So close!

I hesitate to mention this because it seems so whiney, but lo, I am sick again. rfunk, bless his heart, said he felt like he was coming down with something when visited me last weekend. By Saturday night we both felt sickly. Poor thing, he has it much worse than I. I just have a viral sore throat and runny nose. I'm drinking tons of water, taking

oh sweetie, you're not whiny! it's awful to be sick and sick and sick! we all grow so weary of it in our minds, bodies and spirits. i'll send any good vibes i can muster up your way (truly-- i "owe" some time at the altar and i'll include you)~

rest! it's the only way.
be well.

[duriyah]

Thank you. That's very sweet of you. :)

[rfunk]

I feel so bad for you, and for (probably) getting you sick.

Hope you don't get this chest infection too.... :-(

(trying to avoid the whiny myself)

sick

Well, you did or you didn't. We'll never know. It just sucks being sick again. If I'm lucky it'll be gone within a week.

I don't have the chest infection. If I don't exert myself I shouldn't get it. You are so much sicker than I am. I feel so sorry for you, too.

You have every right to whine.

Your icon is way too chipper for this comment :)

I was just thinking back to my doctor appointment today, and how at the time she couldn't hear any wheezing -- I was breathing fine, hardly even coughing -- losing me some credibility points.
Then I remembered your advice to singingwren about sitting up. And I realized I've been laying down all afternoon and evening.
So I sat up a little while ago, and I can breathe better now. (Still have a lot of the other stuff, most of which you probably have too.) Sleeping will be interesting.

I wonder if I have what she has....

Better icon?

Much more appropriate icon ;-)

Yeah, sitting up is very helpful. When I have lung congestion I pile pillows behind me to sleep in a reclined position. Actually I use the sitting-up-in-bed cushion, the one with arms. It works really well. I hope you don't have pneumonia. That sucks. When I had it I kept a cup by my bed as a spittoon. Nasty.

My symptoms haven't changed at all. Some sinus congestion that I'm treating with Claritin, and a mild-to-moderate sore throat. That and tiredness. That was worse yesterday. I slept better last night and I feel less tired this morning. We'll see how long that lasts.

Oh no! Sorry to hear you're sick again... sounds like how the last few months were for me. :/ It can be SO draining to have that sort of stuff just keep coming back. But I suppose it sure does make one appreciate the healthier times more!

Echinacea, zinc, honey, lemon balm, and lots of tea! Also- spicy foods!

Hopefully you feel better soon.

[duriyah]

Thank you :) It sure does make you appreciate wellness, doesn't it?

Echinacea, zinc, tea, and spicy food--check.

I should get some honey and lemon balm. I ran out of honey over the weekend.

Thanks for your good thoughts!

completely! *hugs* I'm sorry to hear you're sick again!!

re: hugs

[duriyah]

Thank you :)

It's disheartening after just having gotten well. Nothing like what's going on in your household though. I hope everyone gets well soon. *hugs*

Sorry to hear that the Sicks are visiting again. They are terrible houseguests and I hope that they leave very soon and vacation in Florida for a while. Feel better soon :)

Sickies

[duriyah]

Sadly, they are partially preventing ME from a vacation in Florida. I do hope they leave soon. Thanks for the well wishes!
