My best friend has acid reflux. Doesn't sound like fun to live with.


I've been diagnosed with a heart murmur. I go for an echocardiogram next week. I know they're generally harmless, but I'm a bit freaked about about it right now.

I have pneumonia and I feel like total crap. One minute freezing, sweating bullets the next, fever, weak, dizzy, achy and I can't stop coughing.

I think it may be contagious because I'm seeing double now.

Hope you feel better soon.

I caught the Norwalk (sp?) virus over Christmas - as the wag said about seasickness, 'In the first stage you're afraid you'll die. In the second stage you're afraid you won't.'

I have to keep the heat turned up in the house because Laurel's sick too, otherwise I'd keep it off aand feel a little more comfortable. Damn fever.

I'm feeling it too. I just gave up my Saturday night shift and left early last night. That makes this an expensive cold/early flu.

My cold only lasted a week symptom wise, but apparently segued into laryngitis. My throat hurts so much I don't want to talk, and I've already got the humidifier running. It feels like my lower throat's been scoured with coarse steel wool. Note to self and others: Lemon juice is NOT a good additive to jasmine oolong tea. Bleah.

I'm determined to make the most of the game tomorrow. I told my friends that I'd party even if it meant an extra couple of sick days later. As a bartender it's my favorite party holiday because I'm always off.

Okay, I've gotten worse in just a couple of hours. I've gotten to the point of the hot toddy, made with tea. I'm still waiting for the damn water to boil, grr. I know I'll be chugging expectorant in a couple of days. This sucks.

This is my first day out of bed since Wednesday! I finally made a move from the bed to the couch! Woohoo!

One of my students gave me the damn flu - temp has been above 101 and havent been able to hold down any food. I think I have lost 5 pounds in just 3 days. Well, feeling better today at least. Hopefully tomorrow I can party with the rest of ya watching the superbowl. :)

I switched from rum (nasty dry white kind) to creme de menthe in my tea; whoo doggy, does that clear the sinuses!

Goddammit I need to sleep! I woke up at 4 am thanks to some neighbors who were STILL partying, and decided to move it outside, blast their effin car steros, and set off some fireworks. Atlantic Beach's Finest were promptly summoned, probably not just by me. These idiots actually tried arguing with the police. One got pushy. Wrong answer. Bye-bye, you're going downtown now.
It took almost 2 hours to get back to sleep. Then, just after I fell asleep and was dreaming again, the phone rang- the alarm system at my Dad's company went off, and they called ME to let me know I should go check on it. Excuse me? I haven't been an employee there for 3 years. Why the F--- am I the primary caller? I called my Dad and asked him that, right after I got off the phone with security. "Well," he says, "you live a mile away. I'm 3 miles away I thought it'd be easier if you go check on it." Well, that's the first time in years I shouted my dad down, at 6:15 in the morning no less. I'm a little more cheerful now. Hot hot earl grey tea with lots of lemon juice and a hot dog with lots of onions for breakfast. What a way to start the day!

Wow, did I just hack up a nasty loogie! Green and brown lumps! What the heck the brown is, I have no idea. Time for more expectorant!

Yuck. Thank God it makes us feel better to get rid of that crap. Feel better everyone!

Treebait, tonight try a Highland sling. My cousin wants to be a bartender and made one for me last night. It'd be perfect for when you don't feel good/sore throat/and if you drink three for when you can't sleep, lol. It was primarily lemon juice, scotch and water with a touch of sugar or honey.

Lol, Sass! What I ended up drinking that made my throat feel better was peppermint tea with a good shot of creme de menthe in it. I felt like I was drinking Vicks vaporub.

Man, I hope this crud clears up soon. I'm supposed to be priming and painting the breezeway (enclosed) the downstairs bathroom ceiling the LR ceiling and several walls, etc., etc., at my parents house this week; they've had quite a bit of repair/ replacement work done lately. Oh yeah, I need to paint the front door, inside and out too. They want to bribe me to paint the entire outside. I may pass on that. That would be an awful lot of time up on a ladder.

Yeah, my crud seems to have set in for the long haul. If there's no improvement by tomorrow, I'm heading back to the doctor's.
