I’m Really Sick of Being Sick – and I’m finally well again…

Update January 25, 2014 – I’m finally feeling 100% myself again. Last Tuesday morning I awoke and realized that my chest didn’t hurt anymore. The pain had gone away and then come back with a vengeance. I hope I never have to go through all that again!

Update January 9, 2015 – I’m better – back at work – but still fighting the mucus in my lungs…

For those of you who may wonder why I haven’t been blogging, there’s a simple answer… On December 14, the day folks were flying out from our annual Salt Lake Christmas Tour, I came down very with a virus, making me very ill. I traveled the 900 miles home by car, sick all the way, and then pretty much collapsed once I got here. Not being a miser with my miseries, I gave portions of the virus to my entire family – thus ensuring we all had a rather miserable Christmas. Oh, well – better luck next year.

I am starting to feel better, although I’m still feeling the effects of this thing. I have to do a road trip this week, so I’m hoping to be feeling MUCH better real soon now.

  1. Leland and Patty,

    The crude is out there. I am so hoping this finds you feeling better. Hubby has it, daughter on second bout of it. I keep drinking EmergenC and wash hands and take vitamins, Lots of chicken soup, homemade. Ginger tea. Sending prayers for a quick recovery and smarts to know when to cancel a trip so one gets well. Blessings my friends. I really think of you as friends.

  2. Sorry to hear that you have been sick … and that you gave it to the family. Take care of yourself. It is not fun to have a virus. I had influenza b last April for almost the entire month.

    Wishing you a great 2015!

So sorry to hear you were sick…I know the feeling..I came down with a “cold” about the same time and it progressed into the flu/bronchitis…I not only gave it to my husband–but gave it to his entire family-father, mother, sister, sisters husband, children–etc etc..all together I got about 10 people sick..Did not do it on purpose–I thought I had a cold…hope you are feeling better now–i’m headed in that direction hopefully.
