catch up on all the posts -743 WOW. I'm off to see what you've all been up to since I was last here.
Oh my oh my! we are so glad you are back. you have been missed and we all were worried about you. glad you are feeling better.
Oh happy day, Eileen is back! We missed you so much, and even worried a bit, but now everything is so much better!
Awww thanks everyone. I've missed you all and I'm sooo glad to be back. I still have a few problems to deal with but nothing that will keep me away again (I hope.) It's been a long haul and something I really don't want to ever experience again. Next time I think I have a 'flu virus I certainly won't ignore it. I can, at last, type although I still have nerve damage to some of my fingers so I'm 'pecking' at the keyboard. The doctors hope I'll get full function back over the next couple of months.
Sooooo good to see you back!!! Scared the beegeebers out of me you did...sorry for sounding like Yoda there. But so glad to hear you are on the road to recovery.
I'm sorry that you have been having problems but am glad to see you recovering from them. You take it easy for awhile longer. Short posts will keep us in touch with you. Sure missed you. dooley
Hey, do you mind me asking what it was you were down with? Was it actually flu?...though I didn't know you could get nerve damage from that! Yeah, I know...really nosy, and it won't offend me at all if you'd rather not say!
Ronni no one seems to know exactly what the virus was I contracted. It began with 'flu like symptoms and progressed into a terrible chest infection. I could hardly breath, which is a horrible experience, then developed into pneumonia. I came out in very itchy blotches (not a rash), some as big as saucers, that drove me mad. As I had no strength to move much and was confined to a chair for weeks, in the same position, the nerves in my neck became affected which caused my hands to go numb and all 'pins and needles'. I still don't have much feeling in my third fingers and pinkies but at least the rest are back to normal. I've been pumped full of steroids, antibiotics, antihistamines and vitamins and dear knows what else. Thankfully they all eventually worked!!
