We were to "take off" this past Sunday to fulltime.  Had lots of commitments.

Life keeps throwing curves.   I (phyllis) have been feeling poorly for about two months.  Some days different to get through the day.

It started with a large red and white sore on my left arm.  Then a sore under my left armpit.     The Day after Christmas I went to ER.  They said I was getting over the flu and arm sore was strained shoulder.

My Dr saw blood work and was concerned about my liver enzymes being high.   Sent for more blook work.   Last Monday had appoinment with her and could not even sit in her office.  Had to go in and lay down on exam table.  Tuesday admitted to hospital.  I was kept there until Sat.

They eventually brought in infectious disease dr.  Asked if I had a cat.  Yea, found a stray kitten in Sept and bought home.  Many playful scratches.   Diagnosis - cat scratch fever.

It has attacked my liver, spleen and lymph nodes, hence the sore under my arm.

I am on antibiotics and need to get blood work and see dr once a week for the next 6 weeks or so.

So, Len is now retired and home with me.   I am still very weak.  I am thankful he is home and able to cook, take me to appointments etc.  

We are deeply disappointed we were not able to leave this week but it is good I am at "home" while sick and near my own doctor and family.

Here's to a speedy recovery. Hope you get well soon.

Get well sooooooooon! You'll be on the road before you know it!

So sorry to hear about your illness.  I'm sure it has to be very frustrating to be oh so close and then have the brakes slammed.  But hopefully this will be just a small speed bump and you'll be rolling down the road soon.  I'll pray for your quick recovery.

Phyllis,

So sorry to hear this and I wish you a very speedy and total recovery.  Life throws us curves now and then.  Hopefully this is just a short delay.  Take care!

Whoa! I thought your thread title was a pun on something. Sorry to hear it's literal! At least you know what it is, and you're getting treated for it. Just a minor bump in the road, get well soon!

Hope you have a speedy recovery and are on the road shortly!

So very sorry Phyllis. I sure hope you will have a quick recovery. The road will still be there when you do..

So sorry to hear about your illness. We are sending good wishes for a speedy recovery. The road will still be there when you are better. Just concentrate on getting better.

Get well soon, the road will wait, G

I hope you have a speedy recovery Phyllis. Rest up and feel better.

-Connie

Phyllis,

After the delays you've had, think of how great it will feel when you do finally do hit the road.

Hurry and get well. We'll be waiting for you.

Jim

We also wish you a speedy recovery. 

Hope to see you down the road real soon.

We're praying for a speedy recovery. I can sympathize with your delay. I know it must have been devastating. We too have a delay. Stick house was supposed to go on the market this week and this past Monday discovered I needed to have search. So, we have to wait. Can't have people walking thru the house while I'm in bed.

Thanks for well wishes. This is first time in days I have felt strong enough to get on computer. Saw Dr yesterday. Liver still out of whack. I am still extremely weak. He is still saying it will take several weeks to get strength back. I get blood work again next week and see him. Time (and antibiotics) will heal this. Again, thanks and see you down the road.
