If you haven’t noticed, this blog has been missing it’s regular posts. I’ve been sick. The lovely flu I’m sure. It started with a malaise and then body aches, headache and sore throat. Escalating to cold sweats, slight fever, coughing and dizziness. I’m back down now to occasional bouts of cold I can’t shake no matter what I wear or curl up into and a sore throat that hurts so bad it woke me up every time I swallowed in my sleep. Ugh.
It’s always a waiting game to see if Master gets it. The odds are stacked against him but we go into quarantine mode. My snoring has gotten really bad since being sick so Master has taken to sleeping on the futon. There has been no kissing and no sex. It’s all frustrating but necessary when he works from home.
So, I’m going to continue recovering. I should be back to normal soon.

Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon!! Sounds like you may have either influenza or pneumonia.
GOOD LUCK!!
Eww, I’ve never had pneumonia so I had to go look up the symptoms. It’s close to how I feel but *shrugs* so does bronchitis. I’m making an appointment on Monday if I haven’t improved.
oh dear, i hope you feel better soon.. one suggestion, about the sore throat, one we find very helpful when we’ve got a sore throat – make a cup of tea, fairly weak, and stir a spoon of honey into it. Lemon tea is a good option, as it goes well with honey. But the honey, as well as feeling good on your sore throat, is also a natural antiseptic – and every little bit helps when you’re feeling ill like that.. Other than that, lots of rest, paracetamol is good for bringing down a temperature, but yes, rest is your best option, really.
get well soon!

Thanks, I’ve been using the honey technique.
Sore throat is worse now that coughing fits have ensued. The type that leave me in a feeling of vertigo and thunderclap headaches. It’s so painful and scary I dread coughing. I’m going to the Dr if this doesn’t improve at all on it’s own this weekend.
Ugh..those coughs sound like the ones I had when I had pneumonia…gods I hope that’s not what you have!! Feel better soon!!
And the tea suggestion is a good one. The honey will coat your throat and help it
Also, make sure to drink plenty of water, it’ll help your balance and ease some of the vertigo…
*hug*
