TT Feeling Sickly Thread

“Just like Mario Lemieux (Very famous hockey player). Hope everything turns out ok.”

“I hope it's nothing serious and that the tests get to the bottom of whatever is causing it.”

“Good luck to you Carlette.

Spirit Coyote....I've never heard of that one! Passing out from hot flashes???? Must be pretty bad. :(”

“Hope everything works out for you Carlette.

Hey Boulder, I think I can top that. This year I had a sinus infection and the stomach flu. I think I got both from my daughter.

The past ten years I have never been sick other than a dry scratchy throat that would hang around for 2 or 3 days. In the past 10 years of work, I have taken 1 sick day and that was 3 weeks ago because of the stomach flu.”

“Sorry to hear about your problems. I hope all turns out well for you. Blessings to you.”

“Sorry to hear about that. If it was something serious, they would have done the stress test or other testing right away. I recently had to wear one of those monitors due to heart palpitations. Turns out I have premature ventricular contractions. Sounds bad, but about half of the population has this condition - they just don't know about it because they don't have noticiable symptoms. No medication is necessary in my case.

Carlette, I hope it's nothing serious. I will be pulling for you.”

“WK - after those several years of being sick all the time, I practically don't know what to do now that I'm well all the time! At first, it was me catching stuff from BowlderSon. But then he stopped bringing stuff home - I was just catching everything, even giving stuff to him! My doc finally guessed that my minor allergies were just enough to compromise my immune system a bit, so suggested I take a claritin every day. It worked!”

“I had to give a seminar today. When I got home my throat was sore which is not all that unusual after speaking all day. Then I got a fever and aches. I feel like hammered krap now.”

“Take some aspirin. Go to bed and eat jalepenos. You'll feel better in the morning. :)”

“Hammered crap is a perfect explanation of how I feel too! My sympathy is yours Jimmysan. Stand in a hot shower for awhile.”

“Tylenol PM and a nice cozy bed.”

“I almost called my daughter into school sick this morning so I could stay in my nice cosey bed. But it's her first crazy hair day and I didn't want to deprive her.

Coffee's doing wonders for my throat.”

“I have two proposals I have to get out the door today, so I can't afford to be sick. Working out of the home has its advantages and disadvantages. A big disadvantage is that you can't really "call in sick". You just keep on working...”

“Elvis is dead and I don't feel so good myself.”

“wow what day is this?
the last thing I remeber was Sat night. I think I missed treebeards b-day. I did go to work yesturday only to turn right around and go home and back to bed. what a nasty mean horrible flu. I got over the flu by mid Tues when the fever broke but the stomach flu is still killing me. no real food since Sat afternoon. But tree made some good soup last night and it stayed down :) I am going to try and work today!”

“Oh suuuuure. I'll have to try that one when I want to get out of getting someone a birthday present.
;-D

Glad you're feeling better!”

“my sinus's are stuffed but the coffee helps. A hot shower and a good blow should clear it up.”

“good blow should clear it up.”

EXCUSE ME???”

“That cures most evils in my book...”

“depends on what kind of blow. female or snow blow?”

“Glad you are feeling better, Mapes!”

“Ok, the coffee's still kickin in, give me some slack here..........lol.”

“Blech....i think im coming down with teh flu or something. I feel so bloated and a bit nausous. I REALLY dont have time to get the flu >:(”

“I'm there with you girfriend. Fever, cough, runny nose the works. Last day of my Rope Rescue course is tommrow. I can't miss that so I gotta tough it out.”

“Xicam....nasal spray, etc....it is an OTC (over the counter) cold intervention med. My Fire Department swears by it. It may not stop the cold but it will use the zinc to boost your immune system.
Second echinacia and zinc tea....( know the spelling may be off) but it will help too.”

“three bathrooms in my house were still not enough for 4 people with the stomack bug.
UGH :(
thank goodness it is more of a 24 hour bug. I am sooo tired of beingsick and tired!”

“Me too. I have had a TON of stress in my life lately as well as a death in my family. As a result, I was drained and fell victim to some sort of nasty virus. Along with all the other symptoms, I have this dry unproductive cough, and once I get going I can't stop and have no control over myself. The other day in the middle of a trial while the witness was in the middle of testifying, I jumped up and ran out of the courtroom as an attack hit me. The judge and attorneys were shocked. I've never done anything like that before and was absolutely mortified. After 15 minutes of coughing my brains out, I could come out of the bathroom again. Now I am so sore all through my chest and rib cage area. Feels like I got hit by a truck.”

