Stupid cold

[Sevenrd]

I started feeling sick Sunday night and by Monday night it was going full-force: stuffed-up nose, plugged-up ears, headache, sore throat. Here it is Wednesday and I'm feeling a little better, but still pretty crappy.

I always lose my sense of taste when I get sick, so Thanksgiving dinner's going to be great fun if it doesn't return by tomorrow. :(

I also have a detail on a Bimmer 740 scheduled for Friday, but I may have to reschedule that if I'm still feeling crappy. I can't imagine pulling an 8 - 10 hour detail all the while coughing, blowing my nose and generally feeling run down.

That's all...sorry for the rant...I'm going back to the couch...

Oh, I am sorry! I hope you are feeling better by tomorrrow!! Make sure you keep taking mediactions consistently. Hey have you ever tried steam? One of those vapor things women use on their face? It really helps to unclog congestion and loosen things up.
Take care,
Lauren

NOT!! You go the JD route, I can tell.
You are quite the comic!!:p

Thanks for the sympathy, everyone!

Let's see....from what I've read, I've come up with my own possible remedy. How about a tablet of airborne dropped in a shot of Jack Daniels. Repeat as necessary. That should do the trick!

Actually I'm feeling a bit better now. Just can't breathe out of my nose. My wife was kind enough to pick up some breatheright strips which are helping. Hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow feeling better.

I just ran through the same thing. I cut down all junk food (yes, no burgers or fries). Drink a lot of liquid.

Glad you are felling better. But you still need your rest. Take a few shots of JD tonight before you go to bed.

I prefer Hennessy. Goes down so smooth.:p

;) To each his own. I would have said vodka.

I rarely get colds. But when I do, they knock me on my rear end.

I would suggest taking zinc daily. In our house, we have found it makes a tremendous difference in if or not anyone gets sick!!

How's the patient? Did you get to enjoy Thanksgiving even a wee bit? Doesn't just suck to be ill on a holiday?
