Mom in hospital with viral meningitis

[p.dath]

First day back at work. Feeling remarkably good, but absolutely done for right now.

You seem to have had a rough couple of years with your health. I'm glad you're back on your feet again.

[unstuck]

I asked the Hand Doc today if the clutch action is therapeutic? ...affirmative!

There are other ways you could help strengthen her wrists.

Anne has had the worst headache in years which started on Friday. Today we went to Red Beach Medical centre and they sent us down to North Shore Hospital for a head scan
CT was done as were blood samples, came back all clear. They wanted to a Lumbar Puncture, there was no way I was sticking around while they did that but it had to be done just to rule out everything that they suspected.
The spinal fluid showed she has Viral Meningitis, not the kind that will kill you, but a stay in hospital to sort it all out. They are keeping her till the headache goes.

I have just got home after leaving this morning just after 10am, long long day for us both, I best get some sleep as I have work tomorrow.
Already got a text as to what to bring on my next visit...I might need the van!

Sheet only just seen this I hope you are all well and and healthy now Anne fook that Meningitis shit

Well that was interesting. Just come back from the doctors who thinks I have a viral encephalitis, not meningitis. Oh joy! Still all it really means is it has a longer recovery time. My poor little brain

Get to tell my boss I off for another week at this stage. Wont I be the popular one?

Might see if I can do some from home if the brain will think that is.

Fatigue is my number 1 problem at the moment, I hope a re-jig of my medications will improve that in the days to come, a balance between pain management and fatigue. How decadent to have 2 naps a day

Ah do you own any cats? cos cats are encephalitis carriers

Ah do you own any cats? cos cats are encephalitis carriers

I thought the strain that cats carry, was only likely to harm pregnant women, and infants...

Is there something Anne and Mark aren't telling us?

Toxoplasmosis.

It's been a long time since that could have been a possibility in this household, and my kids wont do the decent thing and make me a Grandma so we have to make do with a little black cat. Fortunately she is not a carrier of toxin/toxit/whatsit thing your much smarter bro named

Crying tired tonight, might take a sickie tomorrow...

[scissorhands]

Toxoplasmosis.

thats parasitic encephalitis,, but most docs are hard pressed to tell the diff from viral, aids patients and low immunity are at risk

its attacks anyone immune compromised and moms stress would contribute to recent issues

the body is great at telling us what we need to do, if we listen carefully

stress affects immunity, acids foods promote disease

Like it or not, it's going to take time to recover and your poor old, (Oops!), body is going to be very weak for a while yet.
