Whew Marian,
Now I can see why you feel flattened. Having sick days as a kid was almost fun as you miss school and get lots of attention.
Being down as an adult is horrible.
You obsess over lost days, things left undone, kitchens left in disarray and paintings in your head.
It feels like you're never going to get out of that bed.
Gratefully, you have good medical care, and a very loving and supportive family to get you over this.
And your own sunny nature.

I'll keep checking and you keep resting.
We'll all be ready for your return and want it to be soon.

To health!

Bonnie
