We now interrupt your regularly scheduled thread for some whine:
The antibiotics pretty much cleared the sinus infection but the bronchitis lingers. I've been sick for over a week now, and I'm weak. Vacation time ruined. This weekend not looking to fare better. I'm wondering about pneumonia: sometimes I can't breathe except like an asthmatic. I'm a horrible sick person. We now resume your scheduled thread for your viewing pleasure. |

Still sick. Still hacking. Still breathing like an asthmatic.
Yes, I know you care. |

Has anyone heard of fish racing yet?
You will. Remember cornhole? This is the next big thing. You saw it here first. (I missed a family party where they had fish racing, cause I was sick...apparently it's freaking hilarious.) |

I need to go and be a wet noodle. I should pass the 25 mile mark today. Maybe even the 26 too...... unless i cough up a lung.

I didn't even swim yesterday at my brother's house. My ears are just now clearing out, and I know I would get water in them and it would hurt (or in my lungs or whatever.)
I dangled my feet and that was about it. Happy 25 miles! |

Is your cough definitely chest congestion or is it really bad post nasal drip. My husband and I had that cough for at least a month. The doc gave him z-pack too and it did zip.

Infi, if this is an ongoing thing you need to get serious with your doctor.
Guidelines here state that if you have a cough for 3 weeks you want to look at other symptoms, it might be more serious. Not trying to freak you out - better to be safe than sorry. And no, that's not a hypochrondriac reaction, it's official information which busy GPs sometimes miss. I just wanted to let y'all know that my phonics group have really been missing me. I was in late Friday (scheduled time off) AND Monday and Tuesday (work times changed so I could attend Tiger's new classroom orientations as they happen in the afternoons.) Given that phonics is usually @ 10.00, the sessions have had to be merged. It was a teaching decision, but the children don't really get that - my five feel they have missed out. They haven't of course, but I did get a little frisson, given that my motley crew include a child barely able to sit still for ten minutes; a child who is pretty much unable to speak; the shyest and shakiest boy; probably the most troublesome. The latter frequently asks me whether I am angry. In a hopeful way. He has decided if I am angry I will stamp on his head, and this phrase has permeated the group. I am asked to stamp on their heads at least three times a week. Oh I missed one out of my count. He's a little moptop I can't otherwise categorise. The wonderful thing about them is they all try damned hard. They all enjoy the work. And they love being in a small group - they were seriously getting left behind when it was a full class activity. Hence Mrs P's decision to calve them off. At a time when I am working on Tiger's social skills - a nebulous and long-term goal - I have seen four out of five able to write their names. And ALL of them improve in sounding out letters and blending into words. I know it's not something many people can relate to, but it has made me really happy. And knowing my group have actually missed THE WORK is a real boost. Back to normal scheduling tomorrow. And I bet they act like little sods...

(b) that sort of reputation could come in useful... Infikey, late last (southern) winter a bug causally called the 40-day cough went around Adeliade. Turns out it was whooping cough. Sounds a bit like what you have. Maybe check it out. That or leprosy. Take your pick.

I knew I shouldn't have gone to Badelaide just to meet YOU.
I suppose if it isn't better by Friday I'll try to get in. It's the exhaustion that worries me, and makes it difficult to even want to leave the house. Thanks! |
