I have been away for a few weeks now. I missed the blog. But it could not be helped .Lets see now, I’ve been busy. Very busy- being ill! After a bout of high fever and asthmatic cough right after Ramadan- I was afflicted by general weakness. Only, the vertigos seemed to last forever and my backache prevented me from sitting on hard surfaces!! My lower back was in bad bad shape. Of course the fast that I looked like someone who was in her last days goes without saying. My skin has gone real bad!!

I have been taking vitamins, calcium and iron for the past few weeks and have had calcium and multivitamins injected! My doc advised me not to get iron injected because that is supposed to really painful and I am weak as it is!!

Yumna is now on bottled milk! It could not be helped. My appetite had all gone and she wanted a lot of milk. One of the reasons for my weakness was this.

I have improved, yes. The back ache is there- but only a small percentage of it. I have started eating well again- and I have been suppressing the anorexic in me that keeps warning me I’m gaining weight! It doesn’t matter- it doesn’t matter- it doesn’t… lol! That is what it has been like for me!

It was so bad at one stage that I went and stayed with mom for a week. That is an amazing thing about moms, no? They are always there for you. No matter how old you get! Thanks, mom. Love you. :)
