Yuckity Yuck!

Hi Folks. Sorry for my absence from blogland the last few days. I've had a bad virus (swine flu?) since Friday and been really unwell. Started Friday afternoon with diarrhea, wild temperature fluctuations, aching all over and feeling pretty awful. Now I am exhausted and my nose is still running and lungs aching. I'm really hoping to be back to normal by the end of the week. I have missed my walking so much, missed just being out in the fresh air so much. Weird for an agoraphobic to say that huh?!

I haven't felt up to reading and commenting on blogs or answering email so you'll have to bear with me while I catch up. I've got a lot of reading to do!

Thank you to everyone who commented on the last post. I think there's a lot more to be said on that subject about how we eat and what our expectations about eating are.

In the meantime I'm just going to try and catch up with everyone!

  6. BearFriend! I wondered what was up-- thought you may have decided to hibernate for the winter! LOL. I had that yucky flu last month and it took WEEKS for me to feel completely myself again. Give yourself plenty of love and we'll be here waiting on your full recovery! XOX

  7. Oh no, not the dreaded swine.

    I hope you feel better soon. Can I send you some chicken soup? Take care of yourself and you'll be back out walking in no time.

  8. I hope you don't have Swine Flu! I'm still not fully recovered from that, it keeps flaring up and up, every time I think it is gone. My doctor said it was because I never stayed in bed long enough to let it fully heal. I thought 1 1/2 weeks was enough. My energy is zero.

    I hope you feel better very soon.

    I've been so behind in blogging, still trying to catch up.

    Thinking of you!
