Thank you everybody.

PhotoComix - I'm used to being able to do something to help in these situations. As long as I can be part of the solution I can show the kind of practical concern you are referring to but when I feel helpless I start worrying. I wish it was easy not to but AnMal is far too important to me and I was so relieved when I found out she was OK.

Erisian, I'm glad she's OK. I appreciate you and AnMal very much.

this is me writing now. thank you so much for all the support and sympathy and prayers, gimp chat people! what a crowd you are. they still don't know what really was behind all that pain, but most of it is gone, so i don't think it was anything dangerous. i really appreciate all the well wishes, support and prayers though, it made me a bit teary eyed to read it. glad erisian had you to talk too as well, i know he needed it.

@AnMal

Glad you feel better!!
Your description is similar to that of a congestion ,as may happen if you go to swim not too long after eating,...9 on 10 nothing happens but if happens in water is really dangerous .
Something similar may happen even if is hot but you get a flush of cold air in the adrenal.

I suffered much of backpain , i even have problems visible with x-rays if you PM your mail i may share something that really helped me (no chemicals... just a mp3 from my favourite sound Shaman )

@Erisian
i was not criticizing you in any way and i know well how is difficult don't worry if somebody so close feel ill

I will keep her in my prayers

Glad to see you're feeling better

I know you weren't criticizing PC. I know you better than that.

very nice Wallace, she will like that, especially the colours.

Thanks, I hope Anmal sees it.

wallace: i did see it - thank you very much, i really liked it - especially the colours, just like molly guessed .
k1tesseraena, jeanniem, merrak: thanks all of you for the messages.
i've had a lot of rest and if i don't feel any worse tomorrow i'll be back to work as usual on tuesday .

Good to see you posting again Anmal
