Gratitude, Human Shortcomings and Happy New Year Wishes

Blog Posted by Suzanne Delaney: 12/28/2015 2:13:00 PM

 

Hello Dear Poets:

I want to thanks you for your  supportive comments and friendship through the year.

I am behind in responses to everyone  due to some frightening health problems.
I had a GI bleed 3 weeks ago.  Fortunately it turned out to be a diverticulosis that caused terrible cramping which then resolved spontaneously over a few days...Then on Christmas Eve I had an unusual sharp itching 
around my left Lower ribs which escalated into terrible aching and stabbing pains
. Turns out I have a severe case of Shingles.  Thank goodness for the relief the meds are
giving me.  I am laid up so will make time to come and return responses to all who have reached out to me over the past months,  I treasure your friendships and talents.

Certainly, it makes you appreciate well being when it returns.

I want to wish you all the best of health and everything good for 2016

dang it, shingles. They say be careful after age 60. I really want the immunization against it, but still with no health insurance, so I am hoping my husband's company will get a plan that allows the spouse a decent premium and the first thing I will do is get this shingles shot. My aunt had it and it was with her for a long time. sorry you got this terrible thing. Hope you have a happy New Year, regardless.

Hi Andrea: Yes I hope you can get the immunization. If you get treatment within 72 hours of the beginning say you have more of a chance of avoiding the post-herpetic syndrome. My Dr. Aldo put me on Methylpednisole to ensure I would avoid the deep inflammation that causes shingles to linger,,,so I am praying it works. Hug, SuZ

Get well soon, Suzanne, and be kind to yourself. My brother recently came down with Shingles, and I know from his experience the misery it can cause. My advice to everyone, is to get the shingles vaccine if you can, before you are immobilized by the disease. It is expensive, but can often prevent some of the horrible effects . I'm so sorry you have had to endure the onslaught! I hope it passes quickly !
