Where I let my brain out to wander.

Well, I've discovered a new diet! It's called 'throat feels like someone is sticking daggers in it, and I can barely drink water let alone eat." If I were more awake, I'd find a way to smoosh that into something comically bad Latin. Infer the comedy on your own, please. ;) Seriously, does anyone have even a temporary remedy for intensely sore throats? I cannot swallow without pain. I cannot -move- without pain. It hurts down to my collar bones and up to my ears, although I suspect that's just radiating from the throat. The worst area is where my tonsils would be, if I had them. Chloraseptic does nothing. Benzocaine cough drops do nothing. Hall's cough drops help a little, if only to prevent dry mouth. Small sips of ice water help for a few seconds.

Dean's got the same ickiness, poor love, but thankfully he can still eat. Anyhoo, I'm about to go try gargling with warm salt water. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears. :)

ETA: Looking over the last few entries, I realize it looks like I've been sick a lot this winter. Nope. I've been sick non-stop since January. Why? Dunno. Annoyed? Yes. I'm going to the doctor yet again tomorrow, though.

So today, I share daisies with all of you rather than germs! I hope you are all well, happy, and healthy. *hugs*

Heya folks. Nothing much new in the way of events here abouts. Unfortunately, I'm pretty well down and out sick. About three weeks ago I came down with the flu. Nope, not the flu that the flu shot covers, but some other strain. Whee. So I spent most of a week at home with that, using up the remaining time off I had. I started to feel a little better, but never really got well. This week, it rebounded with a vengance, and now according to the nice doctor man, I now have pneumonia. He gave me killer antibiotics, an inhaler, and prednisone, and said to call Monday morning if I didn't get better. Guess who I get to call tomorrow morning? I couldn't even hold a conversation with my mother this afternoon, since just talking wipes me out and makes me cough. Anyhoo, I'm pretty out of commission. I'm still working because I have to, but I'm keeping my distance from everyone as much as humanly possible. Anyhoo, I'm done whining, I promise! The puppy is precious, and I promise I -will= post pics at some point. :)
