Hi all... I missed you!

Oct 08, 2009 18:13

Hello everyone,

This is just a quick note to let you know that I'm not dead nor have I fallen off of the edge of the Earth. I've just been sick. I came down with H1N1 almost 3 weeks ago and got really quite seriously ill. I'm recovering, but it's going very slowly. And I am very very tired.

I'm home now, but I developed secondary vocal cord ( Read more... )

wittering on an on, h1n1

Oh no! So sorry to hear how ill you've been! From what I've heard and read about H1N1, it is very long lasting compared to the regular flu and that you can have a high fever for weeks. And to have vocal chord paralysis on top of it? Ugh. I am happy to hear that you are starting to turn the corner now though..
Believe me, if I have any chance to get that immunization for my family and myself, we'll be the first in line.
I'll pray for a speedy recovery for you. Take care!

I am much much better then I was dear, and being mute is an interesting vacation from most human contact, so... silver lining.

It hit really really fast. I went from feeling just fine to incredibly sick in about 3 hours and spent a few days on oxygen. It's been about three weeks now, and I am just now getting a bit of energy back.

I have been thinking about bbD's vocal paralysis a lot, he certainly dealt with it with strength and grace.

Luckily, I am no singer! That being said, I did manage a little meep noise today which is a huge step in the right direction.

Our province is just starting to immunize now. My timing SUCKS.

I hope you get to feeling better. I also hope that "Oceanic Descent" will be updated soon. I've missed that fic alot.

BTW, I friended you. Would like for you to friend me too.

Hello 08wvidolfan!

I friended you back and I am glad that you haven't forgotten Descent. Neither have I, really... I promise:)

I really miss writing, and I am looking forward to having enough energy and peace to pick it up again.

Stay healthy!

Hey bb,

I missed you! I hope life is treating you well.

(And I am happy I am okay too;)

Be well,

Oh, love!

I'm so sorry to hear this, but I'm also glad to know you're feeling a bit better. *hugs tight*

I've missed you too, but you have to go back to bed and recover, okay? We'll still be here when you come back!

Buenas noches Maria!

I saw your video last night... you are as cute as a bug! And your voice is lovely as well. (I am noticing voices a lot lately.)

Thanks for the hugs, they never go amiss. And yes darling. I am resting. A LOT.

Here are some non-infectious hugs for you;)

Hello Dee dearest!

I am glad to hear you are well, and I am hoping that you will sail through this flu season untouched... but in a library crawling with sniffling kids, it could be a challenge.

I don't know how much the precautions can really help. I know hands are the best medium for infection, but an uncovered cough creates an aerosol virus plume that can extend six feet! Hard to avoid.

Go for the immunization. Really.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving dearest!

((((((Dee))))))
