OKay I am feeling better today, after a trip to the ER a breathing treatment, an albuteral inhaler for every 4 hours here at home, and prednisone, also no dairy period, had some hot chocolate, as it was increasing the cough factor, sigh....... I have improved!!!! Yeah, I am still on the motrin and tyolenol as well, but I feel almost normal right now and have an appetite. I had eaten nothing since wednesday except around 20 grapes, a bowl of chicken broth,1/4 of a cup of vegie beef broth, and 2 popsicles. No wonder I felt sucky, I was of course downing water left and right. ALso My husband did get the better job, yeah yeah yeah. The first one was so bad and dangerous anyway things are looking better. Amy
Oh my gosh I feel soooooo bad bad bad. I have had fevers today that gave me the shakes and shiver sooo bad, I could not stop my teeth from chattering. I have a major headache and that is with 3 ibuprofin me every 6 hours. SIGH........................My body aches and so does my throat. I downed a couple of room temp pepsi's which helped a hair, but when you coughing up ucky stuff it just keeps irritating the throat.
I am so tired I just soaked in a hot shower to help get rid of the shakes, I know not the best idea, but I was soooooo cold. I am guzzling orange juice thanks to the lovely man who brought us a bunch there fore I did not need to send someone after it, along with bunches of soup he bought. I so apprciate this gentleman.
My friend just brought over milk and eggs and yesterday a friend brought more veggies. We are so blessed. It seems Tony has a new better job. I drove him to moundridge about 15 min from here, today they sent him for his UA and are running the background check as we speak. Yeah!!!!!!
In case your wondering about why I drove him even sick as a dog, I drive better then him when he is tired and after last nights hideous shift he fell and got hurt, everything is soaking wet, and has a hard time closing his hands and he was so way tired, anyway he starts to fall asleep when he is weary and sore. So better my sick self drive then he wreck the vehicle and hurt himself. Anyway please oh please oh please pray for me.

so very sorry that you have been sick ...sounds like the flu. good thing to keep hydrated as best you can.gingerale, gatorade help...and chicken broth. Epson salts in a warm/hot bath help with the soreness too.

It sounds awful being so sick. Get plenty of rest and liquids (soup, juices and tea) and take good care!
