Whaaaaahhhhh! I burned myself lighting the woodstove this morning! My pioneer ancestors are turning in their graves. I hoep to heck we have Vitamin E oil here in sick bay.

I think you girls healed me :lol: feeling a little better today :D

Ruth do you have any aloe? It works great on burns.

My skin hurts where the compression cuffs (if that's what they're called.) were put on, but generally, it isn't too bad. My back hurts and my leg is throbbing, but I think that I'll be okay. Some Tylonel should take care of that.

Got to clean that kitchen and bathroom today. Maybe fold some clothes. I have a very boring life.

Hope you're feeling better in here!! Send out a cabana boy for me when you're massages are finished! I need a good one too! (I'll want the massage or cabana boy or both!!) :o

hey, ya know laughter helps the body heal!!! We need a good laugh!

I have a headache and the room is spinning. NEED TO SLEEP!!!! Trying to stay up so I can have a better sleep tonight.

Oh, this is a great thread. :rolleyes:

Ruthie, are you okay, hon? That burn must HURT! It's one of those ones that makes you want to burst into tears, right? I know... :grouphug:

Boy, do I feel crappy. I had a good workout at the Y this morning (first time since catching this darned cold), came home, ate a small bag of chips and a bag of bridge mixture, then fell into an uneasy, carbohydrate-induced sleep. :mad: My head is full of cold, my body is full of sugar, and I FEEL LIKE CRAP!!!

Hope you're all feeling fine. Doesn't sound like it, but I'm sending you good thoughts.

I think we need a great big pitcher of cranberry martinis!
I feel like I am getting a cold but am convincing myself it's just a reaction from my 'flu shot.
Hot tea and lemon, anyone? Scotch and hot Neo-Citran? Preparation H? Hey! It works for cold sores, I'm told.

OK, I am on my way to this wonderful sickie beach. I have a sinus infection and inner ear infection and I don't feel good; however, this too shall pass. I would like a hotwater bottle and a blankie and lots of those cranberry martinis :lol:

Hi chickies. I am on the mend. My cold is almost gone. But I think that I want to be sick again. This place sounds like fun. I really want to snuggle up and keep warm. It is cold and rainy here again. Please can I come and play. I don't even have anything to complain about but I could make something up. LOL. Have a great week-end chicks.

I know a thought that will make you feel a little better about your ills at the moment! My friend (a man) has a terribly large hemorrhoid. It is about the size of a golf ball. He is using antibiotics and steroids, both in suppository form, and has to have bed rest and sitz baths. It isn't going down, and he didn't call me to update me tonight, which means he is probably in the emergency room getting it looked at. My wincing ovary doesn't seem to hurt as bad when I think of him! :(

So I was wise to bring along the Prep H?

Well, one good thing about last night... I didn't have any hotflashes. :D
My cold has developed into something horrible. I really need one of those things to pump warm salt water through my nasal passages. I wonder where that website was...

Aw, Ellis! Can you just sort of snuffle it up - the warm salty water, I mean. Please move to the back of the Sick Bay as we don't wnat to see or hear you do it! I'll turn up the music.

Oh! There's Happy. Hi Happy. :wave:
You know, I think there's some sort of virus going around.

You're not supposed to INHALE the salt water, Ruth. You pump it up one nostril, and it comes out the other. Theoretically.
Did you know you can die if you eat too much salt?
Did you know you can die if you drink too much water?
I don't know the quantities, but I believe they're quite something.
I've GOT to have something nice to eat... I am SO sick...

Ellis dear why don't you go take a nap and when you wake up you can have some of my crockpot beef stew (if thats what it turns out to be) There is enough for all of us...if you dare :lol: :grouphug:
