...and the plot thickens!!!

Hey everyone! How u doin'? I'm ok, a bit tired. The counts are dropping which makes me tired, plus all the other extras on the side... ya3ni, hamdilla, but it ain't so easy! I was so tired late last night, that I fainted in the toilet!!! It was only for a couple of seconds, but poor Wiss had the scare of his life. My blood pressure had dropped... mashi el 7al.
Today, I lay low a bit, watched a bit of TV, slept some... but also managed to get a platelet transfusion and a bit of a fever after that, which made the doctors start me on antibiotics! Yalla, a7san, this way I'm well protected.
Today was chicken soup day, and yest was carrot and potato. I also discovered that I could drink milkshake, so I had a choc one yest and a strawberry one today. Not bad!
Tayyeb, yalla, I'm off to bed.
later dudes!

Habibit albi,
So sorry to hear what you are going thru .. but also glad things are under control and you are in good hands. Rest as much as possible and this will pass soon enough. It will be all worth it at the end. You will be all better and this will be just a memory.
My thoughts and prayers with you always.

Dearest Hala, so sorry to hear you feeling low, but good spirits and God will take care of the rest. You just take it easy and let the time slide by until you feel better.

Poor baby, salamet albek - I hope you will decide to stay off your feet for a few more hours every day and try to relax more. I know it's hard for you, but resting is a big part of healing. Habibti, I wish you a restful night and a good day tomorrow. Love you and thinking of you.

To commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.

One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favorite Things" from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music".

Here are the lyrics she used:

Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts ,and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache,
When the hips break,
the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores.)
