sunrise 0 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Hi Markie, Sounds like you had a great trip, and yes, hopefully I'll be around next time you come this way. How's your friend doing? Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 Thank you for your concern. Tne number of news SARS patients every day has gone down to single digits now. I am still quite healthy though I still have a sick mind. My friend is still in a serious condition but thankfully he has not had to return to the ICU ward. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Glad to hear Hong Kong is slowing down.... Hope your friend recovers well. As for your sick mind.... hmmm.... maybe there's nothing anyone can do for that. I assume it's not contagious, but at any rate I may wear a mask if or when I finally meet you one day.....

Markie 0 Posted May 10, 2003 Author Share Posted May 10, 2003 Fantastic news. My doctor friend, the Head of the I.C.U. at one of our major public hospitals who got infected with SARS whilst treating patients there, is well enough to be discharged from hospital tomorrow. His close brush with death has left him nearly 10 kilos lighter. He will never be 100% again, but he is completely out of the woods now. Joy and celebrations! Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Great news, Markie, thanks for letting us know. Tell him we were all rooting for him.... Hmmm, I guess he won't go back to work in the SARs ward... Why won't he ever be 100% again? Link to post Share on other sites

Markie 0 Posted May 10, 2003 Author Share Posted May 10, 2003 Thanks all, for your supports. He will never be 100% again because, as in all SARS sufferers, the virus attacks and destroys part of the lung, most of which will not be able to regenerate again. They will always be a little short of breath in the future and incapable of physical exertion. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Then i really dont want sars period. always a little out of breath would put a clamp in any climbing activities Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Although it is a bummer that his lungs wont ever be 100% again, it is a lot better than death. Every cloud has a silver lining! Link to post Share on other sites
