    Dearest @Kasa2103 and all my friends who have posted on this thread,

    I was struck down with cellulitis caused by a tic bite that turned highly poisonous causing me dizziness, vomiting, sweats, chills and a lot more. I have been put on Flucloxacillin, but I have been steadily improving, much to my family and friends' relief. Because this nasty form of cellulitis could gone to my heart and I could be dead by now. I have been in serious pain, had terrible nights and lost a lot of weight. This is the first time I have been feeling well enough to come online.

    I apologise for not replying to you guys @Azziman and @Past User but I will catch up with you both by this coming weekend once I come home/ I still feel very week. Despite frequent visits from my loved ones and the hospital is lovely, I remain feeling distraught, helpless and vulnerable, for this is what serious illness causes.

    I was taken to private hospital on the island where I remain.

    I have to say though that I feel quite hurt that many who have not posted on Kasa's thread have wished me well. Many were told that I was ill. It would only have taken a couple of minutes to send me your best wishes, eh? In fact, so hurt I have felt these last 7 days since being rushed to hospital that I am seriously considering leaving the forum.

    So I am off out of it now. It's time for my next live saving antibiotic.

    Sending my love and hugs to those who have really cared for me, I remain true to you in friendship, as always.

    Mandy x

    Just chipping in here after seeing your update @Floxy - glad you're on the up. :) Sounds like a pretty scary thing to go through! Hospitals are never nice places to be, much less for something so serious.

    I will just add that there are a tonne of reasons people might not respond to threads. The day and time it's posted, whether they feel they can contribute something of value, etc. In the cases where someone posts on behalf of somebody else, they may not expect their response to reach that individual.

    This isn't to say you can't feel a bit let down or hurt - you absolutely can - but I'd be hesitant to take this thread to mean people don't care about you. I've no doubt we all do, regardless of who ended up responding to this thread. :)

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Thank you to all who have posted their well wishes on this thread.

    Tonight I finally came home from hospital. My right leg is still swollen and hard to walk on, but I feel lots better. I have a bunch of antibiotics still to take among other meds, but though feeling tired and having to leave chat earlier for rest, I do feel happy.

    Thank you @Mike for what you shared. :)

    @Floxy, I am really sorry, But I have only seen this. I really do hope you feel better and give you the best wishes.. If I would've seen this earlier I certainly would've posted. Please be aware, that there could be many a people who just haven't seen this- It doesn't mean they don't care. I'm here ok and wish you the very best. I hope to see you around.  Best regards, In_me

    Thank you. So much. I realise now the board gets so busy that it's too easy to miss messages.

    I will be around on the boards ok? But for a while not so often or at least until I feel stronger. Just taking the day as it comes, hour by hour you know? To get around the house without too much pain, this afternoon I ordered a 4-wheeler rollator with a seat. Then I can park my bum for a bit and in its front is a neat little basket I can put a bottle of water, a book and my phone. Dunno why I didn't think of it before. B)

    While I remember, there's a high humidity/hot weather warning out for the weekend + Monday, temps 40 - 41C. I'll be offline during that time x

    Can @The Mix close this thread now as it is no longer relevant?

    Yeah realise. Which is why i edited my comment. But its a general rule of manners to not reply to old threads. Esp if its not support for yourself and was for someone else. They may not want it brought back up.

    I know
    Im just saying maybe more helpful for you to flag it up rather than commenting. Because what i thought was that threads gets closed if its brought back up. You commenting on it - is bringing it back up and confusing people on why we are seeing an old thread.

    but yeah i shouldnt of commented my thoughts
    sorry

    Hey @Kasa2103 - we're always happy to close threads on request from the OP. Generally the quickest way is to flag the post and let us know that way, then it gets sent directly to moderators. :)
