the sick thread

[LSK]

Cough cough, sneeze sneeze, wheres that kleenex...

Yet another day with the cold from hell! :grr:

Who else is suffering?

[Call Me Wesley]

1. Meph.

Now my teeth are starting to hurt ... Ack.

[Heidi]

9. Chicken soup.

That's what _you_ need. :loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

12. I'll be there in an hour.

:loveya:

Check your PM.

[Heidi]

13. Smarty-pants.

Bring kisses. I'm immune now by now. :evilgrin:

:loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

15. But

you have a fever blister! :scared:

[Heidi]

17. I said, "I'm immune." I didn't say,

"You're immune." Further, there are other places you can kiss me, smarty-pants.

[Call Me Wesley]

18. It's beer-fifteen, good idea!

:woohoo: :sniffle:

[Heidi]

19. Don't make me open this can!

[kick-ass-bob]

2. my wife.

the same damned nasty stomach bug I had last week.

7. I'd rather have _anything_ than a stomach virus.

Healing vibes to your wife, bob, and protection to you. :pals:

[tigereye]

3. mine's pretty much done

yes, it was truly evil. You have my sympathy. Everyone in my family had some version of it.

[Heidi]

11. Did you have a cold, flu, or stomach virus?

I _know_ that I caught my hideous cold in one of two places: the doctor's office, where I went _only_ to get a referral, or on the bus ride home (surrounded by coughing, sneezing, dribbly-nosed elementary school students).

I'm glad you're feeling better, tigereye. Did I ever tell you that "tigereye" is my favorite stone. My mala is tigereye, and I wear a tigereye bracelet on my left wrist. :) Excellent username. :thumbsup:

[tigereye]

26. I had the cold

I was fortunate that I, and the rest of my family, missed out on the stomach virus. :scared:

Thanks! I picked tigereye partly due to a Yang style taichi move, return tiger to mountain, and partly because of tigereye agate, which I think is so pretty. :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

4. I had food poisoning last night.

:grr:

I puked at work...and that sucked.

I'm feeling much better today...thank god...

[Heidi]

6. Good vibes comin' your way, Fox Mulder.

A couple of people and a wonderful cat in southern Switzerland care about you. :hug:

[Fox Mulder]

8. Thanks Heidi...

I'm glad someone does. I've been wondering if anyone has lately...(pre-Valentine's Day depression)

:hug: :pals: :)

[Heidi]

10. Sweetie, if a Valentine would make you feel better,

PM me your mailing address, and you'll get one (though it won't likely be there on 14 Feb.) :hug: :pals:

[Heidi]

5. Come to us for chicken soup, my friend.

Call Me Wesley's cold is hitting him hard, just as I'm recovering, so this afternoon, I made a big pot of homemade chicken soup: four giant chicken breasts (shredded), homegrown bay leaves, celery, organic oregano and rosemary, white and yellow onions, green onion, potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, corn and a bit of ginger root (per SeattleGirl's advice). It's yummy, and I made enough for an army. Wanna come to dinner? :hug:

If you're not up for a trans-Atlantic flight, how about if I light some Tara healing incense, play my Tara mantra CD, and send you some get-well vibes?

[LSK]

14. sounds good

I think what I really need is sleep. But the damn thing wakes me up in the middle of the night and then I have to get up for work. :grr:
I can sleep in tomorrow.

How many days did you have it?

[Heidi]

16. Four day of misery,

but I've had it seven days total. It started a week ago yesterday. Damn germ-laden kids on the PostAuto. :grr:

You need to get some Nyquil or the equivalent. If I'd taken Nyquil in the first two days of it, I'd have done a lot better. :hug:

[Maddy McCall]

24. Oh, that sounds delicious.

I bought all of the fixins for homemade vegetable soup...am about to get up off me bum and cook it.

But your chicken soup sounds just heavenly. :9

BTW, did you ever get your boots?

[liberalitch]

20. Day Seven of the snot factory......

I came back to work on Monday but I sould have stayed out until wednesday

[land of the free]

21. been flat on my back for 3 days

Ugh.

I worked a little bit yesterday, but I was dragging through it. I called in sick this morning because I can feel this headcold is moving into my chest. The good news is that my head is feeling better.

I am very happy to have the following comforts with me:

- Dayquil and Nyquil
- a case full of Kleenex I bought from Costco a few weeks ago
- tea, Vernors, and shortbread cookies
- wireless DSL for my laptop (for fast access to DU and dKOS)
- stupid comedy shows on Comedy Central
- cats who love to cuddle with sick people.

Hope you all are feeling better!

[Call Me Wesley]

25. Welcome to DU, land of the free!

Hope you're feeling better soon! :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

22. I've got cramps. Does that count?

:(

Hope you feel better soon.

[Lochloosa]

23. I have a hang nail....

and it hurts...

[flamingyouth]

27. I've had a sinus infection.

Last night I had a fever again but today I'm feeling a bit better.

I'm flying to Houston tomorrow. At least my head isn't as congested. God, it's just been forever. This winter has sucked for colds.

[Strong Atheist]

28. Sorry, not yet. But as a teacher, give it time ... nt.

[redqueen]

29. *raises hand*

Thought I was getting better, even... then last night had horrible (and seemingly completely random) aches/pains, and woke up with a fever again this morning.

Joy.

[Ariana Celeste]

30. just now getting over it

been sick for 3 weeks or so. couldn't cough everything up and couldn't put down the cigarettes. ugh. feeling much better now, since i can breathe through my nose again.

hope you get to feeling better soon. :hi:

[politicat]

31. Bad headache... day 4.

Side effect from meds I'm on, apparently. Decongestants help it, so it's probably sinus related.

I'm also cold.
