Connies Words While on the Go!
A virus and the flue are going around.
It seems so many of my friends and family have come down with this stuff. Melancholy, headache, flu like symptoms…it’s a miserable feeling.
I know this, because I have come down with it too. It seems to come and go. Not good. Not good at all. To everyone who is experiencing this, feel better sooner than soon. My thoughts and healing energy are with you.
I have a lot to be thankful this year. I have an awesome family. Though we are not rich financially, we are rich we get by. We are all in fairly good health and indeed the list goes on.
I am however very thankful for the men and women who fight for our freedom in wars we never even should have been in. No debates on this day, I’m just very thankful for these brave people.
With that in mind, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and remember all we have to be thankful for.
With the change in the weather, I sort of expected for us to come down with the annual colds and sore throats that we usually do. Generally we shake it, with chicken soup and lots of liquids, and rest. Not this time. My youngest son is feeling well now, after he got over strep. But I got it…Aren’t Mom’s supposed to be immune? Then the rest of the family followed.
I honestly can’t stand it when my children are sick. Despite of their ages and they are nearly grown adults…( Okay, sometimes they don’t act like it, but age wise they are…) I always feel so sorry for them and of course, this is the only time they want “Their Mommy.”
I’ve got a HUGE pot of chicken soup brewing on the stove, and went to the store and loaded up on the Power Aids, which will do well to put electrolytes in their bodies. They are actually resting on their own and they must feel kind of poopy, since they aren’t arguing with me. WHEN IS WARM WEATHER GOING TO GET HERE????? Okay, a moment of spazing out there… I’m entitled. (;
Lately I’ve been getting terrible headaches. I seldom ever got headaches, let alone ones that others have described as migraines. But for about two months now, I’ve had headaches that put me right to bed for hours on end. I had some tests done last week and haven’t heard anything yet. Hopefully the doctor will figure out what is happening.
My oldest daughter was at her in laws house, that is on the lake and from what she said everything was going well, they were having a great time, but had to warn the kids to be really careful going up and down the deck steps while they were wet, since they were slippery. What did she do? Went up the steps, slid in water that was on the deck and tumbled down. She broke her arm from above the elbow to just under her arm pit. I feel so sorry for her since we’ve had pure record breaking heat, her arm is in a cast from under arm to wrist and of course she is in a great deal of pain. Besides, oldest child or not, she is still my “Baby”. She goes to the surgeon again in three days to see how it’s doing. So far it’s not healing normally and we are so worried she’ll have to have surgery, as he has suggested.
