Still Sick

There's not much to really report about here. I'm still sick with this stupid head cold. My throat is still kinda sore, no matter how much gargling I've done, or how much honey and lemon I've been eating. The Tylenol helps, but I'm trying not to take it too much. If my throat is still really bothering me in the morning, I'll call my PCP to see if she wants me on anything. All day I've been blowing my nose, which I guess is ok, but not when it's every 5 minutes!!! And my poor hands are so dry from washing them or using antibacterial stuff every time I blow my nose. I just really hope this miserable cold ends soon!! I haven't had a cold in a long long time, this sucks!!!

The only good thing is that I've had to stay home, and I've been working on jewelry. I made 3 necklaces yesterday, and 5 today. I have made necklaces with all of Mandy's pendants (I think I made 15 of them)! I really have to admit that they came out so pretty. Now I need to make more of my own stuff!! I'm getting there, slowly but surely!

Colleen I am so sorry that you are still sick! I was hoping that your cold would not be to bad. Darn it!!

Keep up the good work on the jewelry but do not do more than you feel up to doing.

Hope you feel better soon!

Love,
Sheila

Sorry to hear that you are still battling that cold. Have you tried using saline spray for your runny nose? It sometimes works for me. I think it dries the swollen membranes a bit.

Can you post photos of the necklaces you made? I'd love to see them.

I tell you what when I got that stuff I had it for 3 weeks and I ended up having to take an antiobotic and I used 3 large boxes of kleenex, I was so tired of blowing, and all I did was sit around, I hope yours does not last that long.

love barb

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save...

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in ...

Lost

Growing up with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease was sometimes lonely, because there wasn't anyone around me who felt the same way I did physically. No one had to stay out of gym because they got too tired and too short of breath like I did on a constant basis. No one had to wear a holter monitor like the one time I had to in 4th grade. Talk about trying to play mum ball in class, all you could hear was the monitor thing making noise. Although I could always go to sports games, I wasn't able to participate in any type of sport, because again, it was just physically way too much for my body to handle. I didn't really regret any of this. I thought it was just me and my normal. I thought I was the only person out there who really dealt with this kind of thing, but that was ok. I graduated high school, and started college. I worked, went to classes, and in the last year of college, started going out a lot more. I graduated with my education degree, and began ...
