My sympathies, Wanda, although I find it a bit hard to relate at the moment. Last winter I had the first real cold I’d had in years, and fighting it was contingent to attacking the government, and we all know that’s a winning battle. So, every day when I wake up if I can breathe clearly and my head isn’t spinning and my tummy isn’t gurgling, I say a quick “Thank you, Lord.” I hope you will soon be able to join me in my daily routine.

Wanda ,I’m not allowed to practice medicine any moe,but sometimes I can’t stop myself. A few years ago when the baby-killing flu scare was raging we started using plain old baby wipes constantly. Every time we went shopping we used one on the door handles,the buggy handles, the gas pumps for sure ’cause you know other rednecks will blow their nose and wipe with the hands or arms.yuck! WE found a little store chain called Maxway that seels the bwby wipes for $1 a pack. Others charge up to $3 a pack for the same identical wipe. They have worked for us. We haven’t had a cold in several years. I would ask my doctor about an inhaler like Maxair or Xopenex too when it””’s bronchitis. Bronchitis is serious, Not to be sneezed at lightly. I have found that most doctors are ignorant about many thjngs. The inhaler will loosen the mucous so it is easier to expel . DO NO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ever take ADVAIR Spiriva may be as dangerous.. I know first hand the deadly effects of these inhalers.
Do you remember some time back when you opened the door to that unknown gent? You did so against your better judgment, right? You obeyed his instructions, right? Your encyclopedias never arrived, did they? Honestly, I try and warn people about *Them* all the time….
At the moment, I don’t have health insurance and a little leary about even reading your post :). I am a long-time childcare provider and no matter how hard I try to keep the germs away, I’m invariably the one who gets the sickest. Last year, I got that dreaded H1N1. My doctor asked me, “How did you expect to run away from it when you can’t have the shot and you take care of kids?” There is never enough Clorox Wipes in my home.
I am glad to hear you are feeling better Wanda! Take care.

I don’t know how you make illness sound funny, but am so glad you can. We have to laugh, otherwise we’ll cry. So glad you are feeling better.
Well, you know they say laughter is the best medicine! Hope you’re laughing at this as much as everyone who reads it!
