Hmmm, a recent (6 months ago) X-ray showed a swelling on the rib bones where they healed so I guess I will be scarred for life. Other than that, I too chuckle at the thought of it. Scarring for life?

I was on the toilet (I made it in time) and was about to lean over the bath when I passed out. I figured I was out for about 10 minutes and woke up in a mess. Cleaned myself up and the bathroom and for a few days, I had a really sore chest (on the right, not the left so I figured it wasn't a heart issue). I went to my doctor and it appears that when I passed out, I landed on my ribs and cracked two of them. I took several months before they felt fine again. Having sick kids is terrible, especially when they are young like yours Robert: you feel helpless, they cry because they don't feel well and there isn't a lot you can do.

I am pretty sure mine would do the same but you really never know until you are in that spot. Depending on old your daughter is she will never remember that she missed the first snow fall, but will prob remember the first one at 4-6 years old.

Recently, near (and nearer) to where we live there have been recurring outbreaks of e-coli in primary schools, which even resulted in a 5 year old boy dying in hospital due to kidney failure. So I was more than a little worried when the nursery phoned on Thursday to say my youngest son (3 in December) was throwing up everywhere and needed to be collected as soon as possible. Thankfully, he wasn't sick again and although a little off-colour and requiring a few more hugs than usual (the only benefit), has recovered quickly and my worst fears were just that, fears. I hope you and your family get well as quickly, take care :) Oh man, I feel for you - been there, done that, got the vomit stained tee shirt.

The BBC site says there are between 60,000 and one million cases of WVD in England every year. Not the "60% of gut infections" I stated above.

Such illnesses and symptoms are miserable and can make one feel desperate and anxious - so it is right to talk about it. I checked the BBC website health pages - WVD accounts for 60% of gut infections in the UK; is very easily caught (even from small drops of vomit in the air!). The only cure seems to be rest, warmth and drinking plain fluids. Take care. Well, I hope you start feeling better soon.
