Where You Been?
August 21st, 2008 . by CarySick.
Friday, after the show, was spent cleaning the house (with TMBWitW, who took the day off) so when the dogsitter came on Saturday she wouldn’t notice that we have five dogs who shed constantly.
We needed the dogsitter because TMBWitW’s aunt was in Kingman visiting the cousins. We left here at about 0600 to get to Kingman in time for breakfast with our very good friend, her fiancé, and her daughters at the Cracker Barrel. I had the slightest hint of a sinus headache. One of the cousin’s son had spent Friday sick, but that was not revealed to anyone until after we had left, at around 2000.
Soooo….
I woke up Sunday morning with no voice, swollen glands, and post-nasal drip. TMBWitW had a sinus thing going on. MEG sounded like a harbor seal and was running a slight temp. They stayed home while I went to church, although I did not sing and spent most of the service trying not to cough. Should’ve taken a laxative.
Monday – no conscious thoughts from any of us. TMBWitW managed to get hold of her doctor. They called in a prescription for her. With the help of Thera-Flu and Tylenol Cold, I managed to get my symptoms under control. MEG got an appointment for Tuesday morning.
Tuesday – TMBWitW went to work, and got sent home. She worked from home for a while, then went back to bed. MEG’s appointment revealed an ear infection. They called in a prescription. I boosted Tylenol’s stock some more.
Wednesday – TMBWitW works from home on Wednesdays anyway, so no biggie. Although, she didn’t get going until 0800 instead of her normal 0600. Not that I noticed – I slept until 0930. So did MEG.
Today – I spent most of last night keeping TMBWitW awake with my constant coughing and hacking. When she got up to go to work, she told me to call the doctor and get something, or she would muffle me herself. Medicine sure does make her cranky.
I sure hope I have a voice in time for the show tomorrow morning. BlogTalkRadio, The O Word, 0700 Mountain Standard Time (that’s 1000 on the east coast, 0700 on the west coast).
Thank you for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, God bless you all, Time, Inc. is a bunch of weasels, listen to The O Word on BlogTalkRadio, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
Good Grief, Cary, may you all please get well soon……..if for no other reason than to prevent TMBWinTW from having to resort to any “muffling”. Wishing you much chicken soup for a speedy recovery.
mmmm – chicken soup sounds good, even for breakfast right now…
Well now, go get a piece of gingerroot and shave off about a quarter cup of slivers and place them in a mug. Pour boiling water over the sliver and let steep for 10 minutes. Drink a cup six or seven times a day. Tastes bad, works good. I leave the skin on the gingerroot and just wash it really well.
Get well all.
Well, good luck to you; I’ve been reeling under some kind of inner ear infection. I’ve been dizzy, horrible vertigo — particularly in the morning when I first wake up. The entire world spins and I’ve been feeling “off” for the past two weeks. Sometimes the world just spins and I damned near fall down. Went to doc, he thinks it’s an inner ear virus but, man, it don’t seem to be going away very damned fast. It’s horrible being light-headed all the time.

Samantha – I’ll give that a try. Thanks for the headsup.
BZ – could it be stress-related? Sure sounds like you got some serious balance issues going on. I hate being light-headed more than anything else.
No blood involved?? No bones sticking thru?? And you call that SICK??
Sorry, the old version came thru…
Glad y’all are alive and kicking… Get a bottle of Jim Beam, a half gallon oughta do, sip til no pain is felt, repeat as necessary..
I know, I’m getting all wussified in my old age.
I don’t even self-medicate anymore; if I still did that I wouldn’t be here writing this…
