No scarring, not signs of any growths or other abnormalities. But the I had one helluva surprise a few weeks later ( Read more... )

Still recovering from upper respiratory infection. I don't mind taking the antibiotics, but that steroid inhaler makes everything taste funny, even if I rinse and brush ( Read more... )

But I went from a chest ripping, rib cracking, choking cough that needed antibiotics and a steroid inhaler, to a nagging ‘get that crap up and out’ cough that leaves me just as exhausted.

On the ‘silver lining’ aspect: Wing and Alan are out of the house, having lunch with MiL. I’m having a bit of peace and quiet, and no helicoptering.

Fever spiked in that way that no matter how many blankets on the bed, or how thick jammies and sock are, it feels cold. Woke up in desperate need of a shower. :p Felt better afterward.

Fixed a tisane of Turkish apple.

Aikidomayland is feeling much better, and I am using him to gauge my recovery. He is at this moment making a medicinal Asian ( Read more... )

Kinda feverish, headache from the coughing. Yes, been keeping hydrated ( Read more... )

Aikidomayland forgot that I told him the only thing I wanted returned from Africa trips is himself, and maybe chocolate ( Read more... )
