Out of Commission - Once Again


I wasn't gonna mention it . . . 'cause it's gotten embarrassing that it's happening so often . . . but I'm sick . . . AGAIN.  When I got home from work on Friday, I went straight to bed.  No dinner, no bath, no brush teeth.  No even change clothes.  I was miserable and exhausted.  Wendell says that it's because I lost too much weight!!!! 

My doctor said that this flu is a relapsing one.  He's seen several cases.  Online research says that you can't relapse with the flu.  You get immune.  But you can catch another strain . . . A, B or C.  

Whatever.  All I know is that I need to get better FAST.  I'm totally overdosing on the stuff below.  And do you know why?  Because WE LEAVE FOR THE SAPPORO SNOW FESTIVAL ON SATURDAY!!!!!

No worry, Mich. THANK GOD I was off on Saturday, so I stayed in bed all day. I feel 100 times better today. After I get rid of this chest congestion, I'll be good as new . . . AND immune to two different types of flu.

Jalna, Be sure to use Saline Solution spray in your nose. This is a salty solution that will clear your sinuses, and the germs can not live in this salty solution environment! You will feel better in no time! And will breathe much better really fast. Keep it with you at all times, and use it everyday. My Mom taught me this, and it really works.

Hope you feel much better soon!

Aloha!

if you're not quite well by Saturday, suggest you take a couple of advil about 2 hours before you land. The airports have thermal scanners and if your temp is elevated, they might pull you aside and quarantine you!

Awww, Anon . . . awesome get-well poem/song. Thank you!

Oooh Mark . . . a good friend just dropped off a NielMed Sinus Rinse bottle and some solution packets. I used it yesterday and this morning. I just looooove it. lt takes away all the gunk and junk.

OMG, Anon, that would be BAD! Thanks for the tip!

I came home at lunch Friday too! Went straight to bed no shower, no changing, no brushing teeth, no nothing and slept till 3 am the next morning just to take pills for my throat and headache. Slept some more and felt a little better...but when I went to doctor I had tonsillitis, my tonsils full of sores...eww! I just went back to work today. Have a fabulous trip, can't wait for pics!!

jalna said...
