I finally got the cold

My children were sick, my husband got sick, and I was the only one okay. So I was the caretaker during the sickness in the house.
Then, what happens, 1 week after my husband leaves, I get it. Of course when there is no one here to take care of me :(
I feel like crap, my body aches, my throat hurts, my nose is stuffy, ugh!
I hope this goes away soon, for I cannot take medicine to help it due to it making me drowsy and that cant happen with having two kids to take care of alone.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Mel. We've been fighting the cold/flu bug here too. My daughter has been sick for almost a week now. Today, she's finally starting to feel a little better. Hope you feel better quickly! Did you ever try Dayquil? It's supposed to be non-drowsy. I'd drop some off if we lived a little closer : )
Hope you can get lots of rest!

Thanks Wendy.
It would not matter what it is I take, still makes me ughy. I have tried it all. This is just something that has to fight itself. Just takes a little longer then if I took meds.
Thanks again.
Hope your dd feels better real soon.

Well if I was anywhere near you, I would come take care of you :o)


Drink lots of warm fluids and get plenty of rest. Also, try gargling with warm salt water several times for your throat.


I hope you feel better soon!


(((hugs)))
