My wife is a caregiver and last week she was sick all week with a bad cold that she caught from one of her patients. I felt real good all week. Today we were supposed to go to her mothers for a Christmas party. I woke up at 1:30 am feeling like crap. Took some Tylenol and cold medicene and went back to bed. Didn't feel any better at 4:30 when I got up. So I will stay home. Her mom is 89 and dosen;t need a bad cold. I was really looking forward to going as she cooks a really great ham.
awe I'm sorry that sucks, seems so many bugs going around at the moment everyone is sick, I have been ill about 6 weeks now with one thing and another, maybe if your wife goes she can bring you some of that extra yummy ham on a plate to enjoy without sharing your bugs! feel better soon.
Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. It does suck to be sick around the holidays. Your mother-in-law must be quite spry if at 89 she still gets around and makes the ham. I'll bet your wife brings a plate full of goodies back for you.
She still lives in her own house, but has children behind her, to one side and about 1/2 block down the street. Also a granddaughter across yhe street. We are the only ones any distance from her and that'e only 30 miles. But she is slowing down a lot. She has said that this is the last year for her having it, bust she has said that for the past 8 years.
I really like the sound of your mother-in-law Capt. My own grandmother also kept repeating herself about being tired and worn out, but she kept at it full tilt until the day she died. She was "only" 84 then. I wish her fate will be mine.
I've had to avoid my mother-in-law too CK because of having a bad cold. I certainly don't want to give it to her (she's in her mid eighties) as she helps out at a lunch club for pensioners. Can you imagine all those 'old dears' having to forego Christmas because of me?!! I hope you'll soon be feeling better. Maybe your wife will bring you back a doggy bag.
She brought back a big plate of ham and another of turkey and a bunch of different deserts. My MIL bakes the best ham. My wife said that it must have been a 15 lb ham. So I had a big fat ham sandwich with swiss cheese on it for supper!
So glad you didn't miss out altogether on your mother-in-laws cooking CK. Bet that sandwich tasted sooooo good. :-D
CK so glad you had a great ham sandwich. Tomorrow it will be a turkey sandwich!! And all those good desserts. You will be well in no time!
I'm so sorry to here you are sick.I'm just getting over a viral infection.I was down for a while .Hope your better by Christmas.
Eeewwwe! Glad you got some Ham after all Capt. Thank goodness you were still able to taste it with all that congestion!
Strange question, but you brought it up !!!! Ever wonder where all the snot keeps coming from. You blow and blow and it just keeps coming!
