I'm sick~and leaving tomorrow for a week!

[minmate]

Okay guys, I'm sipping hot chocolate (in lieu of tea), gargling salt water adn sucking on lozenges after spraying my throat down with the spray stuff and taking benadryl. I feel better (for now!)... but am exhausted and overwhelmed at how much I have left to do! I was going to clean the house today before I left! Dunno if that's going to happen this time! Anyone have any magical suggestions for getting a house clean and fast (without having to exert too much energy! lol... gotta keep my rest up you know!)...

Let your house go if you can! If you must have some clutter out of the way use laundry baskets to pick up clutter and then empty when you can get to them. Advil is like a miracle for me when I'm achy...sometimes I will take three(Dr approved). Try an ugent care or after hours if you can't get an appt with your DR. That would also eliminate the need to take your kiddos if you waited until DH is home. If you have something bacterial you will be that much closer to feeling better...plus, who wants to seek out a Dr after you are at WDW. Good luck...I hope you have great trip.

We're battling it too! DD8 is recovering from mono. She finally started getting some energy last week. DD5 has had a fever for over a week, but just started coughing Sat. night. She didn't have any other symptoms til then. If she's still sick tomorrow, I'm going to take her to the Dr. in the AM. We're leaving at 4 pm tomorrow!

Hu!

When I saw your name on this thread I thought OH NO!!!! Sending lots of pixie dust your way so that you can go on the GG cruise! When I start to feel a cold coming on, I take massive amts of vitamin c and drink a ton of water. If your throat is red and you also have a fever, it's possible you have strep. If you're not feeling better and get in to see your Dr., maybe a walk in clinic would be a possibility? Anyway, hang in there & hope you start feeling better soon!
