Breakdown

Well, I finally had to breakdown and go to the doctor for my bronchitis. I have been coughing non-top for about 3 weeks, now. I got a strong antibiotic, some sort of steroid/anti inflammatory to help with the breathing and a strong, thick syrup for the cough. So far, so good. It seems to be helping since all my home remedies failed long ago. I do look forward to next week. I should be a good as new then! When all else fails, go to the doctor!

Liquid Day

I have been swimming in liquid all day today. I have a light cold so I have been pushing the fluids all day. As a result I have also spent a lot of time getting rid of all that water as well. I feel better...no so stopped up as my nose is clearer. I wonder why a cold makes you feels so miserable. I just want it to go away. By this weekend. I have a big one planned. A holiday formal on Saturday night. I do not want to be all dressed up and sneezing my fool head off.

Lunch was soup. Clear liquid with shrimp wontons. It was really good but it was still just the same consistency as water with five little shrimp. Tonight I will have a little thicker soup. Lentil. Yes. It has been a very liquid day.

Under the Weather

It has been a rough night. I have come down with a cough and cold and my throat is totally raw. I will stay in today and not go to church. I guess I will break out the home remedies. First will be putting peroxide in my ears. That does work. I use it every winter. Then will come the eating of whole garlic cloves and drinking lemon water. You know. Just water and lemon juice squeezed into it.

Whenever I tell my coworkers to do the above things they just look at me very strangely. A few have tried and they do say it works.....especially the peroxide. It is easy to do. I have had remarkable results in curing the flu and cold within 12 to 14 hours by administering a few drops of hydrogen peroxide into each infected ear, (sometimes only one ear is infected). It starts working within 2 to 3 minutes in killing the flu or cold; there will be some bubbling and in some cases mild stinging occurs. Wait until the bubbling and stinging subside (usually just a few minutes), then drain the excess fluid onto a tissue and repeat the process in the other ear. It is easiest to lie on your side in bed while using this method, and a Q-tip or cotton ball work well to administer the peroxide. I have just poured a little into my ears from the cap. That works also.

So...later today I hope to feel better.
