I've been sick for a week (actually day *) with asthmatic-bronchitis my old nemesis.  I haven't had it for a few years now but it's progress is familiar.  I'm not coughing much in the night so it's not a hideous bout of it. Just tedious dull ( Read more... )

I'd be willing to attend one of the southern hemisphere Xmas in July events.  (Being our winter ( Read more... )

Today I was too wheezly to go to faerie_mistress  and play at costume sewing (my lungs would strongly say no to cats or ciggies).  Seeing as most days this I've come home from work for a nap, I want to start the year being kind to my body.

Anyhoo, I avoided having a 2nd coffee and trotted downstairs to The Grotto to do some tidying up and cutting out.  (sidebar: I ( Read more... )

yeah the bronchitis isn't bad, but I'm over it already.   I woke up at 2.30am this morning coughing & soaked in sweat.  I had to change my pjs, and I was too had it to change the bedding.  Woke up another 4 or 5 times to cough 'productively'.

Oh and before I went to bed I had to use the gravity drainage method, cos I just couldn't get enough ( Read more... )

today I choofed on the train out to Liverpool to see what that Spotlight had to offer on their first day of sales .... as well as meet a friend for coffee & lunch.  It was very much a damp squib of a day. Added to which half way through the day I realised that I had a high temperature.  No other symptoms but hotter than hotter than Hades,  But then ( Read more... )

So I'm on week 8 of chinese herbs & accupuncture, motivated by my general poor health over the past 15 months.  Oh, and also to better deal with allergies to aussie plants that has given me asthmatic bronchitis every year but 1 since I moved here ( Read more... )

peeps at work stand & stare when I start coughing, cos I sound like a 10 pack a day smoker.  In fact writing that I realise how few people I hear coughing away like that these days from the ciggies ( Read more... )

Last night I went of my nosebag, and realised that if my abdominal muscles hurt when I coughed, that my lungs felt the same.  So, for the first time for an August my allergy response had slipped over the line to bronchitis. Usually it's November, but then again after 6-7 years drought, when we've had some rain a broad range of plants will be ( Read more... )

Last night the linen overdress got to the halfway point. Excluding seam finishing which won't take long as if I belt it through my 2-thread overlocker. Now I'm thinking of edgestitching the seams, to keep them sitting nicely, and I did think of flat fell seaming it too - which negates the need to overlock. However I'll need to decide which ( Read more... )

Well the bronchitis hasn't completely gone, and I'm sooooooo over it by now. Seeing as I moved to having a temperature and a rattly chest without a productive cough,.I went to the Dr and am on antibiotics so it doesn't "progress further". Which is code for pneumonia isn't too far off if we don't do something NOW.

I toddled to the sewing Guild ( Read more... )
