Cold in the Head

Looks like I'm not going to be getting some of the things I wanted to do this weekend accomplished since I woke up with a head cold. I have to take care with these things because they can turn into bronchitis and pneumonia for me very quickly so it's off to the drugstore for stuff and then maybe back to bed.

Hugs,
Erin

Better nipped in the bud

Head colds are miserable, invariably mine turn into a sinus infection. But as long as you can keep it out of your chest, they're not too bad. I started to give all the details of what ensues when I get a chest infection, but decided nobody would care to read the graphic details. ;-)

Take care of yourself, and stock up on the chicken soup while you're at the store. And maybe some hot chocolate mix. Colds call for comfort foods. :-)

head cold

Here now you take a warm shower and we'll just tuck you into bed nice and comfy...

I'll toddle off and prepare some warm chicken soup while you just rest and feel better.

There's nothing so important that you must be doin' it now.

That's a dear, just lay down and stay warm.

And it really does work! LOL.

I prefer hot tea with lemon and albondigas (Mexican meatball soup).

Hang your hat on one of the posts, get in bed with a bottle of vodka and drink until you see two hats. The next morning the cold will be gone! :)

Neti Pot

As silly as it sounds you might want to try a Neti Pot. People swear by them.

Trust me on this

Hi Erin. Try this. Instead of using halls or some other kind of lossange, try Jolly ranchers. Trust me. They work great and they don't irritate you like halls does after a while. I gave them to my grandma a while back when she had pneumonia and now she swears by them.

Get well soon. We need you.

My remedy

Several large glasses of the single malt of your choice. Doesn't cure the cold but who cares? My old Dad always said that a treated cold lasts for a week and an untreated one for seven days. The advantage of my remedy is that you lose count ;)

What ever you do, just keep warm and don't worry about us. Just get well.

Geoff

Please get well.

I wish I lived close enough to come over and make you chicken noodle soup every day.
