Anyone else taking care of someone ill? Paddy has the flu. :(

[Jack_Dawson]

1. I can whip up some Thera-Flu

[terrya]

2. I hope Paddy gets well very soon.

Paddy is definitely in good hands.

4. I think he'll recover.

Just gave him a backrub, and he fell asleep.

[Bertha Venation]

3. Mrs. Venation is taking very good care of me.

Poor Paddy. Give him my love and a big hug, will you please?

BTW, Tony, congratulations on your nomination. You rock! How is your face/eye healing? Gonna get an eyebrow stud to hide the scar? ;)

[Cuban_Liberal]

7. Thank you very much!

I'll give him a hug when he next wakes up, and tell him it's from you.

I got the stitches out yesterday, and the scar will be hidden in my eyebrow, thank God. :)

[Bertha Venation]

17. Yippee!

:grouphug:

[BeatleBoot]

5. We got the shot!

I swear by the flu vaccine!

Haven't had the flu since.

[Bertha Venation]

12. I got the shot, too. Rasser frasser.....

Now I have my first deep chest cold/sinus infection/URI in years. I know they're not related, but . . . :tinfoilhat:

;)

[Lars39]

6. Yes. 103 degree temps here.

Lemonade seems to be the preferred beverage, though.

Hope padraig gets better soon and that you don't get it, too. :hi:

8. Popsickles are good for keeping a fever down too

[Cuban_Liberal]

10. He ate a fudge bar.

Same principle, I think. :hi:

[madmax]

9. Ginger Ale

Feel better. :hi:

11. Wish I had somebody to take care of my single self...*moan*

worst case of flu I've ever had, will it ever end?

fever, chills, horrible "smelly" cough, weak, achy muscles, no energy, stuffy head, cloudy mind...ugh
-

antibiotics. some tussin syrup, ibuprofen, caugh drops, runny nose med, Diet RC Cola, and for some reason, a lot of hot baths...

How long does this damned thing last?

:(

(edited to remove part about not having insurance and therefore getting a perscription of anitbiotics from a relative - because that's illegal and I surely would rather take my chances than to break any law ;) wouldn't want to leave the wrong impression)

[Bertha Venation]

15. No insurance. I am so sorry.

I don't know how long it lasts, but be careful, please. Talk to people around you, ask their opinions, and remember Jim Henson. He died of pneumonia because he didn't get care--didn't think he was that sick.

"smelly cough" -- my sisters & I call it "musty-dusty." Blech.

[Cuban_Liberal]

18. She's right!

Take your temperature, and if it gets over 102, call a doctor or go to the emergency room. It could be a secondary infection.

[Skip Intro]

19. Thanks BV and CL

If this thing isn't on the way out, or gets worse, over the weekend, I'll see a doc, but I'm hopeful the antibiotics and vitamin dosing is starting to have a effect.

Dangit, I thought I'd gotten thru the flu season unscathed.

There sure is a down side to being single when you're sick tho, imho. I'm gonna have to find myself somebody to run ragged before the next time - :evilgrin:

[SeanQuinn]

13. Get well Soon!

I wish for him to get well soon. Go J. Edwards 2004!

[Bertha Venation]

16. welcome to DU

Senator Quinn! ;)

:hi:

[sbj405]

14. Jello puddings pops

used to love them when I was sick. I can't seem to find them anymore. Anyone seen them lately?

[Pithlet]

20. I don't think they make those anymore

I miss them.

[blondeatlast]

21. Kleenex? You BETTER check!

[Cuban_Liberal]

22. I bought 2 boxes of Puffs, just to be sure.

Check! ;)
