LOL, I wish I had the balls to wear that to work.

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.

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 08:32 AM

Still sick. Still hacking. Still breathing like an asthmatic.

Yes, I know you care.

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 09:28 AM

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.)

me too. i'm almost ready to go to the doctor, I've had this cough over a month now

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 12:03 PM

I finished a z-pack, to no avail.

It is the sucketh.

I have the energy of a wet noodle.

monster · 07-05-2011, 12:15 PM

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.

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 12:19 PM

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!

Pico and ME · 07-05-2011, 12:33 PM

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.

Woman, why did you put this here? I was following you over in the other thread. Stay in the other thread so we can cheer you on. Well, at least you have one follower and that's me.

By the way, CONGRATS on your 7 lbs lost.

Keep it up!! Keep it up!!!

So sorry to hear about your sickness, Infinite. I hope you get better soon.

Me? It was diagnosed as bronchitis, and there is definitely stuff in my lungs that isn't moving. My lungs squeak from time to time, in between wheezing. I've still got some nasal issues too but I think the infection is gone.

Thanks Lola! And I am keeping monster and you in mind as my motivations. WHEN I feel better I am going to start being better!

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...

(a)

at the idea of Sundae actually stamping on a kiddie's head!
(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.

infinite monkey · 07-06-2011, 08:47 AM

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!

I found out the ex-s parents house burned to the ground. . . on July 4th.
