Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Yes, that sounds great that they could do avoid the ostomy. We're all sending good recovery vibes her way.

Hi , So sweet of you to ask how I am. Overall, I am doing okay. I had Influenza A over New Year's and was in the hospital in Philadelphia for a few days. On the positive side, I had a great view of the New Year's Eve. fireworks from my 14th floor hospital room! However, I am still regaining my strength from the flu a few weeks ago. Hopefully I will be back to my baseline in a month or so. My mito doctor said it could take 2-3 weeks just to begin to feel better. I lead a program at CHOP for teens and young adults with chronic health problems and we had a workshop on self-advocacy today, so I am wiped out tonight. I'm sure I will be crashing for a few days, but hopefully will be back on my feet by mid week. Thanks again for asking! Hugs, Malisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hi Malisa, Sorry to hear about the flu, I was wondering, did you get the flu shot? I know Dr. H-P, or at least the MDA clinic, tends to push the flu shot... Philly is a great city, but I'd rather stay there in a hotel than hospital Take care, RH > > In a message dated 1/15/2005 8:52:09 AM Eastern Standard Time, > dgregori@w... writes: > > How are you doing these days? > > > > > Hi , > So sweet of you to ask how I am.
