THE SICK ROOM
http://www.museumsnett.no/nasjonalgalleriet/munch/eng/img/bilder/00940.jpg
By Edward Munch

Do you feel as lousy as I do today? It started last Sunday, when I woke up with aching glands on the right side of my throat. Now it appears to be working it's way into a full-blown case of sinus infection... yuck! So I sit here with my rapidly depleting box of tissues, eating the homemade chicken noodle soup, drinking lots of water with the advil, and swigging the expectorant. But, still, no fever. Should I wait for a fever to go to the doctor?

This crud is affecting my thoughts and my attitude... in other words, I feel like hell. I hope I haven't gotten on anyone's nerves in the past day or two. Lord, I am so ready to be done with this nasty cold.

If anyone else feels the need to rest up, by all means, join me. There are extra beds, blankets, a bottomless pot of Mom's chicken noodle soup, and all the tissues you could possibly utilize in one months time. Bring your family, your friends, your lover or your favorite pet to curl up with too if you like. Just don't pass the germs!

So bring on the hot tea, the get-well cards and the posies... the friends that you come to visit here will surely appreciate them.

Let's trade old fashioned remedies too, your Grandma's poultice just may do the trick for somebody here!
 
Crawling under a blanket with a fresh box of tissues... hoping someone will bring some good ideas on how I can start feeling better pretty soon here.

:(
 
Sounds to me like you should be in bed, instead of sitting in front of that computer, beautiful.

As for your behavior, it's been as beautifully twisted as ever.

Arden - I hope you get to feeling better. I think the best thing to do is just get some rest and ride it out. You might want to call the doctor and see if they can give you a prescription or something. You have good vibes coming your way from me if that helps any. If your lover was there maybe you could sweat it out. hehe. I am not feeling real good myself so I am heading to bed myself. Hope you feel better in the morning.
 
Oh yes, I could help you sweat it out, that's for sure. ~wicked grin~

Hope you feel better too, toni!

:rose: :rose:
 
Arden don't wait to go to the doctors.....I did and I have pnumonia....so I am taking the next bed to you.......all I am doing is sleeping.....tired of being tired......Plus the chest hurts alot.....so no don't ever wait if you are not better in a few days after a cold starts get yourself to the doctors......back to me I go...hell.

Hugs n kisses hope you feel better.:kiss:

Thanks, Toni... I appreciate your note!

I guess I feel silly going to the doctor when I'm not running a fever yet. But I do plan on it if this drags out more than a few days.

You know, I got a flu shot a week or two ago - wouldn't you know I'd come down with this crud instead! LoL...

I hope you feel better in the morning too!

Welcome, Angel! It's so nice to have some company here!

I know what you're going through, I got pneumonia once while I was in college. I didn't even feel sick until about mid-day, and then got so weak and dizzy that I left class. At the doctor's that afternoon, he did a chest x-ray, and sent me straight to the hospital... where they gave me the wrong antibiotic for two days (viral vs. bacterial pneumonia) I drifted in and out of high fevers until they figured out why I wasn't getting better. :rolleyes:

I think I spent four days in the hospital... and you know how hospital food is! Yuck! I seem to remember cold fake mashed potatoes and jello for some reason.

I hope you start feeling better soon too!

It's a psychological thing. "Look good, feel good"...
But, if you'd like, I'm sure I could find some old flannel pj's around here somewhere! :D
 
Get Well Soon Arden!!!


I hope you start to feel better soon girly!!! :rose:

Here's a blanket, Cookie... You've gotta love the little darlings when they bring home this kind of stuff, and wind up passing it on to us. Of course, when Mom's sick, almost nothing gets done... ;)

Let me know when some hot tea or chicken soup sounds good, OK?
:rose:
 
Just stopping in....

....to check on all of you who are feeling under the weather.

Hope you all feel better soon... no special recipes to share yet, just lots of extra tissues for you and warm thoughts going your way. May you all feel better soon!

(seeing you are all women, who are sick, maybe I should change my handle to "the weather" !!!) ;)


Hugs to you all.
 
*Walks over to the other bed where there is still a lifesize lump under the blanket*

Good Morning, Angel... how are you feeling today? :)

Calling Dr Feelgood

Hoping everyone feels better today...
Especially, one in particular...



GOOD DAY SUNSHINE
(Lennon / McCartney)

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

Then we lie beneath a shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she know she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

:rose: :heart: :devil: :rose: :kiss:
 
Thanks for the song, Soron...
You did brighten this place up just a little. :rose:

I think I'm going to stay here in bed most of the day...
:(

You need protein....
Eat lots of rare meat....
stay away from sweets...
Don't get flue shots....
Build up your imune system with good foods instead...
eat lots of fresh fruit....
When u are feeling better have more good food and more sex then more good food again....
It is the quick fix that is killing us....
don't kiss strangers on the mouth....
stay away from crowds....
