Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017
Thanks, lovely Nora.
I feel a bit embarrassed that my first post on this thread is all about meeee. But I need to fill you in after you've all been so kind and asking about me. So - the good news is the heart thing is no biggie. The not so good news is that my tests came back positive for RSV (a respiratory virus), Influenza A and whooping cough (although that may be a false positive because I've been vaccinated). So I'm now embarking on treatment that includes a 3rd lot of (super strong) antibiotics, steroids, a new type of inhaler, codeine cough med, day and night flu tablets and a nasal spray.
What makes me very sad is that everything about this last six weeks has reminded me how ****** lucky and blessed I am! Although I've been feeling really, really sick, I have access to the best medical treatment and I can buy the meds they suggest. I won't lose my job just because I can't work while I'm sick, I have a warm home and healthy food, and family and friends to look after me if I need it.
It breaks my heart to think that I'm possibly in the 0.1% that can say that, and how many people in the world are going through so much worse without access to even basic health care or decent living conditions.
Sorry to start the month off on a negative note, but it's so unfair and I feel sad that there's so little we can do to do to make it fairer!Last edited by Glass Half Empty; September 1, 2017, 08:02 PM.There's two ways of looking at the holes in your shoes

Glassie, I'm relieved you are feeling better. That is a nasty virus and you see the positive despite the negative. Get well soon.

Skendall, thinking of you, at this sad time it good to go to the funeral to be with your daughter.
Glassy, am glad they have find out what is wrong with you, hope you get well & strong soon :hug:
Today I went to a meeting was very powerful . Makes me feel so grateful. I was reading some of my old threads and can't believe that I had gone through some bad times, but got through it by the support of mwo & AA. I can see how much I have changed in myself.

Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017
bird - I hope you can see this as just a falter and hop straight back on that train. Think about next week and how good it will be to be turning up at work sober and with energy instead of the alternative. We're here if you need us. :hug:There's two ways of looking at the holes in your shoes
