Hello, from eastern Canada

You will get better every week, month that passes. Just enjoy resting, reading, watching tv or whatever....keep us posted.

Hi Hal,
I'm sure that with an attitude like that you will do fine, but bare in mind that these are early days for you and it is going to be a long journey with a few ups and downs along the way. I'm not so sure that I would go along with your sentiments of fighting the disease and beating it, Wegener's is too tricky to respond to that sort of thing and just might turn around and bite you! Perhaps a better way is to allow yourself some slack so that your body can recover and have energy left for healing. This may involve a certain amount of acceptance of your condition, but is a long way from any idea of giving up. It is more a case of acknowledging what is happening and then working out the best course of action to minimise the harm and speed the recovery.

Crikey Jack are you some wise old sage or what! I think I will copy this quote down and post it on my kitchen wall as my maxim for life!

Ditto to what Jack said.

Elephant, yup taking it easy is the thing to do.

Jack, wise words indeed. Thank you so much.
