Gigi1 - I am so truly humbled and touched that you would remember and light a candle for my Amelia. Thankyou. I will be thinking of you too, and your DD will be close to my heart. It must have been heartbreaking to receieve that news, and the pain, and fear and numbess that soon set in. It's like your world just stops, and never really gets back to being the same, at least that's what I imagine.

I know you'll do what is right for you at the time.

That virus sounds yukkie. ( I know pull out the big words). Hope you are managing. Hopefully your recovery will be speedy. I suppose with all of those symptoms, you probably just feel like resting anyway? I know what you mean about the word herpes, it just conjures up.... well unpalatable images, where is chicken pox sounds much more benign ( even though its misery when ou have it).

Good idea to take some of the pressure off. You need to heal, and I want you to be better real quick.
