I hope you are feeling better and that your temp has gone down. It really stinks to be alone when you're feeling lousy. A while back I had to have emergency surgery and it really hit home that I was traveling through life alone. Our daughters were wonderful, friends were there for me to help with chores; but when everyone went home and it was just me and the shadows, the emptiness hit me like a kick in the gut. My DH wasn't there to check on me to see if I needed anything, he wasn't there to come over to the couch just to sit with me and hold my hand, he wasn't there to help with the doctor's appointments before I was permitted to drive. Yep, it really stinks!

Hope you recover quickly and get stronger minute by minute. We survivors have to be a resilient lot, don't we? All the adjustments to our lives can be suffocating if we let them. March on. We are an army who has entered an endurance race. We may not achieve first place, but we can outlast the best of them if we put our minds to it. TJ

I hope you feel better. Its amazing how your life can change so drastically in a moment.

I hope you are feeling better this morning. This is one of those times that really drives home all we have lost and how alone we are.
My husband used to worry like a mother hen when I was sick and rush out and come home with all kinds of potions and the latest bestseller.
The first time I was sick was just so incredibility sad. The hardest part of this for me is not being that special someone to someone. Just the comfort and security of knowing you have someone there you can call on night and day.
I know we have friends and family and are truly thankful for them. But when we wake-up hot and feverish noone is there to get us a gingerale and cold cloth and nag us about making a doctor appointment.

I know exactly how you feel. I was home sick Monday and Tuesday with a sinus infections and felt so alone. It's the first time I've been sick since Stephen died and it was so hard to be alone and not have somebody to worry about me.

Frankly, I had a little bit of pity party with myself. I guess this is just one more unpleasant fact we face in our new reality.

I hope you're feeling better today.

I hope you are feeling better. This is one of the times when we can't escape from our reality, even if we have family and friends to look after us. It is not the same, and we long for our best friends and companions. Sending you a bear hug to cheer you up, Sil

Hope you are feeling better. It is no fun to be sick AND alone. Just a rotten part of our new reality. Sending you a hug.......Dianne

Hope you're feeling better soon. Stand right by your computer - I'm pouring hot tea and chicken soup into mine.

I'm about the same, but my doc is giving me some medicin to take care of it. Thanks for all the replies. It's good to know that others understand.
