Thanks a lot. Hugs from me as well.

I am so sorry that you are sick and in such terrible pain. Behave yourself and rest. The most you should do is to tell us how you are doing. I am including you in my prayers. I understand about crying, it is ok. You are so weak that you just can't manage. That is why you need to rest.

Thanks a lot for the understanding and words of courage. Appreciate it a lot.

So sorry this had to happen anna. IVs can b a bummer, as a nurse myself I never stick more than twice. I get someone I know will get in to do it. Problem is as we get older our veins get more spidery & when u r sick & dehydrated they get even smaller. Do as the Dr. says , rest is the key & meds, drink lots of fluids. Hope you are feeling lots better soon./Lillian

Lillian thanks a lot. Yes I do rest a lot cause I am too weak to do anything. And luckily I drink quite a lot of water.

Bsie sterkte Annatjie. Ja jy gaan mooi na jouself moet kyk veral siende dat die winter eintlik nou eers begin. Rus lekker en luister eerder na jou dokter. Mooi bly dink aan jou

Eleen, ja jong ek het gelukkig nie 'n keuse nie want ek is maar swak maar het vandag vir die 1ste keer beter begin voel. Baie dankie vir jou ondersteuning. Mooi bly jy ook.

I'm so sorry to hear you were ill. I hope you'll fully recover now that you're home again. No more poking needles in unwilling veins - that must have been very painful for you to cry. Beterschap, Martine.

Hi Martine, Thanks a lot for thinking of me. En ek sien hier ontmoet ek nog 'n Nederlandse vriendin. I correspond to another cute friend from there for a year now. Me in Afr and she in Dutch and we understand each other quite good.

I know it's fairly easy to understand Afrikaans. My newspaper had a series on poetry by a female writer a couple of years back and I loved her poems - alas I've forgotten her name.

Ja Martine dit is maklik om mekaar te verstaan. Thanks again for thinking of me. We quite a few good writers in SA.

Take care of your self Anna,It takes time to recover.
Bless you.

Thanks a lot April. Just came online to see who saw my story last night. U are all so caring.

I will be praying for you, I have had pneumonia already and I thought that was so horrible until I developed pleurisy one year. Everyone that saw me thought I was going to die. I could barely walk. The DR. wanted to admit me to the hosp. but I refused and did outpatient therapy of IV antibiotics. It was a very long and slow recovery. Stay strong and postive in your faith, it is the only way. Pray for your Dr's to be alert and compassionate and I will too.

Thanks a lot dear. I also had pleurisy once and it was not nice. Here in SA they don't give outpatient IV antibiotics as far as I know. Am actually stay in bed today cause very cold now. Annatjie

So sorry for all that you have experienced, especially the pain. I'm glad you are out of the hospital and will be getting strong again. I will keep you in my prayers.
Love,
Jacqueline
