Hi everyone!
It's raining here and cold and has been since the weekend. I was out in the rain on Saturday (shopping) and woke up on Sunday with a sore throat. That was gone on Monday but my sinuses were stopped up and lyrengitis (sp). I've been treating all of this with Tylonal Flue and Cold medicine and TheraFlu. No good.
I called the doctor this morning because I woke up with my left lung very sore. The coughing made it worse and figured with my low immunity I better get checked. I had a 15 minute notice to come in for an appointment.
Long story short..............upper respitory infection, lyrengitis and walking pnemonia. I am on cough medicine w/codine and Azithromycin. Plenty of liquids, rest and pampering. YEA RIGHT!!!!
My boss left today for Louisiana - father passed away and tomorrow is our Thanksgiving dinner (catered) for the board and staff at the agency. The board meeting is first with a report from the accountants on the agency audit (my job). Always stressful! So, I am unable to stay home.
Hope everyone else is doing ok and staying safe in this nasty weather.
Love,
Mars

Oh My Gosh, Mars!! It just doesn't end................... your resistance must be at a real low.

Dang, Mars,
You gotta start taking better care of yourself. Life's too short to spend very much of it sick. Hopefully the meds will get you back on track pretty fast, but you may need to help them out a bit, by taking it a little easier.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Oh Mars,
Your immune system is so fragile, and your sick so often. I hope you have started dosing vitamin C. It will help you recoup sooner.
You should really call in sick and rest but I know (I know) what your thinking.
Have you asked for that raise yet? Take care of yourself.
Love,
Joanna

Hi Margie,
I'm sorry. Is there anything me/we can do?
Love, Marsha

Awwww, Mars Bar!
That sucks. I hope you're feeling better by now and that Norman hangs around during the antibiotics. At least azithro is usually only needed for 5 days. I also hope that you can rest and relax all weekend. And that you don't have to cook a big Thanksgiving dinner all by yourself.
Love and

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone!
I came home early today - need the rest I guess. I have slowly improved but still no energy, pale and sort of dizzy.
Polly - The antibiotics are a 5 day supply and Norman has been very attentive!
Marsha - you are such a dear to offer to help, although Arizona is a long way to ask you to come sit with me and keep me company! Tee hee!
Joanne - haven't found any vitamins that agree with me yet and don't have the energy to go to the store and buy some Vit - C. Gotta do that this weekend before I run out of energy for the day.
Thanks again everyone for the wishes - Hopefully this weekend will help get me back up to par before the holiday week.
I'll quiz everyone on their plans for the Holidays on another thread!

Hi Margie,
I hope you are feeling better. I haven't been here for awhile, but I saw that you were sick. Sounds like you should be in bed for awhile. I know how it is to go to work sick, no one should have to do that.
I hope you feel better very soon!!!
Love, Kathy P
