From Koko: Opening this thread, from posts in other threads, for off topic, general chat, just a place to while away the time when you're under the weather. Anyone who is suffering illness, feel better soon, and if you'd like a little down home CandyStriping.......Welcome.
I'm so sorry Randi. I have reached out to Glu again, with the info that the reboots aren't working for everyone. If I hear anything, I'll come back with it right away. I am sorry it's happening.
And, this sounds frivolous while people can't get the event points, but if I haven't made your Christmas gift graphic, please post a pic of your doll and I'll be happy to make yours.
I'm sorry for not responding to you earlier Koko, I'm in hospital due to my kinda out-of-control Crohn's Disease.
A little frivolity would truly brighten up my life:
I am tied up to tubes and wires and they put me in quarantine (so as to protect myself from other hospital patients' illnesses) and thus have little access to devices to conjure up a cool photo for you.
Enjoying (*so not*) a blood transfusion which is why I'm up at this insane hour.
So I will take you up on your next gift gesture, and don't think it goes unnoticed by me or anyone else how much you go out of your way to help everyone.
Wish me luck for the NYE event, maybe I will get super-lucky.
Again Koko, thank you.
Warmly,
Randi

I *love* that you were a candy-striper!!
Volunteers like you have been helping me since I was 11, you truly have my respect and admiration.:)
So...I'm still in hospital, in part 'cause my nephew visited while he had a sinus infection.
(Oh yeah you read that right.)
He and his family live in NYC but were in Toronto for the holidays; sadly no one told me he had started antibiotics the night before they arrived.
Don't get me wrong, I am grateful they wanted to see me, I just wish it had been handled differently.
Now I have an upper respiratory infection on top of a sinus infection on top of regular Crohn's business; I am spending much time trying to be zen about the whole thing.
I am here for a minimum of two more weeks, hopefully the antibiotics will rid me of this bacteria that requires me to use oxygen 24/7 and to inhale hospital-grade asthma masks every few hours to help with that breathing-thing.
Anyway, I really don't mean to be whiny, I am just frustrated and tired.
Though I don't know what you look like, I will forever imagine you in my mind's eye in a candy-striper dress.;)
Maybe I will take you up on your video offer in the next party thread...if you wouldn't mind?
I doubt your ideas are much (if any) stranger than mine so please, fire away dear Koko.
Yet again, I thank you for reading my meanderings.

But, back to you, an upper respiratory infection? Well, that begs for a video. Every see Guys and Dolls?
Feel better, and we're here for your amusement. I'll be back with a new link for you in a little bit.
ETA: Ok, I was 15, he was 22 and a nutjob. But what they say about a uniform is oh so true. It was a rush, so braking rules, and have military officers in hats with brass on them stopping 2 crazy chicks in mismatched uniforms stopping to shake our hands. I don't know I think they must have thought the hospital finally started using candy stripers, because everyone was happy to see us.
Tomorrow's amusing bigraphical anecdote is patient's choice. Would you like to hear about how I had a perfectly healthy apendix removed in order to pass a Chem and Algebra Regents exam?
Or, the story of spending the night hitchiking to and from Kennedy Airport, getting picked up by the same rentacops twice, and tricking travel weary Germans into driving us home, and ditching them on the streets of Suburban Long Island while my girlfriend and I ran through backyards to make our escape. I would have loved to stick around and see the look on my math teachers face, when 5 Germans rang her bell at 2:30 asking her where the girls were who were going to cook them steak dinners and party with them, but we made tracks to get to another neighborhood and continue our crazy night. Served her right for not being able to teach, and those Germans for picking up 15 year old girls in an airport. Welcome to New York.
Feeling better yet Randi?

