I’ve had the flu for about five weeks now. It’s just getting worse. I’ve been taking Chemists Own tablets for a couple weeks, but they don’t do anything. Yesterday I got some Codral Cold & Flu tablets, but they don’t help either. The chemist said “this will stop a runny nose and clear any congestion”. yeah right! It’s done nothing.
I went to book into the doctor’s yesterday morning but they were already booked out for the whole day at the Medical Centre. I went to the local shopping centre to pick up some food and went to the doctor’s there. They close at 12pm and I was there at 11:30am, but they said they were closed and the doctor was already about 20 minutes away from work!
I rang up this morning and booked into the Medical Centre for 12:15pm. I sure hope they can fix this before I fly off on Wednesday. You’re not supposed to fly if you have anything wrong with your ears and mine keep getting blocked up from all the nose-blowing going on.
My nose is so sore from blowing constantly the last few days. I’ve got a sore throat, sneezing, coughing, hot forehead, the works.
I even tried putting the heater on all night in the bedroom to try and keep me warm as well as drying out the air in the room. That seemed to help a bit. It’s that funky heater I bought a year or so ago which you program the desired temperature on the remote and it turns on and off automatically as needed.
I’ve spent most of the morning lying down on the couch watching TV and keeping Sienna entertained, to give Bec a rest. I’ve watched Finding Nemo a couple of times already.
