Kelsa is fine, but this is what I want to be doing. I want to curl up on a sofa or bed and just sleep and sleep. This cold lingers, with a steady cough and sinus drainage. It is just really wiping me out. Not very happy about it. Taking over the counter meds as directed, and I really don't know if they are helping as much as I would like. But if I don't feel better by Friday I will go into doctor.
Just this overall feeling of exhaustion and malaise. My biggest fear is that I will sink into depression, and I want to make sure it is just the cold and not my mind. I don't want to go there. I am fighting it off on all fronts. I do not like to be brought down by anything.
I downloaded a form from my email for possible help with my most expensive med. I will run that in today as soon as Nate picks up Kelsa.
I spent all day yesterday working on handwork on wedding dresses and I will finish another today.
Many small projects in piles for me to tackle. Just hems and things. Need to pull another couple of wedding dresses to finish up before the week is out.
The wheezing in my breathing is better so I will take that as a good sign. I have only had one really bad coughing jag.
My problem is impatience. Everyone who has gotten this crud said it was a bad one and I was so sure I would skate through. Kim and her ability to deny reality but then she can also lose a month.
I just need to feel better. Anyone have any Fairy dust? Willing to try anything.

Chest colds are hard to get over. They seem to linger. Just take care and keeping moving forward.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl, I just feel so empty sometimes.
DeleteI am right there with you! It sounds like we have the same exact thing...a horrible chest cold. And a cough that I had no idea I was capable of! It isn't in your mind, dear lady. It is very real. That being said, and I speak from experience, anxiety seems to flare up in these exact times...stress and illness. So I have been noticing some pesky anxious thoughts around me. I am aware of them, and acknowledging them and letting them pass right along, thank you very much. I wish I could run over so we could be miserable together! I hope the sun shines on your face today, my friend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYEs when one is not 100% your mind can be well... not your friend.
DeleteIf I had some fairy dust I would try & poke it through my computer screen to you Kim!!! I would give it a really good go !! I feel lousy too & actually did a covid test this morning which thankfully, was negative as I have Grandsons 6th birthday party to help with this weekend. Take care Kim ... hope you get on top of it. xx
ReplyDeleteI do think I am improving and then I start coughing.
DeleteDang!! Rest, lots of fluids, and...whatever works! If I were out there, I bring over some chicken noodle soup, oj, and hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks April I would love that.
DeleteThe last cold I had lasted almost three weeks. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take a rest between tasks. I found I tired out so easily.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I think that is my biggest problem is that I am just tired.
DeleteKim, I am convinced that our bodies have accumulated stress from the death of our beloveds…I have migrating aches and stabbing pains almost every day, which I assume are stress related. It has been three months so I bet we will have health adventures for the next three months as the stress slowly leaves us. Hope Sam is doing okay, and wonder if she has health adventures as well. Take care of yourself. I described my health stuff as similar to the movie the 10 commandments where Moses called down the 7 plagues of Egypt…each time something new happens on my body, I figure I am getting closer to the final plague.

ReplyDeleteYes the grief plague.
DeleteNow that I can wear shoes again you'd better get well or I'll have to come and kick you a few times! At least you found May again so that's something..... 8-)
ReplyDeleteI would love it if you would come and kick me. We would run right out and get donuts.....
DeleteThere is something going around I haven't seen before but which several people I know are trying to fight off--sinus draining, cough, congestion--general icky feeling. And it seems to take more than a month to resolve!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be this way for a month NOOOOOOO
DeleteI had four weeks of fever and illness in January, I think. Right now, I have a 105.9 temp and feel awful.
ReplyDeleteWOw that is really high you need to be in an emergency room.
DeleteGet plenty of rest! Hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori.
ReplyDeleteWhen I had a bad cough I used the children's zerbee cough medicine work great for me especially with the mucus
