I am sick.
Rather ill.
Not dying.
I caught whatever virus my youngest son has had. He's recovering after a week of scratchy throat and nasal drainage. Yuck-o! The scratchy throat started yesterday afternoon. The nasal stuff kicked into high gear about 8pm, when I curled up into bed with a book, whilst sucking on a throat soothing candy.
I woke several times in the night and tried to "mind control" my frequent nervous swallowing. Ever try to do that? Once I fixate on not swallowing it's all I bloody do!
Tomorrow I will take my girl to a dentist to see about a molar that is giving her pain or there's a molar coming in? I don't know which (or something other) is going on, but we'll hopefully find out the cause of her discomfort then. She seems better than she was a few days ago, but I want to get her seen as soon as I can get her seen. Of course, if my virus doesn't slow up a bit, I may have to reschedule.
I'll know by this afternoon whether I can take her to her appointment tomorrow. You know how you know these things about your body, right?
The swallowing is nauseating me.
I'll be spending my day reading and resting and drinking loads of ice water.

Hoping you're up and at 'em again soon! Maybe some warm tea (not hot) with some lemon and honey will help...It works for me when I have a problem with sinus drainage...Take care!!! Cathy
Get some rest! Feel better soon!
There are herbal teas out there that do help as does some extra vitamin C. Mario always swore by a mixture of warmed honey, butter and milk.
Love your new look...you have a sweet family and a very cute face, Sarah!
Doesn't seem like you are allowed to get sick if you're in Hawaii!!
blessings for health and hugs,
marcy
OHhhh, hope you're feeling better soon. Prayers.
Oh man nothing worse than those nasty germs messing up a body.
Here's thinking of ya while you sip sip sip that ice water. Wouldn't tea be better??
Get better soon!
Oh yuck! I'm so sorry.
My trick - and you have to have your Dh with you for this trick - is to lie down and suck on a Ricola. I pray that he'll help me if I choke.
Hope you're feeling better, Sarah, and that you can take your girl to the dentist. Eat some chicken soup!
Hope you feel better soon, sweetie!
hope you are doing better...we've had some scratchy throats here too. i thought it might be due to all of the ash and stuff in the air from the fires...but regardless, it does seem that the harder you try NOT to do something, it becomes the ONE thing you can't STOP doing...lots of vitamin c for you. and a good book.
hugs.
