I'm going to take a few more days R & R....Christmas here has been anything but enjoyable. Christmas Eve I felt a cold coming on...and by Christmas Day....I was down & out! And have been ever since....
I've never had a cold hit me in my throat first....for days I could not swallow...and the pain was excruciating! Tylenol was all I could take. I couldn't drink anything or use lozenges for any type of relief...then a cough started. Again...from my throat. It is a real mess. Covid was a cake walk compared to this...(which I tested negative for three times last week).
No fever...so I felt it was viral. No medical professionals available....massive doctor and nurse shortages. They couldn't have helped me anyway. Turns out...it is viral. And still with me. The pain & sore throat is about 75% gone....but the cough & runny nose has set in. And I still feel pretty miserable.
Mr. Seventies (or Dr. Dad) as our daughter calls him....has been taking excellent care of me. He had a terrible cold about two weeks ago....we tend to share things!! I think it's in the marriage vows....
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their loved ones! I want a do-over!! At least on the Christmas dinner...I could have been eating the tires on the SUV! Nothing had taste then....that will be a few more days before my taste buds come back....
See you all again...hopefully soon. xoxo
Hi Charlotte, I hope you feel better soon and take care over there! Happy New Year to you too!
