whitt, you're not alone. i've been sick, too. mostly depression-induced. i couldn't get away from my house without falling ill, either. thank god, i still have others to think about other than myself - my hubby and our 4 pets. pets are really good therapy (i have one dog and 3 cats). there are times when i want to clear my head, and walking can help, but walking makes me sick and feeling really horrendous. particularly in the hot weather. so, i don't go out to walk. i know it's a bummer not being able to go out without getting sick. the internet is definitely a boon for those of us who are homebound. we welcome your posts.
