Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 cheryl, sorry you've been enduring emotional stress with your family besides battling the bugs. i hope you can take some downtime for yourself in order to resume marketing.........congratulations on the 10 books you've sold. jennifer in canadaCheryl wrote: Hi Theresa, I’m on digest, so only just found out you’re on your way to hospital. I hope it’s not too boring for you. I’ve been lucky because I haven’t been in hospital since Feb last year. It’s been touch and go a couple of times, but somehow I’ve managed to stay away. Just finished two courses of antibiotics and feeling more tired by the day. Of course it doesn’t help that I’ve just come back from few days at a writer’s conference, where I presented a workshop. I’ve just released another book, which took me about four months of hard work to complete. Now it’s out and about I’m into the marketing mode. <<sigh>> Sold ten books at the conference, so that’s promising. (I’d love to have four or five days of just doing nothing. I think I really need to veg out. We’ve had a very trying time lately regarding our grandchildren – aged 2, 3, and 4 - don’t think I told you; the mother [my ex-daughter-in-law] put them in danger with her new partner when he went on a drunken rampage, and they had to flee the house at 3.30am seven weeks ago. We’ve been to court several times to get an intervention order against the jerk- which we did - and now the kiddies are here full-time. Very tiring for me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.) Barb asked about snow; well Barb, I was in Ballarat for the conference, and believe it or not, it snowed there! Very light, and it melted before it hit the ground, but it was still snow. (Freezing place, Ballarat; worse than Melbourne!) The main places for snow here are Mt Buffalo, (I was born in Bright, which is at the foot of Mt Buffalo) Thredbo, and Mt Buller. We also get quite a bit at Lake Mountain. Cold, nasty stuff! I’m sure there are other places in Oz where it snows, but I think these are the main ones.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 cheryl, i'm sorry you arent' feeling the greatest.......sending you cyber good wishes and many blank pages to fill with your skill as a writer!! jenniferCheryl wrote: Hello to you all, I truly hope all you sickies are feeling better, you make me feel so lucky that I still remain stable even though I have a persistant cough and bring up loads first thing in the mornings, (the acapella is helping me bring up more). I often cough in the night and have to get up and clear myself, sometimes I cough in my sleep and my hubby gives me a gentle shake and wakes me to tell me to get up and have a decent cough. He amazes me, we have been married 11 years, it is my second marraige, before we got engaged I told him about my illness and gave him all the literature on it so he would know what to expect, he loved me dispite of it. I said I cough alot at night, he said well I have alot of wind so were even. Has anyone heard of Reiki?. I became a Reiki practioner 10 years ago and can give myself Reiki which helps my breathing and relieves pain. its a hands on healing technique and is brilliant. cheers to you all. Doreen M Hi Doreen, I have a friend who does Reiki. She gives me a treatment from time to time; it’s absolutely amazing how it works. I was unaware, however, that practitioners could treat themselves. Like just about everyone else, I’m still unwell. Been fighting my doctors lately as they’ve done two sputum tests and nothing is showing up despite the fact I’m coughing up nasty coloured gunk all the time. I’m also getting hot and cold flushes, and have now lost four and a half kilos in about six weeks because I’m not eating well – because of the infection. My specialist has been away on holidays for some weeks (good for him, but not for me) and I’m hoping he’s back this week. I’m going to ring him to sort something out. I would rather go on (decent) antibiotics now, than end up in hospital down the track. My GP gave me two courses of Rulide, which are like lollies to my system; they don’t do a damned thing. Still having the transfusions (for the immune system) but on reduced doses because of the shortage here in Melbourne. When I had the last one, the doctor tried to give me some extra, but there was none to be found in the entire hospital. <<groan>> This has been an ongoing infection for around five months now, and it’s starting to really drag me down. Something will have to give soon. Very soon.
