Yeah the whole week has pretty much sucked! I mean I am doing pretty good, but my friend is sick and I feel sorry for her. She thought she had strep throat but now she thinks she might have mono. Her medicine hasn't been workin so she went to a walk in doc office just a bit ago. So we'll see. Plus on top of that my cousin had her foot ran over a couple of days ago by a forklift truck. She works in a factory and there were boxes so she didn't see him coming. The guy was speeding in the factory and by the time she saw him it was too late, and he ran over her foot! So her foot was in so much pain! Luckily nothing was broke. It's just at first her pain medicine made her have a headache and feel sick. Talked to her yesterday though and she felt better, just her foot feels numb now. So I've just been feelin sorry for my cousin and friend. I know they both will get better, but I care alot about family and friends.

Sorry to hear about your cousin and your friend, Karen. I hope they both get better soon. It hasn't been the best week for me either. Wonder if it is contagious. Hope mine didn't pass on to you, your friend and cousin. Hopefully next week will be better for all of us. Take care and we will keep all of you in our prayers. |

Sounds bad, K, but I'd say your cousin at least had a really lucky escape! The forklift only went over her foot, not her, and nothing was broken. I'd be pretty happy if that were me, considering the alternative! Even so - not a great week for you or those close to you, I agree. On the bright side, though, there will be better times for them, and for you. This is the thing to remember, IMO |

Sorry to hear about that, Karen; I hope they'll both get better soon. A mono, that sounds no fun and I hope it's not that. As for your cousin, it looks like she was indeed lucky in her bad luck. On the bright side, you're well and can be there for them while they're not, at least. |

Uh. That's bad news. Hope she gets soon better. Best thing for her I think is now a warm bed - or at least warm clothes, many, many vitamins, and occationally something nourishing to eat. (When I was ill as a kid, I never could eat anything somehow. I do well remember a full pan filled with baked potatos, though. Yum ! I got it when I was ill one day - after a few days lying ill there, I think I can remember.) As a kid I had Bronchitis (look in Wikipedia for trhat). I have horrible, yet very blurred memories of that. The summer after my bronchitis we went to the sea, on vacation as my doctor had said. I should breathe the fresh, salty air there, which was said to be good for my lungs, then. Maybe your friend should do that, too. After recovering, of course. Good luck ! |

When I was ill as a kid, I never could eat anything somehow. I do well remember a full pan filled with baked potatos, though. Yum It's not that uncommon, whenever I get really ill I can't eat more than 1/10 of what I usually eat (which already is little), or not at all. My personal record now is to lose 13kilos during one illness, and that's 20% of my total weight. |

hey rockergrl, your friend is young & strong so there's a fighting chance. & if your friend is a fighter, which i'm sure she is, then she has an even bigger chance to get better. in any case, like Shan, i'll pray for your friend. |

Thank you so much everyone! It means a lot to me that you care so much! I hope she gets 100% better soon. I know it will take time, but I want her better fast! Talked to my cousin lastnight she is doing better but still sometimes gets a sharp shooting pain through her foot. Last week was pretty hard on me hearing all this news about them, been crying off and on. So thanks for all the love everyone!
