Extremely ill and slow recovery

The counter thingie says I've been a pest here for slightly over 9 years or 2006. I first published at "Story Site" in 2001, probably after I returned from Kenya, completely shattered. My heart felt little dream of Christianity making the world a better place had been proved to be a vile, machiavellian. fantasy. I'd had shocking glimpses of the underbelly and droppings of the Missionary game. Then in a few weeks the 9/11 thing came, and the world came crashing in for so many of us, worst of all the occupants of the towers. I still believe that 20 radical nutters could not have done that without due negligence on the part of the unholy trio in Washington.

Unfortunately I left the ranks of most T folk, who make do writing about their fantasies of being women. No, I thought I could live it. And, for a T girl I have been much more successful at living it than writing about it. Amazingly, I have met some extremely loving and kind ladies here at this site, and Erin and several of you have had a large part in saving my life; perhaps giving me the time to settle down, overcome my twitching Aspie palm, and try to make a contribution here. I have a shameless crush on some of you and the only thing that saves me slobbering on your hands is distance.

Since mid-November my health has been slowly declining and I've lost some 25 or so pounds. If I can lose another 25 pounds I will be at my pre-transition weight and might be able to get into my plaid, wool skirt that I saved since the 90's. Good heavens, perhaps I'll even be able to wear that cute little pleated black mini skirt again, though the girls won't allow me to button the top to either.

Since the 8th of January, I have been extremely ill with continuous runs, and sleeping 20 hours a day. Thankfully they now say it was C.Dificule and is often picked up at your local hospital. Today, was my first outing and while very weak, I went to the Grocery and bought a few things.

Be well sisters. "Still no one to spank me after all these years".

Hope that a doctor is watching over you

I would love to lose the weight that you have, but losing it in the way you have is dangerous. Take care of yourself and let us know how you are doing.

My best wishes for a speedy recovery

I have been sick myself lately, so you have my full sympathy. It's no fun. I hope you fully recover, and are around this community for a long time.

But I am so happy that you are feeling better though to regain your strength will take a while, speaking of getting into skirts when you transitioned I hope I never again fit into one I have in my wardrobe to remind me that I was a size 24 UK now I'm a size 12 UK.

The world needs nice people like you so keep well.

There's no need for me to repeat

what I've said and advised you about all these years. You ARE special and not just to me! Being sick sucks, I know. Trust me, I've been there and done that. Yuck!

I've said three words to you almost every time we've talked, but I don't think you think I mean them. I do mean them. I don't say them to just anyone.

You just take it easy and rest. Take your meds and get well. The world and me are better for your presence in the world of the living.

As a T-woman, I do have a Y chromosome... it's just in cursive, pink script. Y_0.jpg

Cathy messaged me about it Gwen.

She said the bug had completely slammed you so I backed off from dragging you to the 'puter.

I sincerely hope you're on the mend now and look forward to one day skyping again. Get well darling.

I'll check facebook, it's been a while.

That is very disturbing, fifty pounds ! Gwen !
I could loose fifty, and no-one would notice, but not you.
Eat yogurt, my grandmother said chicken soup and yogurt cure everything
More importantly, GET WELL

Take care, Gwen. C. Diff is

Take care, Gwen. C. Diff is horrible stuff, really hard to get rid of it and reestablish a normal healthy gut microbiome.
