I actually find that a neti pot helps with sore throat ...

Hope things clear up, Mimi!

Dear buzzy stinging insect,

Thanks for keeping me up all night. I especially appreciated waking up with a fat lip at 5:30 am. My dog was happy too, as he loves getting his first walk at daybreak, while I prefer to get out of bed at a sane hour.

I am not a happy camper this morning!

Oooo absolutely, especially if it's a post-nasal drip sore throat!

Oh Mimi - that sucks

I'm sorry.

I will say - I've had repeated sore throats immediately following flu shots (too many times that it's not possible I was just getting sick each time). Hopefully it's just that or allergies of some form....

it's not the sore throat i'm worried about, it's the possibility of giving it to DH!!!

We know. We're just hoping if you nip it in the bud it won't go looking for a new host.

If it's any consolation, I think my allergies have been up this week, so I don't know if that's what's causing your sore throat, but at least allergies aren't contagious.

How is Don feeling otherwise?

Oh Mimi I feel for you! Back in 2008 they tried to remove my sister's lung tumor. Unsuccessful, but she still had to recover from lung surgery. I had taken off work with the idea that I could be home for up to 6 weeks helping to take care of her as she recovered. I ended up getting a wicked respiratory infection and before I could get out of their house, I gave it to her. UGH. WORST SISTER EVER.

She kept saying - you don't know that I got it from you. I pointed out that she hadn't been out of the house for 2 weeks. Really a no-brainer there.

At least we laugh about it. Now.

Hope you are feeling better pronto and that the black cloud clearly following you around, gets lost!

The Donald feels great. He went on a bike ride in the glorious sun, while I laid down with a book -- also in the sun. We have a 100k to do tomorrow and gee, which one of us looks like they might not be up for it?? (sigh)
He is amazing, that's all I can say.

Possegal, argh, so it DOES happen. EEEEEK.
