Hello all Movie Studio Zen Forum members.

It's the end of winter here in Australia and there have been many viruses infecting people - I am one of those people.
I have had a bad run of health problems for the last 3 months and been feeling very unwell. One thing after the other hit me.
Just when I thought everything was OK again, 4 weeks ago I picked up a mutant strain of RS virus (known as RSV), which severely weakened me again, and then I got a drug resistant infection that took forever to die. Now I have a persistant cough and it hurts like hell, everytime I cough.

I am very sorry for not posting a message before now. I should have done things differently, but can't change that now.
I don't ever remember feeling this ill for so long.

Spring is now here and it's warming up again. I will reply to all the unaswered messges over the coming week and attempt to get back to normal as soon as possible.

I am very sorry for ghosting everyone.

Regards
Derek (MSZ-Derek)

Thanks Derek.  We were getting worried.

Across the ditch I'm just getting over my second unwell spell both involving a nasty cough.  The first was the worst cough I've had in my 80 plus years.  It was violent.

Hi Derek.
I'm abit late but sorry tor read about your health issues. Hope you are starting to feel better soon!

And hi Eric too. As it happens, I've been more or less under the weather myself as well for several months now. I've tried to follow the Vegas forums' discussions regularly, but haven't been able to be too active even on the Bfx. (And yet, I'm still a few months under 80...) Glad to see you're working hard there still :)
