*takes the chicken noodle soup, sniffling loudly*
Thank you, TAK. I almost said TAKy, but that doesn't sound nice. I appreciate this. The first day my throat hurt and I was so body-sick that after I took a shower I needed a nap. It's now progressed to coughing up verious phlegmy things and feeling like I'm going to throw up. Nurse said it is from all the snot in my stomach, which did not help the nausea.

Sounds really similar to what I just got over. The thing that really struck me about that cold was the feeling of tears running down my face. My eyes would get really watery and then usually one tear would leak out. It was nice and cool against my skin too (darn fever).
I suppose I was just trying to come with something (anything!) to make the darn thing more tolerable.
Anyway, hope you get better soon

I'm just getting over a cold, too. Obviously, I was infected while browsing Hatrack. Thanks a lot, Katie.

My eyes sometimes fill up when I sneeze, but that's partly because I'm the queen of marathon sneezing. I rarely if ever sneeze only once, and have been known to sneeze up to 15 times in a row.

Not...tears, you say? Well, I can't say I've experienced that warm feeling as it rises in the back of your head. Hope you feel better!

And on top of everything, Slash's "I'm sick" thread got more posts in the first hour than mine has total. This is so sad.

I have an unfortunate tendency to smack someone's hand when I long for them to pat me on the head. Besides, it's kind of like the rose/thorn/brush outside Sleeping Beauty's castle - there's less traffic, but you know the ones who made it through really care.

Do you feel well enough to type up a full inventory of your possessions? Of course I have dibs on the altima, but there might be other stuff I want that I don't know you have -- like historic Boy Scout patches. A list would be great. E-mail addy's in my profile.
Thanks.
P.S. Should you get better (which would be great, btw), I could use a replacement Tote 'n' Chip. Mine seems to be missing a few corners.
quote:Scouts who have their Tote-N-Chip in their possession can carry pocketknives of a folding nature. Any abuse of knife or axe safety observed by a leader will be grounds for losing a corner. When all corners are gone, so is the Tote-N-Chip and so is the right to carry a knife.

Dang, colds suck. I haven't had a bad one since January which was close to pneumonia I think *pours you tea, gives you a hot water bottle because they are cute and some more soup*

you know what works wonders? Garlic. A whole mess a' garlic. Eat it in soup; swallow it whole - not only does it kill every little beastie in you, but it'll keep everyone else far enough away that you won't risk re-contamination.
5 days...and it's still as bad as when it started? ...Dr? Maybe? You may have an infection of some sort if your snot is not letting up.(especially if it's coming out yellow. EW!! Yeah, I know it's gross.)
I hope you feel better soon!!

I started getting sick on Thursday night. Friday was really bad, but Saturday was good. Then Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were bad, though there were a few times when I almost thought I was actually getting better. But the darn thing just won't go away!
