Thank you for all your comments and in particular to those who responded directly. I still won't be a TF regular for awhile as reading and typing hurts my eyes. Aand anyone who knows me will know that it's a real sacrifice not to be a regular but matters of health come first.

I was discharged from the hospital last night. While that's good, unfortunately I remain very, very ill and will not be logging into TF regularly. Right now I need some nursing-type help 24 hours per day. I need someone who is either a nurse or has good nursing experience. The pay is good for those who may qualify. Because I will not be online often, please contact me by mobile at 089 008-0088. Thanks!

ThePunisher: Well, I won't be going to Koh Samed in any event. But yeah, I'm trying to beat it. afook06: Hmmmm...not sure what pic you mean. Giles in a nurse's uniform? God forbid! Steven80: Yeah, I miss the parties too! Ni2508: Alternative medicine is not something that interests me. I'll keep playing along with the docs for now.

ghee: No one wants to be a party animal again more than me! afook06: Yes, have to stay positive! waza: Thanks! kungnoi: Keep cheering!

With all due respect, people, "Get well soon" is something I don't want to hear! It's not going to happen and although I know you have good intentions, I find it a quite irritating. I am not going to be well soon.

In a previous journal I told you that I have a condition called edema. It is swelling of the legs and body cavity caused by fluid buildup in the tissue.I would love to tell you that my condition is improving, but in fact it is getting worse and quite rapidly. Many of the daily tasks I used to be able to do myself I can no longer do and have to rely on help. The edema has causes extreme weakness in my legs and standing up from a sitting position is becoming more and more of a problem. I can no longer shower without help. I can no longer sit to use the toilet without help standing up. Walking is also a big problem. Very soon I may need 24 hour care. And I can tell you that taking a dump without being able to sit on the toilet takes considerable creativity! heheheThe doctors have tried various medications, but none have helped so far. Next week I will probably go to the hospital and they will insert a syringe into my abdominal cavity in order to drain fluid. This will make me more comfortable, but treats the symptom and not the cause and is only temporary, lasting only about 3 weeks. And it is a very painful procedure.Can the edema be reversed? Yes, with the right combination of drugs and treatment. But until now that has proven very elusive.Because my health continues to worsen, I have been spending less time on TF and most likely I will not be online as much as before, though on good days I may be around as usual. I just don't have the energy to read many forums or journals.If you want to know more, PM me.Oh, and visitors here are always welcome!

Thanks for all your comments! OutOfOrder certainly tops the offers!

To those of you who left me testis today, I thank you and each and every one will be read. But I have received so many that they have become unmanageable. As as result I have turned off my testis for now, with apologies. It will be a quiet birthday for me here at home. And the day has not been made any nicer by a round of severe diarrhea beginning at 4am, and still not over (yes, I have a supply of Imodium). At least I hope to get something yummy to eat later in the day.
