Last week was fever. This week it's cough and chest congestion. Not pleasant.

2. Ugh, hugs to you.
We've had all manner of head colds, and a couple different incarnations of intestinal garbage. Gaaaah!

12. I injured my tendons on my right ankle.
I really tore them.

Watch where you step, one little hole is all it takes.

It works, I swear by it
I take it when I am feeling like a cold coming on
I put a packet in a glass, and add sprite, mist or 7-up
The DR is in!!!!

Trust me on this one.....

9. Norovirus?
I think that's the name.
BIG outbreak in Boston.
Flu-like.
Vomiting, runs, fever.
Get well fast.

10. There's a Norwalk virus and a rotovirus.
Both are horrible but I think it's the Norwalk that can last more than a week. Ugh.

18. Ugh....
Nothing that bad, thank god. The one right after Christmas might have been a mild version of that, but (cross every fucking crossable I have), we haven't had that.

11. Yes
Except only just started getting sick yesterday. My throat hurts so much I can't swallow. I just woke up from a 2 hr nap, so at least I'm not dog tired anymore and finally hungry. Let's hope I don't puke it up. And I hope the rest of my family stays far away from me so they don't get it.

I hope you family heals quickly and for good. :hug:

15. Yet another benefit of being a geezer.
When our daughter was in grade school and high school I got 2-3 colds a year.
Now?
Haven't had a cold in 3 or 4 years!
