sick as a dog
since…ummm…Friday evening. Went to bed and slept all but an hour of the past 48 hours or so…honestly I don’t remember. We had a Sunday? Say it ain’t so. Missed it completely.
Strep Throat is a bummer. Haven’t been this sick since I had chicken pox about 15 years ago.
Thank god for antibiotics…which I almost never take, but started yesterday am.
So…I can move about some this morning without freezing and crying in pain…oh my aching joints and head. It feels like I won’t be needing to peel off yet another soaking wet set of clothes from the fever….I hope.
Staying hydrated is the hardest part.

Ooooohh, sorry you’re so poorly sweety. Sending lots of get well wishes your way.
love and hugs xxx
Thanks M:e, think most of my fever induced delirium is gone. And I don’t hurt near as bad even if my throat feels like that of a professional linebacker. It’s finally summer in the Rockies….I am too sick still to go out to work in the garden.

Feel better soon! Sending you healing thoughts…
Thank Molly…need all I can get…slow but sure…at least I can sit up and look out the window this evening.

Oooh! I’m so sorry! I hope you are feeling even better now. I saw another post on my wp reader, so I’ll go see how you’re doing now. ((big hugs))
Betterer and betterer thank goodness…even with over 48 hours sleep since Saturday evening I am still bone tired but can swallow and eat, and slept last night without drenching the bed from fever. ((hugs))

Hope the ickies are done-er today. Here’s a toast of olive tincture, echinacea, C and Yin Chao cocktail to ya.
Done-er and Done-er. Appetite has returned…and my throat is bearable today. All that weight I so carefully cultivated the past few weeks burned up in 2 days of high fever. I just could no drink as much as I sweated/burned off. Yah, no herbals in the house….no echinacea, no arnica, no garlic, no chamomile, no peppermint/spearmint, no licorice, no uva-ursi, no yarrow, no sage, no calendula lotion, no honey….nothing, nada….too sick to go out but will be stocking up shortly!
