NEWS ON WENDELLS

Hi Everyone,

I expect a lot of you have been wondering about Wen, although it was mentioned in another post about a week ago.

A few weeks ago she developed a severe chest infection and pseudomonas in her lungs, which resulted in the infection spreading to, and affecting other organs. She was in hospital, and thankfully responded rapidly to IV antibiotics. However, as Wen is still recovering from a serious stroke, this setback has knocked her for six, although this week she was starting to make some progress, and was set on posting herself. She has been really through the mill, and unable to even get online much so she has been resting and sleeping much of the time with nurses and carers coming in and out as well as her family.

A couple of days ago I got a long email from her and she was sounding so much better, but today has been a bad day for her. Wen is hoping that it is due to her overdoing it, but I have asked her to get checked out because of her recent health history, she cannot afford to let things slide for a day or two to see how she does. A few weeks ago, it was a close thing when she was hospitalised with the infections, and it is somewhat miraculous she responded so quickly and so well to treatment.

I know you will all join me in wishing Wen the speediest of recoveries, and that today is just a little setback due to her overdoing things a bit.

She has also asked me to thank you all for your other messages of support and good wishes.

Get well soon Wen, we are all missing you and your posts.

love and special hugs,

Huggs xxxx :)

That's odd...I messaged her about half an hour ago. :-) I've been wondering where she was. Bless her. Sounds as though she's been through the mill these last few weeks. I'm so sorry to hear that. Send her a huge hug from me and to get better in her own time. xxxxxxxxx

Hi Lyn,

Since the update on Wen, I have received another quick email thanking me for posting and that she will reply to people tomorrow, but it will depend on how she feels, and I am sure she will get around to your message when she can.

I will pass on your hug, but I am hoping she can read the replies for herself.

Thanks again,

hugs from Huggs xxx :)

good news huggs I see the repiritory doctor on the 17th of next month I am dreading it in one way as the IV antibiotic treatment I had at home failed to work and the next step was another two weeks in hospital with a super antibiotic but if I must I will go willingly this time, as I feel the time for playing silly b's is over and what the doctor say goes. Take care and keep well.

Hi ant,

My apologies for the delay in getting back to you, but have been crashed out most of the day and have just wakened up, and have not managed to reply to people today as I had intended.

Hopefully, by the 17th of March you will have recovered more from your infections and the terrible time you have had, and be a bit fitter. Hope you can avoid further infections, but glad you have the attitude now, that it does not pay in the end to delay things too long, and there does come a time when we say, enough is enough. Good on you, and please keep well, and take care.

Come on Wens, this wasn't part of our game plan. We were meant to be concentrating on rebuilding after your stroke. You have got to fight this off darling. So building the strength back up so we can practise working the new brain links. I am doing extra exercise for you and thinking the neurons your way. Rib

Hi Nikkers,

LOL I really don't know the answer to that one! Maybe it has been through spending so much time online when I was at stages I could do little else. Anyway, glad to be a link if I can. Happy to report that Wen is feeling stronger, has been able to read the lovely supportive messages on here and may well post herself within a few days. Good news.

My apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
