Touching base

Hi Mazfire,

Sorry to read that you are in the hospital, and I hope so much that you will recover quickly from the pneumonia and complications. Best wishes to you.

you gotta love technology- thanks to my iphone i can take my hw fam with me wherever i go, even hospital lol. its 2.45am and i cant sleep cos i cant swallow- mouth & tounge riddled with ulcers, tongue swollen. still feels like an elephant sitting on my chest woth the pneumonia and i ruptured =my left ear drum late last night. so tired. at least cos im a private patient i have my own room, ensuite, balcony, tv etc but no sleep tonight. they gav e me Endone (morphine based) but it made me feel high- and nauseous. saorry for spelling mistakes, typing on a tiny tiouch screen not so easy and my room is poorly lit at the moment but needed to vent-

take care and know i miss you all- thanks Raniah + Ben, might read a bit and try to faqll asleep that way. i have cable on the tv and spent the last 2 days doing  a sopranos marathon.

Still praying for you L.A.S. I hope that you heal up quickly and can get back to being you and working soon. Take care and know you have the support of so many that love you here at HW.

Best Wishes,
Your Bro Sam :)

hi maz!!

im so sorry to hear you're sick... wishing you a really quick recovery!!!!!!!!a

You always help out even when going through so much dear L.A.S. I am glad to hear that you are back home, and sorry to hear that it will take awhile for you to heal up. You have been through such a long struggle, that I am just amazed by your strength and courage. It helps make me reflect on not stressing with my simple problems, so thank you for that :) I need a good kick from time to time to keep me focused.

I pray that your recovery will come quick, and hopefully you feel well enough to teach again so soon. Thankfully the intense heat waves are over now, so maybe you will feel a bit more comfortable.

Take care of yourself and God bless my sweet friend!

Your Bro Sam :)

Geez, Maz! You have been so sick! The most important thing right now is to get yourself better! Try not to worry about anything. Know that I'm praying for your quick recovery and I'm thinking about you!

I wish I could be there to help with the essays. Do you have a friend or relative that can take a look at the essays? Or read them to ya?

Stay in bed. Eat good food. Take it easy!

thanks SO much guys- just frustrated cos recovery is painfully slow and i dont feel like i had any rest these school holidays, i will be going back to work with the pneumonia monkey on my back, which sucks.    all i want to do is sleep, but i cant. driving me spare! oh well, you gotta do the best with the hand life has dealt you. it could be worse.

much love to you all for responding and taking time to care,

Aaaah Kitt, you sure know how to make one feel warm and fuzzy! its 5am and i cant sleep- coughing, short of breath, joint pain: the usual. your words are like a healing balm!

i have a huge queen sized bed (had it since i was a baby- went straight from a cot to a queen: thanks mum and dad!! lol) and my beautiful cat sleeps next to me (on a towel, she is furry) and she woke me around 4.30am just cos she wanted to be patted and seen to. i sleep on the left, she sleeps on the right. she's better bed company than any of my idiot ex boyfriends, thats for certain. although she does have fishy breath. the point is, she is intuitive. when im sick, sad, down etc she will cling to me- i love it.

apparently while i was in hospital she just stood in my bedroom doorway and paced and fretted. cute. its just so dumb to be this tired, weary, exhausted, fatigued- and not be able to sleep.

the years i was on Aropax, then Prozac, i simply didnt sleep at night. total insomnia. Aropax was from when i was 17-19, Prozac was 19-22. Before that was Tofranil- 14-17. finally at 22 i was put on Zoloft and generally its good sleep wise. im still happy with zoloft- im about to turn 29, so it has been the longest out of all my ad's.

also- this is off topic, but i thought id mention it, ive been writing a book (fiction) based on a teenage girl who struggles with AP and all that Jazz. obviously its actually semi autobiographical and i use my experiences to base it on, but the good news is i have already spoken to publishers who have shown strong interest! if i am lucky enough to eventually get published, its free copies for all HW AP members!

Anyway, im going to try and read myself back to sleep, the painkillers are kicking in thank goodness.

love and blessings to all,

Maz,

I'm glad you're home with your cuddly kitty to share her furry love.

Does the character in your book use an online health forum? ;)

I hope you recover steadily and quickly. Take good care of yourself!

I know what it's like to be ridiculously tired and not be able to sleep... That was me last year.... (This year, it's kinda the opposite... I'm ridiculously tired, but I'm able to sleep... and I've been sleeping too much... And I wake up... still ridiculously tired)

Hope things get better...

Maz,
Feel better! Hope you heal up soon & that all that grading goes by in the blink of any eye.

gentle hugs,
frances

Hey L.A.S.

I hope you are doing better today. I just wanted to congratulate you on the possible publication of your novel :) That is such great news and I definitely would like to buy a copy.

Take care and get plenty of rest.

Your Bro Sam :)
