Wow, we're all sick. More health~ma to erin, Teppy, Barb and everyone else who needs it.
Teppy, if you keep having breathing problems, then I echo the cries of "urgent care!" But if it helps, your symptoms sound a lot like mine, and TG telephoned my doc on Thursday and was told it's bad 'flu that's been going around. Really bad, but 'flu. But I am not a doctor nor do I play one on etcetera, so.
Fever went back up yesterday, but seems to be down properly now. Hoping for the ability to leave bed today. And to eat food!
oooh, prescripton cough syrup w/ codeine is, like, the BEST THING EVAH. Imagine sleeping! Without coughing! And when you wake up in the middle of the night coughing, all you have to do is swallow another dose and then back to magic land.
I've been taking codeine to sleep. It helps a lot. I need some cough syrup though - hacking my lungs up. I won't get to the doctor now because it's the weekend, so no prescription stuff for me, but Tesco's sells the best glycerin cough syrup in existence, so I'll be sending TG to get some of that (if she isn't already sick of running my illness-related errands. Which she probably is).
Can't remember if I congratulated you, Aims - if not, huge congratulations on the teaching job! That's fantastic. I hope it goes really well.
Glad to hear you got a new truck, Andi and DCJ. I hope it serves you well.
Utterly amazed to hear that Hil and Sparky get parents calling to ask for higher grades. Never once happened when I was teaching young adults. I'll be interested to see if the university students I teach next semester have more involved parents (although I doubt it). Maybe if I were teaching at Warwick or Oxford!
omnis, that's weird. (The most eventful thing that's happened at my uni since I've been there: students setting waste paper bins on fire.)
