We almost lost EN last week

[southernlady]

She had been complaining of a migraine type headache, fever, etc for over a week. Finally went in to the ER an insisted on a CT or MRI. They found an infectious mass in her brain. Two surgeries later, she is in a rehab hospital learning how to care for herself all over again. All because of a dental infection that migrated to her brain. She will be in rehab at least thru September.

I do have an address if you’d like to mail a card to her.

Holy cow! I'm glad you let us know. I'd like to send her a card. I think you have my email address, let me know if not, or a guess a conversation would work. Whatever is easiest for you.
And to everyone, take good care of your teeth! I'd say a brain abscess from poor dentition isn't common, but this can also lead to heart disease, lung disease or infection, and some forms of cancer.

She’s been keeping up with her dental visits, not sure what actually caused this one.

She wears frontal dentures so she keeps it up.

southernlady I used to know her name, but that was a long time and a bunch of brain cells ago. Please pm me. Thanks!

in that case, it's scary what can happen.

I was thinking about her a few days ago. It was interesting to read her posts. She did not suffer fools gladly or any other way. I wish her well.

Oh no. So glad she is recovering. I am saddened by this news and wish her the best. Whenever I think of her, huckleberries come to mind!

Her huckleberry milkshakes, OMG. The way she told it, you couldn’t help but laugh.

 

[southernlady]

To add insult to injury, she now has Covid.

 

[navygrrl]

Oh no! How scary and awful. And also frustrating that she had to insist on a scan.

 

[Larra]

Well, that sucks. I hope she's getting all the care she needs.

I mentioned adding zinc, D, and C, but she mentioned having trouble getting extra supplements so this morning I sent a care package her way with those items.

 

[JackieOnLine]

you are such a good person, Liz!

I'm sorry to hear that.
