My GF died of Swine Flu email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (3081)   ranked 119 out of 38,209 in life1 month ago

I've been in shock from the end of last week. My GF who arranged for all of us to go on vacation on the cruise ship has died of H1N1 virus.
We met in NY the day before we sailed and stayed in a hotel downtown Manhattan.

In the evening we all went as a group to a Chinese Restaurant in China Town and had a fantastic time. My GF's aunt who also came on the cruise paid for all of us. I had never experienced having 12 course Chinese meal before and it was a wonderful beginning to the holiday.

She became ill on the second day of our vacation and stayed in her cabin and her husband took care of her. We begged her to go to the ship's doctor but she refused. When we returned to NY she looked the sickest thing that I had ever seen on 2 legs.
She lives in Florida so we said our goodbyes in NY.

Two days later she was admitted to Intensive Care and then she went on life support. Her body was not responding to antibiotics at all. She kept writing on a pad that she was dying and we all have been praying for her. Actually I worked out today that I have prayed for her for 14 years since she was first diagnosed with cancer.

I keep thinking that I am 7 years older than her but I expect her immune system was shot.

Do you know anyone who has caught the H1N1 virus?

BTW I am back to almost square one and not receiving notifications etc.

I am so sorry. The Swine Flu is a definite scary thing! So many have passed because of it, and it's so scary to hear about it! If she was on the ship when she started feeling sick, or wait it was after eating Chinese? If it was on the ship, I could see where people might think it's seasickness...

They say it's the young and old who die of it...

Sorry about the notifications!


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (3081)   ranked 119 out of 38,209 in life  1 month ago

Thanks sweetie. I think she got it in NY because we did all go out and around Manhattan and in and out of shops too. I think she got it in NY or in flying in from Florida. I don't really know. Haven't received any notifications on your posts fr about 6 weeks. when I get the time I try to hunt a few friends down to see what they have posted. I did not expect her to die.


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8116)   ranked 2,447 out of 38,209 in life  1 month ago

If she had had cancer in the past my only guess is that it really messed with her immune system. I am sure it was a shock for all involved. I just hope her husband is doing okay.

Just take your time with everything, I don't know why you aren't getting the notifies, maybe it somehow toggled off on notifies?


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (3081)   ranked 119 out of 38,209 in life  4 weeks ago

what is even more wierd is tht I am getting notifications from pele who are not on my list of friends! And now my star has dropped!


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8116)   ranked 2,447 out of 38,209 in life  4 weeks ago

I do not know if I have been getting any notifications from non friends or not! There was one notification that I had gotten that I thought the person wasn't on my friends list but I haven't checked to see either! The star rating, earnings not being updated, well it's all fixed now! Except for the notifies?

Oh my. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am speechless. This is really sad. I hope you are coping and recovering with your loss. I don't know anyone who has had the H1N1 virus. It's a scary disease.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (3081)   ranked 119 out of 38,209 in life  1 month ago

This is up close and in my face. I am still in shock.

I hope that it gets better given time.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (3081)   ranked 119 out of 38,209 in life  1 month ago

I am this way with shock. I honestly thought that my many night vigils of prayers would help her to get better. I will have to process the information. I go like this when I am shocked. It takes me a while

I'm sorry to hear that.

I don't know if I've known anyone with the swine flu. A friend of mine said her son had it, one doctor said he did, but another doctor said he didn't, so we're not really sure. He made a full recovery though.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (3081)   ranked 119 out of 38,209 in life  1 month ago

I keep saying to myself that we went on holiday - as if that ws any prevention. She was from J.A. but of Chinese origin and she only weighed about 85 lbs. I am happy that your friend's son got well though.

My condolences.;-(

There have been some cases on H1N1 here in Sacramento, so it's here. I don't know anybody personally who has had it though.

I'm getting bombarded with notifications, getting caught up slowly. Would you like some of mine?:-)
