Wow am I sick!

I picked up something while on my trip to New York. The last day there I started to get the sniffles. When I descended in the plane Wednesday morning I thought I was going to die from the pain in my ears - guess they clogged up. I went to work Thursday and Friday and apologized to my co-workers for all the sniffling and nose blowing. I really tried to pamper myself this weekend with rest between the chores, chicken soup, and plenty of fluids. I coughed myself awake this morning at 4 and couldn't get back to sleep, not even cough syrup helped. I couldn't go to work today and just slept most of the day away.

I hate summer colds! Today was probably the hottest day we'll have all summer

and I missed it, damn!

Okay, enough whining! I prolly won't make the chat tonight. Have fun everyone that does.

Love ya
<sniffle> Peg

Hi Peg. Sorry you are so crook, and after such a great trip too. I know what you must have went through with your ears. I used to have problems when the plane started to descend but since I have been using a Vicks inhaler I have had little trouble, even when I had a cold or infected sinus. I start using it when it is about time for the descent & then keep using it all the way down. Pinching your nose & blowing, also yarning is helpful too. Anything to clear the Eustachian tubes. I was deaf for a week once after a terrible time coming back from Alice Springs. The pain was awful. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Love

Liz

Hope you feel better soon

I'm coughing, headachy, sneezing, scratchy throat, but it's allergies.

Love - Mom

Peg, I can sure relate to your problem with your ears and flying. I've had that several times and the first time I wondered if I'd ever hear again.

Sure glad you got your hearing back, Liz!!

Feel better soon, Peg.

Love, Shirley

I'm so sorry you "caught" something in New York, Peg. So far whatever it is seems to have spared David and me. Please feel better soon!

Love,
Carole

So sorry dear Peg. I know what you mean about flying and the pain in the ears. Horrible. My mother used to make me chew gum and that helped. But it's too late now, huh?

Take it easy and get lots of rest. Maybe you overdid it just a wee bit in New York?

Lots of love,

A. Sal

Me, overdo it? Me? Surely you jest

I made it in to work today. Luckily yesterday wasn't too bad heat-wise for me because we live so close the the ocean and I have a nice constant breeze. I'm not sure that I'm that much better today, but I'm here.

Thanks for all the kind wishes.

Love
Peg

I hope you feel better soon,

I just went through a summer cold and it is horrible, but you will feel much better after having a long rest, drinking a lot of fluids and eating chickensoup, etc.

And keep in bed if you have fever...

But if you have no fever...

We count on your postings!

Take care, Peg
