Poorly Sick!

Hi folk,

So lying in bed feeling really pants is not good. Even with Humphrey, the cat, here keeping me company!

Apparently I have a 'Chest Infection'. Really, is that why I feel pathetic, can't stop coughing, have very sore ribs and such a snotty nose you would not believe it! Honestly people, come on, where does all that gunk come from, did my lungs produce that... There's no way!!!

I'll remind myself of it next time I'm rubbing 'Vicks Vapour Rub' on the souls of my feet to prevent the cough at night! (I'm told its a reliable old wives tale but then so is Garlic that is supposed to deter vampires. Can't remember when I last met our friendly neighbourhood member of the dark side and I don't hang Garlic!)

Anyway, I'm fed up being poorly with sore ribs and sounding like a pre-pubescent boy!

So how did a simple cold turn into a 'Raging' Chest Infection? I hear you ask.
Well, remember a while ago when my friend passed away I said I was no longer going to worry about my vampire teeth? Do ya, huh?

At that time I had braces fitted to my teeth, again both expensive and painful but I thought necessary. So for the last four months have lived on a Porridge and Soup diet! ( if I had needed to lose weight it would have been great but at 120lbs I really didn't need too so have eaten chocolate ( should read , sucked, ) with impunity. How we put kids through this I'll never work out! To get to the point... My normal healthy diet was supplanted by a not so healthy one and the old immunity levels are lowwww!

So cold to chest infection in one stop. I can't eat again either so soon I'll look like a stick! Bring on the Cadburys!!!

Gotta go... Time for the old girl meds (antibiotics, Lemsip and ibuprofen) and a hot bath! Did someone mention a hot toddy? Was that with or without the alcohol, hate to say it but I could do with the calories! Lol

Bye till next time...
