I've had my turn, thank you very much

Welcome back Karen. At least you've got the strength back to type a bit! and you seem to have some sense of humor! Hope the recovery speeds up now that you are on the mend. We missed you around here.

So good to see you, Karen. You just keep up with that relaxation - I hear it's good for you >g< Birds are good, too. I was out, weeding, this afternoon, and the little feathered friends were singing fit to burst. Lovely accompaniment. You enjoy it, too; but carefully - don't go outside if it is cold. You have to build up your strength, chicken soup? And - take away meals are just fine in emergencies. Don't be too quick to declare the emergency over. I'm just about to make some scrambled egg on toast - does that give you a little appetite? Yum. . In message , "Karen, Queen of Squishies" writes

It's good to see you back, Karen. Hope that your feeling "weller" continues!

Hi Karen, I do know your feelings about 'the bug' - aka the purge - my family was decimated one by one over Xmas/NY season. Last week, a friend delivered a Xmas gift to me which included a chunk of her fruit cake (lots of marzipan - yum) .... one good thing after the purge: I went for my routine blood tests and for the first time, my cholesterol was down!

Try nuking a potato to begin whetting the appetite - I wanted salmon fishcakes the next day.

I had shingles last summer and essentially missed all of July and part of August. (I never knew something so simple could cause pain that was worse than when I had a double mastectomy and worse than when I had a heart attack, and will be first in line for the shingles vaccine the day I turn 60!) Send your husband to the grocery store for a stack of the new frozen dinners for the microwave, a couple of sacks of salad greens, and some salad dressing. Take your time, and read a good book, camp out on the sofa with a pillow, quilt, and the TV remote control, sleep, and just let spring arrive in its own time. And let yourself get better without pushing it!

Whew, Karen, so glad you're on the mend. Hopes of recovery would be mighty dim if I had to rely on DH's cooking or carrying to sustain us. We have been very well-behaved during your absence. Other than sorely trying Kathyl's patience arranging her quilt, that is. Polly

I'm so glad you're beginning to feel better, Karen! Don't overdo things and have another relapse! :)

Glad to hear that you are at least on the mend. Even when I was a strapping young lady, the flu laid me up for 2 weeks. I can imagine after a few years under one's belt that getting better from anything just takes a little longer.

Hope you have the strength to at least go and fondle some fabric from time to time! LOL

Oh, (((((Karen)))). Prayers that you are able to get over it fully this time!!

Charlotte

So glad to hear that you are on the road to recovery!!

Glad to have you back Karen. I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better.

Hugs, Mika

Karen, good to see you back posting again! Take it easy, take it slow, and enjoy life's little pleasures (like the return of birdies and the coming of spring) while you mend. ME-Judy

Now I seem to be weller, but still can't do anything but relax

As usual, I'm late (replying!!), but prayer for a swift and full recovery on the way.
