I still have this silly old cold and it is not showing any sign that it is on it’s way out of town. In fact today, I actually fell asleep, under two blankets in my chair, with a dackel on top! I slept like that for two hours and when I woke to find Arnie sitting on me, I almost had to laugh. You know, I’m not sure if he was trying to heal me or hatch me!
I poured juices and teas down my aching throat and managed to make my meals during the day. Hubby was off skiing, and in some ways this was better. It was quiet and I was able to just relax.
Besides the usual aches, and pains and stuffiness of the cold, I have had the added bonus of feeling really exhausted. My legs feel like jello and ears keep popping.
Oh I know, I am totally whining here, and I promise today is the last day I will do that! I can honestly say I haven’t had a really tough cold like this in a couple of years. So I guess that’s why it’s getting me down!
Did it come on gradually ove 1-2 days or hit you in a few hours like a ton of bricks. If all of a sudden it could be flu. Gradual is a cold. Treat the symptoms, go to MD if severe congestion or shortness of breath. Take care of yourself, my friend.
Did you have a flu shot this year? So much is out there right now it seems…my daughter was up with a stomach bug last night…I’m really hoping it is short lived. And not contagious! Feel better soon!
So sorry you don’t feel well. I love the picture!!! Get well quick!!! I’d take that over the T.U. bug any day though, I know you would too! Still none of it is any fun. Love YOU, Mel
Dave’s got it too 🙁
Feel better soon!
It’s okay to whine. No one likes being sick. Hope you feel better soon.
Oh not he never ending colds are the worst – the best thing is exactly what you did – rest and liquids (and dackel love of course!)
