Sorry that I have been gone for so long, and unable to get on the site. I went to my parents home about a week before Thanksgiving and got sick right away. Two weeks later and I am still sick as a dog. Anyway, while there, I don't have access to the internet. I was supposed to come home on Saturday after Tanksgiving, but was still so sick that I felt it was unsafe for me and for fellow drivers for me to be on the road, as I get very dizzy. I saw a DR there at a walk-in clinic, but you would have thought I made myself sick, to get drugs! All I asked for was some cough meds with codiene (can't take the kind with the stronger stuff), and the Dr told me over the counter cough meds is just as good, to try that. Well I did, and I still have this freaking cough. I finally got back to my home and in to see my PCP this morning. She gave me several diff meds, so hopefully I will feel like being on here for more time tomorrow.
I just want to say thank you to all of you that were concerned about me not being here. I appreciate ALL the hugs and messages.
This is my Great Big Hug to all of you. It would take me a month to hug each one of you back, so I hope this will do.
Love and Hugs

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
OTC cough meds have never done a thing for my coughs...I have had a cold since saturday...most of it is now gone 'cept the lingering cough...I have missed you !!!!
Hope your cold and cough clears up soon.
I'm sorry kathy. I hope that you get to feeling better soon. I just got over that myself, and now it's making it go round with all the kids, and I'm fighting to keep it away from me again. My son has a fever and congestion as we speak, so does my daughter. Nasty stuff it is.
I have NEVER noticed any help from the OTC cough syrups either. I hate even buying them. I don't want to buy them for the kids either. Not 3 minutes ago, they were asking me to get some, and I was telling them that "they don't do anything". Interesting that I see this post now.
I wonder why it is that so much of that stuff sells, when it doesn't really work. It just makes us "feel" better maybe?
Anyway, glad you're back, sorta. Hope to see you hoppin around on the board again real soon.
Get Well soon, val
