Pet me the right way, you do.

Well, let's see. I slept well enough. Short, due to the many naps I do in between, but very well.

Then, the meds that kind of take your immunity system offline, so the flu is coming back with feverflashes.

But for the rest it is just waitng, I am afraid. Resting and waiting until the meds take hold and some of the effects of the virus start wearing off.

They did not give a time frame in which I can expect functions to return to normal.

Thanks for checking in, mate!

i'd wondered if the docs had given you any sort of guesstimate on how long until you're back to normal, but i suppose that is a difficult thing to predict.

stay warm and keep getting your rest, eat well and keep hanging in there -- we'll all help you get through this.

Purrrr.

Well, the meds will take ten days to finish and then it's off to the neurologist to see if there's any damage. There's a 30% chance there is going to be permanent damage.

And thanks. Appreciate it you coming back to check in with me. Mostly I am bored outa my wits. I play Mahjong alot.

I am normally a pig when it comes to eating; I take big chunks of food and chunk it all down as quickly as possible.

Not now; I need to take small bites with the right side of my mouth an djust hope that when I start to chew the left side has to be monitored; I mean, if the bite is too big I might by accident bite my lips or the inside of my cheek.

That sucks (pretty much like you have to )

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery

There are loads of sinus viruses around at the moment, nasty bugs!!

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you feel better and I hope you're not in any pain.

I feel kind of rested, but I worry alot. Pain is just in my ear; an elongated zoom in my ear has been pestering me since friday and does not ease with the meds.
And I still got the flu, that's how it all started.

Thanks for the hugs. I will be better before you arrice, promise!

HamsterHuey said:

I just want you to feel better, period. I wish I was there so that I could hire you a beautiful male nurse to take care of you.

Awwww, Herman. I'm SO sorry to hear that - it sounds really uncomfortable. And scary. I hope you're starting to feel a bit better.

I'm so sorry - I haven't been in GD the last few days and had no idea. I knew you were ill but... You're one of *the* strongest, most independent people I know and this goes to show we all need a hug and a bit of TLC at times. I hope you realise there are a LOT of people who care about you.

Take care, take it easy and look after yourself. BIG hug, H.
