Sick is expressly forbidden. Since everything that is not expressly forbidden is mandatory, you are not sick. If you think you are sick, water, drugs, rest, corgis, and someone else's cooking are the best cures. And doctors. GOOD doctors. And did I mention rest?

Subject: RE: BS: Sorcha Sick
From: McGrath of Harlow

Well, if Sorcha's sensible she won't be reading all this good advice until she's a bit better. And if you are reading it, be off to bed - with a hot-water bottle and a Walkman and some good tapes, and get your head down for a snooze any time you feel like it. And as soon as you feel a bit better - DON'T LET ON. Make the most of the rest.

Incidentally, talking books can be as good as music, or even better, when you're under the weather.

Be better for Christmas, and combine that with Thanksgiving this year. You could do it on Boxing Day...

As for InOBU's PS If I weren't a Quake, I say throw a drop of poteen in as well... -- in my experience Quakers seem to have a sensibly appreciative attitude towards drink, seeing it as one of God's most welcome gifts. Almost as much so as Catholics and Jews.

Can't believe no one's mentioned GARLIC, mother nature's own antibiotic. You don't have to chew it, you can take it in (relatively) odor-free pills. With all the whiskey you're ordered to consume, though, you might be able to chow down cheerfully on some raw cloves.

I have a couple of friends here in Boulder whose bouts with flu have lasted two full weeks of serious, with a long, gradual, trailing-off tail end after that. Stay warm. Read this thread, it will cheer you up and make you smile. Of course if you don't read this and immediately forward it to everyone you know, the mortgage company will foreclose on your first-born child and locusts will consume your mail, your cats will turn into goats and your chimney will collapse into your sink.

So you better get well asap.

My naturopath swears by a mixture of lemon, ginger and chili powder in water as hot as you can stand it. It packs quite a punch - it would be a strong germ that could live through this.

Of course, staph is a serious one, so the drugs and all the advice about rest etc should do the trick. I would also say don't start trying to do too much when you start to feel better. Take it easy and be kind to yourself for a bit longer than you feel you really need to, so that you don't suffer any relapses.

Certainly this wasn't the staph of life!!

Stay quite, keep rested and warm, let others do for you, and don't worry about staph like Thanksgiving -- you can staph the turkey later. There'll be more to be thankful for when you're all better.

My brother's favorite cure: take a quart of the cheapest, worst, most paint-peeling whiskey you can find. Dissolve a whole 12 oz. package of Hall's Mentho-Lyptus cough drops in it (note to the UK and elsewhere: if you don't have these, they are menthol and ecalyptus flavored and taste absolutely awful). Then sit back and tell yourself that if you don't get better you'll make yourself drink some of it.

Anything I can send that'll help?

No, you all got it backward--I finally called Dr. and said, put me in hospital, ain't getting no help here. He did actually take me there tho,and I stayed 3 days. I feel 'better' but not well. Yes, I am being VERY careful and go to bed at the drop of a hat. Looks like an enforced hospital stay is the way to stop smoking......haven't had one since Tues and don't even want one. (Just as well the shape the lungs are in with staph.) Bad part is, that when they brought my meds for me to bring home, they missed the anitbugotic.....I can't/won't drive, so will have to send 'someone' up after it when 'someone' is available....I NEED this stuff. Going back to bed now.

(Remember some of those talks we've had?)**bg** I did speak to Brian the day you went in hospital and your hospital roomie a couple of times when you were sleeping. Sounds to me like you need to visit a Mudcatter's Nurturing Centre to get really well rested and healed, but we'll do the best we can to see you well healed there. I am still in Casper with the redheaded grandson and mom, as well as uncle. We leave in a week or two with the grandson and mom to go home. I'll give you a ring in a day or two. Don't mess around with this...do everything the docs say and then some and to hell with the rest of them, as you say.

I love you and am sorry I am come so late to your thread. I don't like to tie up the phone line, nor use my son's computer, too much.

Take down the fiddle and play it. No music, just play. Just don't overdo.

Sorcha, so glad to see you are home and on the mend, albeit slowly. Take care not to overdo it, or you could be back in hospital for Christmas dinner too!

Pet the dogs as often as you can, it's good for the blood pressure and mostly they know when they can be bouncy and when to be calm.

Take care, and keep your spirits up - you know we're here when you need us!

Just in the mood to mix and muss...

I'm guessing that Sorcha is feeling a lot like this:

Sorry to be late, Sorch, but I'd like to recommend that in the future you have in the home the following: Astragalus (470mg), Elderberry extract and herbal tea.

If you feel something *comin' on* then:

***Astragalus (470mg) 2 pills, 3 times per day with food***

***Elderberry extract, 40 drops, 3 times a day with food***

***Herbal tea, 3 times a day with or without food***

(Note: Keep up until symptoms quit. In most cases this and rest will stop the bug in its tracks. If it doesn't, it will shorten it's duration and minimalize thew symtoms...)

If cold symptoms (sinus, post nasal drip, sneezing, runny nose, etc.) exist:

Cold-ezze with Zinc + the above..........

This works!!!!!!!!!......................

Sorry, fir not coming in earlier and hoping you a speedy recovery...

Talked to our Scorchy today. Sounds awful, and has half a brain when awake. TV is too much to follow, so audio books are out. Anyone have a spare masseuse we can wrap up and send her? Or maybe masseur....

I wish I could be there to rock her as she sleeps. Think lullies for a burnt-out Scorchy.

Sorry to hear you're ailing Sorcha. Hope you get better soon. How in the hell do you get a staph infection in the lungs? You been smoking old bed sheets?

The blessing of all the prophets and all their deities be upon you.

Walla, walla, bing bang.

Well, staph is an Opportunist. It's always out there, looking for people with run down immune systems, tired, already sick, etc. So it went on the attack.

Feeling a bit better, was in chat for a little while last night, but still tired, tired. Always sleepy and run out of gas real quick. Hopefully, another week will do it...I still think I could sleep the clock round, but have done nearly that for a week. Time to get a least a little bit done, but nothing strenuous.

Slow and steady does it lass. I learned the hard way from my round of pneumonia that lung stuff makes you feel like the walking dead AND takes a long slow ramp-up back to relative normalcy. (Don't press me on that, now! :>))

Not 'all well' yet, but definitely on the mend. Possibly because I slept 20 hrs yesterday. Managed to get the dishwasher run today, and go to the store. Think it's couch potato time. I'm ready to be All Well so I can see Owen.....I miss the little bugger!