So...I had a...setback...and am in ICU...lost a ton of blood and my body couldn't handle the shock.
I don't remember much, they kept me pretty sedated, but I ain't leavin' anytime soon.
Not supposed to have iPads and the like here, but a nurse is looking the other way, yay!!
I am a bit hysterical after finding out yesterday David Bowie died, I adore him and admire him and his body of art.
(interviewed him once, he was very yummy)
But a giant hole in the fabric of the world has been ripped away forever..."and the stars look very different today."
Are you a Bowie girl?
And then, holy moly, Alan Rickman died.
Fell in love with him in "Truly, Madly, Deeply" and "Sense a And Sensibility"... what a week!!
*sigh*
I must say I love the video you chose for me.
And your stories make me smile, those are indispensable when in hospital.
I don't know which tale to pick next, they are both so intriguing...which do you feel like sharing?
Oops, I got the look, gotta go.
Hope all is well in your life and the world of Glu.
Randi

But, back to you. any idea when you'll be getting out? I love David Bowie. He was a true chameleon. I absolutely fell in love with him through his music. I picture him and John Lennon singing in heaven.

Koko, I think this is a wonderful idea for a thread.:D
We all need some candy-stripe-ing when times are tough and as soon as I am out of my hospital-mess I too will check this thread everyday.
I am a very good listener and have years (and years) of experience with chronic illness (sick since I was 11) so I hope in the future I can be helpful to someone else.
We go through difficult times (that suck) to learn compassion, empathy, the value of life and how to be a better person; at least that's how I see it.
Thank you for your kind words BobbieM!!
I have read so many of your posts, I am just quite shy to jump into discussions, everyone here seems very friendly but I am afraid of interrupting.
I will most definitely take your vibes and thank you for the prayers, you are very sweet and thoughtful and I will not forget it.:D
Thanks again Koko.
(I will respond to your post shortly.)
Warmly,
Randi

I am feeling a bit better (finally!!) and there is talk of my going home Valentine's Day weekend.
I am very greateful to you Koko for setting time aside for me, you are a lovely human (that is one heck of a human in Randi-speak).
So...I am going to post in a thread where the conversation seems active...likely the weekend thread.
Wish me luck!!
p.s. Did I thank you for the Bowie & Lennon?
You totally blew my mind.
Merci beaucoup.:)
Do you have any other cool Bowie up your sleeve?
Hint, hint...wink, wink...?:D

So happy you're getting out soon. How are you feeling? Being discharged is one thing, feeling all better is another. And when you get out, be careful that you don't overdo things when you get out.
This is the version with the hospital, Kings Park Psychiatric, but there is a really weird one. here
Gotta Love the Fuzztones Anyway, it was Hospital themes and a fun little number. My fave it the 2nd one I just linked. Very bizarre.

This is such a nice idea for a thread. Sometimes when you're under the weather you don't feel like chatting much but just to leave a message for everyone can really brighten your day if you're not feeling yourself.
I'm sending my best wishes to Twofangs and everyone else who has posted in this thread. I hope you get well soon.
I haven't played my Kkh game for weeks now! I think I my start again this weekend event if I'm up to it. I just noticed there's a new update! I can't wait to look at that thread and see all the new clothes etc.
Hope everyone is well. Virtual hugs (from myself and Madison!) Xo

I was wondering what happened to you. I noticed that your doll wasn't changing clothes, and I hoped you hadn't quit. I hope you continue to feel better!

We missed you. So glad you're back, the update is something special. In my opinion, the highlight is that your hubby can start paying for the occasional date, and you will now get gifts. So far, I've gotten earrings, a ring, and I know a gorg plum dress in in my future. So, that's big. Rest, take it easy, and ease back into the swing of things.

Yeah, that outfit that Madison was wearing for weeks definitely needs a trip to the dry cleaners lol!
OMG, our spouses can take us on dates? Finally! That's amazing.
I'm sooooo lucky, I thought for sure the husband would have divorced my doll but luckily the place she was when I last played was Oak. I just opened my game and straight away called him for a date and there was no divorce call! HOW LUCKY?! I haven't played in weeks.
Also loving the new new clothes from this update! Especially the grey coat
