Sick.

Ugh!!!! There are a few things I can handle when I'm sick.

• Headache
• Coughing
• Aches
• Chills
• Fever

The two things that I can not handle are: Sore throat & Vomiting. I've had a sore, swollen throat for over almost a week now! At this point in time I don't even remember what it's like to not have a sore throat. I wish I could stomach honey or even tea. I suffer through hot chocolate in the mornings and popcicles the rest of the day. By about 5 PM things are better. Once I lay down the sore throat wakes me up all night long. I have resorted to tying a scarf around my mouth and neck to help. Apparently, my habit of sleeping with my mouth open is not helping matters.

Day 2 of the Demon on steroids has resulted in a little improvement. Instead of 12 times a day, he's gone about 8 times. The first thing he said this morning was "I don't think these steroids are making me hungry, I think they are making me full!" Awww. Unfortunately, he's wrong. By lunchtime he was pigging out! I did manage to get through Kroger without going near the chip aisle. We bought "healthier" snacks...if you consider cheese healthy.

Okay,...going to take a pain pill and try to sleep. I've found that it helps a bit.
