Twitter: Get Well Cards 2.0
So, I spent last night in the hospital, where I found out I have a UTI (don’t get any ideas, it isn’t from what you’re thinking) and a kidney infection in my left kidney.
When I tweeted this last night, I had no idea I would receive such an outpouring of kindness, concern and get-well wishes from my friends and followers. Waking up in the middle of the night and seeing your messages made me feel almost as good as the Percocet did. Really, it was heartwarming. There is no way I could ever properly thank you all.
Last night and today, Twitter was my mailbag of get well cards, minus the cheesy artwork and envelopes. And the best part about these “cards” is that they’ll never get lost or thrown out. I was really blown away by how many people reached out just to say they were thinking of me. Below is just a smattering of goodness (edited together very poorly) from some of the wonderful, caring people in my Twitter network:

We’re all just glad you’re feeling a lot better!
And thank you for linking to my Twitter… maybe I’ll get more followers, woohoo!

Glad to see you are feeling better. No need to fear the hospital… well except for the endless insurance paperwork, drug resistant bacteria, mediocre institutional food, random out-of-date periodicals… come to think of it, hospitals are terrifying!
Amanda!!!
I’m so sorry you had to go through that, but as evidenced by your post, well wishes can go a long way. Glad to hear you’re feeling better.

Any chance of a rockstar rebound to still make Blogger Social?
Oh please, J-Wol. You think a little kidney infection could stop me from coming to Blogger Social? No way. I’ll be there!
Glad to “see” you home. My ex-wife had a few UTI’s and I saw how painful they can be. Hope you are 100% soon and here’s wishing you a great day!
Best wishes,

Twitter never ceases to amaze me, especially the people. There is a plethora of info on the bad “seeds” out there on the nightly news, but despite that I seem to be continuing to uncover some great people. Glad you’re feeling better!!
Ak, I totally missed this somehow! Sorry to hear that you were sick, but very glad you’re feeling better now. As others have said, take it easy on yourself today, no need to rush back to 100%.
Hope you continue to get better. Glad you went home early today!
So glad you’re okay. Get well. We need a healthy social honeycomb.
Hope you get well soon!
Get well. The Queen Bee in this social honeycomb cant be ill.
[…] I told John Wall, a little kidney infection isn’t stopping me from showing up at Blogger Social, which is only a week away now. I plan […]
