I THINK I am getting better

[puppetmaker]

At least my head feels better but the cough is a killer. I am trying every trick I can think of to slow it down/stop it because at this point it hurts to breath much less cough. I am hoping that this is the back end of the whole thing. I also have lost my taste for cough drops or rather standard cough drops with menthol seems to make my stomach very upset so I am down to hard candies to suck on for cough relief. *Sigh*

Peter has offered to take Caroline to an indoor playground that she loves for a couple of hours to give me some more time to rest up but I think he really needs the time for work so I am going to try to make it through the day. *cough cough cough*

I have a bowling lesson with a coach but I have to see if I am up for it. I think not much is getting done today other than trying not to cough.

I am grateful that I am feeling better.

If your cough is that bad, I would go to a doctor. I let something like that hang out last year, trying to treat it with OTC remedies, and wound up with some sort of bronchial asthma and had to be put on a nebulizer. Then again, my immune system is less to be desired.

Point is, don't push yourself, even if you think you're getting better, or you'll never really kick this thing.

First I have to say that your Icon is da bomb and made me giggle.

I'm given myself another 24 hours to see if there is improvement. Not to get too yucky but the mucus color is good (clear not cloudy) when I blow my nose. The minute that even starts to change, I am off to the Doctor.

Hehehe, thanks. :) I thought it appropriate considering I was giving medical advice.

I know moms don't always put themselves first, but it's really the best thing you can do for Caroline and Peter when you're not feeling well. Get better soon!

I'm going to second this. That's how my pneumonia started last winter. More than a week in the hospital is officially No Fun At All.

Get better soon!

Been thinking of you. *hugs* I hope you continue to get better.
