cf737 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hello, I hope everyone is well. A few days ago I fell very ill with the flu, it could be H1N1, they don't know for sure yet. I've had a really high fever among all the normal flu symptoms - but my gosh, I've never had such symptoms with such severity! Anyway, I'm slowly getting better with each day, it's just taking an awfully long time. The worst thing isn't even that I'm sick - it's that I've had to stay away from Darwin! I called my vet and told her what was going on and she highly recommended that I stay away from her. My mum will bring her downstairs to hang around on her tree and in the family room - but she keeps coming upstairs to see me. My mum then has to come and get her and take her away. And even if I close my door, she comes to the door and sits outside it, saying "Peeboooo" and "Hi Darwin" in a very sad little voice. It is really tearing me up! She spends upwards of 5 hours a day with me, and while she's very good with my mum it's clear she'd rather be where I am. I don't know how much longer I can hold out on this! Thanks for listening, it's really just driving me crazy! (PS sorry this should probably be in a different room....:blush: ) <br><br>Post edited by: cf737, at: 2009/11/14 23:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'm so sorry you are sick and have to be quarantined from Darwin. It won't last long and you will healthy enough to be back with her again. Take good care of yourself and try a few whistles or flock calls to tell her you are in there and okay. That seems to satisfy Java when I spend long days in the sewing room when it is too dangerous for her to play in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Oh so sorry you are ill Cassandra. I hope you are feeling better soon. Poor Darwin must be worried about his loving parront! Sometimes it hurts to do the right thing, but you are, you don't want Darwin sick too. It won't be long just relax and get lots of sleep and fluids. What a great picture of Darwin!!!! Take care! We are here to keep you companion!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 It does take a while to recover fully from flu but katana is right, just let Darwin know you are nearby and try not to rush yourself back to full health or work. Darwin will be there ready and waiting for you when you are fully recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearllyn Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Sorry to hear you're poorly, but you're doing the right thing! Do you have or could you maybe borrow like a 2way intercom so you and Darwin can still have conversations? It might help you both to deal with the separation. Great Picture too. Feel better soon. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I am so sorry to hear you are sick but how sweet that Darwin wants to be with her mommy but you are doing the right thing even though it hurts. I hope you get well soon so you and Darwin can be together, its obvious that she loves you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cf737 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks so much guys, I know I'll be back on my feet soon enough with all your support! I am feeling better, slowly. I really don't remember a time I was so sick - I'm glad I'm over the "hump" and am on my way to recovery! Darwin seems to be doing better too, she only came up to my room twice today - probably because my mum set up her movable office in the family room to keep her company. Lol is she spoiled or what? :laugh: Thanks a lot for all your kind words! The forum is indeed keeping me company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules1962 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 So glad your feeling better flu is an awful thing]to recover from. I had swine flu last september and had to stay away from my two, and that broke my heart too. Especially when i could hear Casper shouting me, but i soon got better and we were together again. I bet Darwin will make a proper big fuss of you when she sees you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cf737 Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thank you all so much for your kind words and support, I really appreciate it. A few days ago I got the clear to see Darwin again from my vet and my doctor - so I'm very happy, and so is she! I am feeling almost back to 100%, just the cough is persisting. But it all seems to go away now that I can see little Darwin again! It just goes to show you, I think, how much they really change your life - even though I've only had her for about 8 months! Thanks again, everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckobird Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi Cassandra, glad to hear you are feeling better! I have a question though.. why couldn't Darwin be near you? My vet told me birds can't get sick from humans? Is this not true?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
