Hello everyone!!

I must apologize to all of you for making you worry.

I have received many PM's asking how I'm doing.

This afternoon I should be discharged from the hospital.

I'm feeling better.

A weird observation I must tell you all about.
Three days ago my fever spiked in the evening to 104 F for around a half an hour before they got it under control.
I remember during that time seeing colors in the air and hearing whispering when no one was around me.
The doctor said it was slight hallucination resulting from fever. YIKES!!!!!!
Now my fever is around 99 F so no issues now and no hallucinations!!! YAY!!!
Many of you were in contact with me during that time and I didn't tell you because I didn't want anyone to worry too much.
The doctor said this could have turned into something more dire very quickly.
With all this talk about MERSA and deadly staff infections in hospitals I'm very happy to have bucked those odds of becoming any worse.
I'm not dead but it seems that I was beginning to see the pathway that would have taken me there.
No I didn't Map quest the afterlife!! LOL!!

Thank you all for your love and concern for me during this rather dark time. This means more than what you know.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to eat some bacon and eggs that showed up a few moments ago.
Yay I have my appetite back!!

I love all of you very much. :O)

Great news Julia! So did they get the stones out? I think that's why they send people home sooner now, to lower the chances of catching a nasty infection. Glad to hear you're doing better!

You do not know me but I wanted to share this with you. As i read your note goose bumps started from my neck down both
arms. I thought I would go ahead and read the responses before I said anything. Guess what ? The bumps are still there..
So happy you are getting well..

Glad you are on the mend Julia. I had a strep infection that could have been bad also, many years ago. Take care and get well.

Glad you are feeling better. And using MapQuest for directions will guarantee that you will be around a loooooong time. They never use an easy or short route :)

Julia, hope that you are improving, perhaps from feeling "like crap" to feeling "under the weather." At least you're feeling! :)
