Positive thoughts and prayers sent amigo! Wishing you and your family the very best and keeping you always in my thoughts and prayers. As hard as it is, please do try to stay positive and expect a full recovery.
Prayers for @BrewinHooligan !! I had viral meningitis 8 years ago and was in the hospital for 8 days. Scared the crap out of me when all the nurses and doctors started wearing masks in my room. Then Centers for Disease control showed up and started asking me all kinds of questions. Don't be surprised if your arms get very sore from all the antibiotics. The good news is..."this too shall pass."