“Ruby becarefulof pnumonia.....”

“Eatting toast seems to have calmed my tummy down for now. I feel lots better!”

“oddest freakin flu i ever had...it seems to only effect me in the evenings and it makes me nausuous but not enough to throw up. Odd.”

“Sounds like what I'm starting to get over. It knocks me out early morning and through the evening, but most of the day I'm (barely) functional. The weirdest dang part was today. My sinuses hurt really, really bad. I had a lot of work to do, so I popped 2 ibuprofen AND drank a red bull. The ibuprofen hasn't worked all week, but the caffeine? Wow, It knocked the pain out fast. I was amazed.”

“I have this dry unproductive cough, and once I get going I can't stop and have no control over myself

That was my 2nd symptom for HL. Have any incessant itching?”

“I'm getting back to the living. I managed to complete my rope rescue course on Thurday. Got my helment, certification and stinking T-shirt. Next is first responder training and confined space rescue. Gotta love getting paid to rack up on fantastic training like this.”

“Feeling good so far this morning :)”

“Okay, I'm in week 2 of this cold/flu/bronchitis from hell thing, where my knees, elbows, head and neck ache, and I can't control my temperature worth beans. It's in the mid 50s outside, and I was standing over this beautiful full burning hickory fire, shivering my a$$ off. I've got the heat turned up inside ( I usually prefer it cold) and I'm about to take a really warm bath as a last ditch effort to get warm. If I sleep on my back I stop breathing by the way, so sleep is on my side or propped up. The crazy part is I'm a lot better now than I was last week. Laurel got over this in only a week (she got to sleep it all off, about 18 hours a day) and I'm jealous!

Okay, my rant is over. I'll go cough up a lung now. Or at least a bunch of green stuff.”

“I sprained my right hand last weekend skiing. Major drag. I was teaching kids to ski and got into a log-jam on a tow-line. I was untangling a gordian knot of kids and skis when some snowboarders came up the tow line from behind and plowed into me. They knocked me over and I landed hard on my wrists. My right wrist was sore but really hurt the next day. A trip to the doctor showed the bones were fine but that I had a bad sprain. It's doing better now but I am in a splint. Hopefully it will be in fair shape for my hike in a few weeks.

I am so glad the season for skiing is almost over. I don't heal as quickly as I used to!”

“I have $50 to the first TT who comes to my house and puts a bullet in my head and puts me out of my misery...”

“Oh god, poor you! I wouldn't make that offer on TT, someone might take you up on it, LOL. ;-) Saturday I was wishing someone would drill a hole in my face and one in my ear to let out the pressure.

“cya in a few ...”

“Nigal, what are the symptoms?”

“Lol! Lyra, that's exactly what I wished for before asinus condition got snowballed with the flu and bronchitis! It felt like someone was scraping out a sinus with an icepick and out of my cheek!”

“It’s just your run of the mill virus that makes ya feel like chit and makes you feel so run down just taking my pants off is a chore. Lyra, please help a brotha out…

I'm thinking a nice clean military ball will work but a Glaser safty slug would leave a better spatter pattern for the wife to clean up. LOL!”

“I'm not allowed to take people's pants off anymore Nigal, sorry. :-( Gross about the spatter!! LOL...

Poor treebait! Sinuses, flu & bronchitis...sounds like you got the 3-for-1 deal.”

“It was a very miserable 3 weeks, but I've been very grateful for my health since I got over all the crud. Laurel had it too, but 1) for only 1 week and 2) she slept through the whole thing. Lucky little girl there.”

Nigal

Here's another fifty.

BTW, how is Nigal going to pay, when he is out of his misery?”

“I have the $50 bill pinned to the front of my shirt. And please let the dog out to pee while you're here.”

“What's ailing you, Nigal?”

“Snot, congestion, snot, weakness, snot. Oh and more snot.”

“Have not had my coffee yet this morning.
Pretty beat up from the Sipsey bushwhack this weekend.”
