I got this lingering cough. I think my kids had the flu, so we haven't been out of the house since Thanksgiving. When I think we gave it to my inlaws. For the first few days I was trying to eat better, but I've decided to chuck it all and have some oreos. Though I am still taking vitamins more regularly than I normally do.

Me too! I think I caught Drive By's sinus infection yesterday, only it went all through my body like some new biological weapon, and for a while there I didn't think either of us was going to make it. We both have survived so far, though.
I feel much better but am trying to gather enough energy to actually get dressed and go to the store to get some Ensure and Diet Coke. Drive By was sneezing constantly and felt terrible, but Dr. George came to see her again today and gave her a long acting anti-biotic shot, so hopefully she'll get well now too. If only there were human doctors as good as Dr. George who will come to your house to look after you.

Two weeks of a horrible case of bronchitis finally ended. I thought I was in the clear. Then, two days later, BAM! Now I've got the cold from hell.
Warm wishes to all you other sick folk. Though, I don't think anyone wants my infected wishes right now.

We've got plenty of beds, Annie and Anna! Take your pick, take a nap. We've got books and magazines in the far corner if you're bored, and we're catching up on our LotR before RotK, with FotR-EE on the tv. Yummy hotness from any random character cheers people up all the time.
Who wants something to drink? We've got tea, water, ginger ale and Sprite. And some yummy chicken broth if you're hungry.

I'll take some of that tapioca, please.
I think my cold + sinusitis is on its way out (it had darn well better be), but I couldn't fall asleep last night. So now I'm tired and trying to kick my cold.
Tapioca sounds like just the thing. Comfort foods are wonderful. *sighs happily*

Also there is hot chocolate here for those of you who want a warm drink that isn't tea.

I have a sinus infection. I didnt go to school yesterday or today. I spent 2 hours and 45 minutes waiting to see the doctor yesterday, and still didnt get to see him. Today I had to wait until 2:30pm for the doctor to call my house and ask me what symptoms I had, then he said he'd call CVS and have them get me some anti-biotics.
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
I'm recovering from the flu. I work third shift, so I sleep during the day. Well, Monday through Wednesday, I slept straight through until it was time to go back to work. Then Wednesday night, after I got to work, the chills and body aches began and got worse and worse. They let me go at 4am. I went home, put on a sweatshirt and pj pants, threw a sleeping bag over my blanket and comforter, and spent the next six hours awake with fever, chills, headache, body aches, waiting for the fever to break. The most miserable six hours I've had in a very long time. Now I'm taking it easy at a friend's house even though I should be at work. It's so nice to have a job with sick time.
Now that I'm through whining, my sympathies to all the other sick people.

Last night I was so sick I didn't even want to post on Hatrack :gasp:. I watched TV instead. I had the aches and fatigue. I guess I should go take more vitamins now.
