Sickness Pondered
These are some random things I discovered while I was sick:
~Puff's Plus are softer than other tissues.
~Delsym is a magic elixir that soothes the savage cough.
~Sucrets suck (sorry, had to go for this one).
~Carmex soothes dry chapped lips.
~PJ's are the absolute best item in my wardrobe.
~There is no such thing as too much time in bed.
~When you sound like you're dying, people will not talk very long to you on the phone.
~Ice cold drinks and hot drinks both feel good on a sore throat.
~It is NOT possible to cough up a lung, even though it feel like it.
~Breathing is important, especially when you can't.
~There is more mucus in my body than I ever thought possible.
~Green tea is a good, soothing drink--served either hot or cold.
~Tylenol is absolutely necessary to survive the all over pain.
~I swallow a lot (you notice this more when it hurts to swallow)
~Vicks smells better than perfume.
~Nothing tastes good, not even chocolate.
~Coughing really scares my dog.
~There is absolutely nothing remotely good on late night/early morning television.
~The harder I cough, the more helpful my children are.
~Getting up to use the bathroom and coughing should both qualify as Olympic events.
~Dying suddenly seems like a real possibility.

HACK A LOOGIE
sorry for the graphics ;) kids love to be so gross (clearing my throat). i hope you are laughing cause i am. luv ~janel
this really works. put vicks on the bottom of your feet and then put on socks. Your coughing will stop. It has worked for me the past few weeks at night.
Hey Prof, I found you through Janel at He knows my name....I had to comment because I had the same type post about a week ago (give or take a few days). It stinks to be sick - it stinks even worse not to be able to breathe. I feel for ya sister!
Sorry you have been so sick! I hope you are feeling better now! Seriously, that just stinks!
This is cute...I found that I agreed with several of them! I had a TERRIBLE sinus infection last October or so and found then that, "There is more mucus in my body than I ever thought possible." Gross, but true! :-)
Only sweet Cheryl can share the laughter that comes from near death experiences! I'm so glad that you are better.
Sucrets do suck. Sorry.
That made me laugh.
Really hoping you are feeling better. Love you so much.
My dear dolla hope you are feeling better. I will pray for you and keep you in my thoughts. I will have to remember these tips esp the one about coughing harder the kids help. love ya
Delsym is the advice I give all new mother's - this is truly the ONE cough medicine that lasts the entire night!
Hope you are feeling better!
