[NFB-Lions] as of November 30.

[Judy Jones]

Hi,

I actually got it in the summer, light case, and recovered, but the symptoms make random bomb runs, otherwise healthy days in between, but have to reserve the energy and rest as part of the recovery.  I'm three months out.

Thanks so much for your kind wishes.

Judy
