Spring is right

[sunshine]

When I cough I have spinal pain halfway down my back...never felt that before. Temp is back down to 98.8. Feeling much better but still taking another day off walking or anything.

[luvtimes]

Hope you feel better soon

Don't push yourself sun or you'll have a relapse.  I've been taking Delsyms cough mIxture, it helps.  I absolutely have to go to the store tomorrow or we'll run out of some necessities.  I feel a lot better today though.  The last time I went to the store the checker was coughing so hard as she checked me out you would've thought she had consumption.

Thanks.....i really need to shop today and I don't want to go out but bad weather coming.

[sunshine]

Too sick to go out today. I have not been out of the house now in 8 days... getting cabin fever but still feel like fainting at times.

So sorry sun, you must have a bad case of this bug that's going around.  Hopefully you have a store that will deliver groceries near you.

No delivery here. I'm eating fruit cocktail mostly.  I made some scrambled egg, too. It would be so much easier to grab a banana but I don't have anything left fresh. It took all I had to make those eggs today. Day 8 stuck in the house.


The plane hubby got to come home had arrived from Japan.. probably got a bug  we don't have here.

This has been an exceptionally bad flu season and the strains are all new.  Can you call a friend or relative and ask them to do some shopping for you?  Do you have something like Safeway home delivery there? 
I had to rely on a friend from work once to shop for me.  My entire family was sick and I was worst of all.  Both hubby and I were so dizzy we couldn't drive, so I called her and she stopped by after work and picked up my shopping list and brought us back enough canned soup, juice, and fruit to see us through.

I hope you feel better soon, or have seen your doctor.

I had a friend pop up and said she was checking on me....I said I was better than the day before and then she gives me her key and asked me look after her house this week. Seriously? I was hacking a lung and she still gives me a key. Wow....like there are no other people  living right next door to her???

have you seen a doctor?

if bacterial (cold) infection...a 5-10 day penicillin regimen can work

"they" say a virus (flu) infection is not treatable by penicillin
maybe so...but actual virus/flu is rare

respiratory sickness is widespread in my north central usa neck of the woods

when I get "sick"
I still like to get
hopefully once a year at the most
a penicillin "zpac" to cover underlying bacteria problems

I went to the store today still feeling a bit under the weather and it was a zoo and half the shelves were empty or being re-stocked.  The line at the pharmacy was the longest I had seen in a long time.  Came home feeling whacked.  I practically covered myself and the grocery cart with sanitizer!

if we could somehow combine our 21st century individual stories
and produce a dickens like story
we could be on to something

dickens died in 1870...age 58
he probable had a few more good novels of woe in him...into the "roaring 1890's"
