Doing Better.

[eyesthatslay]

I'm so happy to report that I am feeling better! I slept another 13 or so hours last night, but after I was up for a few hours I could tell a definite improvement. I can once again smell and taste food, and my head is much less congested. I'm still coughing pretty badly whenever my meds wear off, but it isn't painful like it was.

I so appreciate all of those on my f-list who have taken the time to pop in and wish me well. You've all cheered me up so much, and made being stuck at home so much more fun. I lurve you gals! I'd probably be mad with cabin fever by now if not for my laptop, and my "conversations" with all of you. :)

Thanks also to angstchic who has been so sweet about calling to check on me, and seeing if I need anything. My husband has been a doll too, helping with the housework, and making sure that I'm fed and well stocked up on tissues, movies, etc. Plus, my baby dogs have rarely left my side. So all in all, I'm a lucky sick gal. ;)

I did a little shopping on the internet today, and folded some laundry. (don't worry, I'm pacing myself) I really want to take down all my snowman decor, but I will have to have the hubby's help since that will involve getting storage totes from our outbuilding. It's driving me nuts that I've still got my snowman flags up outside, and it's February now. :P I ordered some cute "country angel with hearts" flags, and expect the last one that was back ordered to be here in the next couple of days.

I'm so ready to be back to normal. I've always been the impatient sort. :)

Hubby was secretive about where he was going to get our dinner, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes home with. I think it is cute that he likes to surprise me.

Well, I'm off to browse around and see what's been going on with everyone else. *hugs*

So glad that you are going to be all better soon. At least since the office change, I can always bring something if you were to actually need it. Besides donuts, I mean. :P

[eyesthatslay.livejournal.com]

Meee too! Being sick, and not able to go and do anything fun stinks! Yeah, it's been really nice knowing that you would do that if I needed something. :) The donuts were so good, at least while I could taste them. :)

I just had a cup of tea, and omgosh! it tasted so good. It is nice to be able to taste stuff again. ;)

I am glad you are feeling better and able to actually taste stuff =) Don't over do it...wouldn't want you to have a relapse. I would say get plenty of rest but it looks like you are with the help of your meds.

[eyesthatslay.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Yeah, I'm being really careful not to overdo. I learned my lesson, but good, when I had a case of flu go south. I never, ever want to be that sick again.

Yes, thank goodness, the meds make getting rest very easy. :)

So very glad you are feeling better! Did the tussionex help a bunch? Heh, guess what i just went on yesterday? Yep, that would be our mutual friend :P And you're right, it's a good blend of honey and sugar with a mediciney aftertaste :)

I hope th hubby brought home a yummy surprise :)

P.S. Any news on Nat?

[eyesthatslay.livejournal.com]

The tussionex is the elixir of the Gods! :P It has helped me finally get the sleep and rest I needed to get better. I hope that now that you're on it, it will help you get better too, hon.

I hope th hubby brought home a yummy surprise
He did! One of my favorites. An amazing grilled chicken chef salad from one of our fave restaurants. Couldn't eat it all, but it was so yummy. :)

P.S. Any news on Nat?
Oh, I'm sorry, I should have emailed you! :( Right now it is a wait and see situation. Which is better than it was 24 hours ago. They were planning on removing him from life support, but now the Doctors want to give him more time to see if he can pull out of it. So please keep the prayers coming. *hugs*
