MaryGail, I'm feeling so sorry for you. It's horrible to feel so bad and not get a single "Bless your heart"...or "Let me do that for you"..... Women aren't supposed to get sick...only men and children. I hope your head feels better ... do you have Allegra D or similar drug. I keep it all the time. We don't have colds, but do have allergies and sinus infections - it's so warm and humid in South Texas. Everything is trying to bloom and the air is white with pollen. ah chew!
I wish I could fix you a hot cup of lemon tea...and bring it to you. and as we say in the South..."Bless your poor little heart!"
Oh, Marygail--I hope you get some sleep tonight. It is awful to be sick and not even get a little bit of sympathy. I hope you feel better real soon. HUGS TO YOU :)
Marygail, I hope you feel better soon. I understand your frustration with his wanting to go home. While we were in the hospital after my DH's heart attack, he asked over and over and over why we can't go home and it was hard to keep him in the room. He was determined to go home right then. It drives you out of your mind even when you feel okay.
If I don't feel good, I try not to let my DH know. Because if I do, then HE gets sick! Or he thinks he does. But I had a doozie of a cold the last couple of weeks and couldn't hide it from him - well, of course, he "got" a cold too. So I gave him tic-tacs and he got over his sooner than I did!
Isn't that just like when we were little kids that my bruise was bigger than yours? My husband is the same way, whatever I have...from a bruise to a cold his is worse.
thanks everyone, I`m feeling a little better, coughing a bit now but I can breath..... My dh said he had a headache the other day , he complains about that all the time, I give him a breathmint also, seems to work wonders lol
When my preschool daughter would complain of a ''head-egg", I would go to the medicine cabinet, carefully prepare a little square of gauze, dampen it with alcohol, and with a great deal of sympathy, suggest she lie down on my 'big bed' and hold the gauze to her head, right where it "hurt". Worked like a charm...her "head-egg" would get better everytime. Sweet memory.
Nancy--my daughter when she was maybe 2 or 3, used to love to wear bandaids with stars and other geometric designs on them. She would come and hold up her little thumb and say "I gots a sore sum." Of course, I thought that was about the cutest thing she could have said and I would bandage her 'sum'. We went through a lot of them n those days.
I love the expression "sore sum". After 9/11, and the subsequent anthrax scare, one of my little grandchildren came home from pre-school one day and announced he wasn't feeling well. His mom asked him to tell her where "it hurt"... He replied, "All over. I think I've got "THE ANTHRAX". For months after that, we'd mimic that ailment when we weren't feeling 100%...We'd just feel like we, too, had "The Anthrax!".. It covered all sorts of ailments.
