tons of water
hot water w/lemon & honey
more and more
just fill your cells with water til they're all plump and have to pee
fill 'em again, etc.
fill a big mixing bowl with hot water and do a tent towel and breathe in the steam
rub VapoRub on your chest
sleep with beautiful music on softly
ask BF for a footrub with nice lotion
go to sleeeeeeeeeeep
continue as needed

(brw, don't whisper--that's harder on your laryngitis than speaking softly is; just write notes)

Oh Lord Bonesy- I know it is so rotten to try to function with a cold/flu. I wonder if we can dispatch a couple of St. Bernards with a warming drink in one dog's flask, and a cup of homemade chicken soup with the the other one? Or maybe your boyfriend will be back by! Hope you get better fast!

Love,

Changing

My boyfriend called the doctor as I feel worse and feverish.

The doctor advised that I take acetaminophen for the fever, not talk at all, and breathe steam.  He also advised that I make an appointment to come in to the doctor's office.  This is definitely feeling like more than a cold.  (And I had a flu shot already.)

Thanks, Hops.

Will let y'all know what the doctor says after I see him today.

I've heard of two people who had icky reactions to the flu shot.

One was a pregnant lady who vomited for 3 days after receiving it.

I don't take it any more and my kids don't get it.

Hope you feel better... I can't add anything that hasn't already been suggested: /

Because of the population that I'm working with during the winter, who have compromised immune systems from a variety of reasons, my job requires that I get a flu shot.

BTW, the doctor tells me that I have both bronchitis and laryngitis.  I need to stay home, and not speak, until Thursday.

The only drawback with being home sick with bronchitis is that I don't get sick leave.

Bones,

  Hoping you get better soon.  Merry Christmas to you, and to all those you have dedicated yourself to helping.

I had to send another e-mail to my boss letting him know that I still can't talk and I'm still fighting the bronchitis.  It feels like the fever is finally starting to break.

I've lost so much time from this job due to bronchitis that my paycheck is going to be non-existant.

I had to ask my boss to find coverage for tonight as I'm still not feeling well.  I try to do a little bit of housework and had to sit down frequently from feeling lightheaded.

Dear Bones,

I so hope you're feeling better.  I wish I could bring you a nice bowl of your favorite soup or anything to lift your spirits and make you feel better.   I'll have you in my prayers.

I hope in spite of your illness that Christmas will be decent. 

You are special.
