Well That Sucked Bigly

Posted on by

I’d like to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and also wish Bear Claw a belated birthday.

Unfortunately, I slept completely through my entire birthday and half of the next day.

I didn’t even see any of them until Sunday afternoon and then I just glanced.

My lovely Wife came down with a vicious head/chest cold early last week and by Thursday I knew I was doomed to catch it too.

Now everyone in the house is sick.

When I got home from work friday night I put up that post about my birthday and as soon as I hit publish it felt like a rock wall fell over on me. I closed the laptop and went to bed.

Except for bathroom breaks I was out for a day and a half. This is Monday, about one in the afternoon and I just got done eating something for the first time since Friday evening.

I had to force myself to eat something because I still don’t feel hungry.

This is some wicked shit boys.

One star, Do Not Reccommend type shit.

My head has been so plugged up even benadry; barely did anything so that I could breathe through my nose, I have a sinus pressure headache and pretty much feel like I went through the wringer a few times.

So thanks again for the birthday wishes, I am going to gather up some more liquids and medications and go fall back into bed.

I’m not sure I am going to try and go to work tomorrow yet either. Time will tell.

  1. This (Navage) works great for the sinus pressure and daily use. Use warm water, test on elbow like a baby bottle. Use previously boiled or distilled to avoid the brain eating amoebas that can live in water. https://navage.com/

    That and Xlear. Xylitol is eaten by bacteria, but is not sugar, so they die. Will kill dogs, too, though. Same reason. Moisturizes nasal as well. Good luck.

  2. A fellow worker, half Cherokee, got better advice from his gramma than anyone else got from a doctor. He cleared colds with HOT onions and HOT horse radish sandwiches. In 25 years he never used a sick day. Honey and cinnamon was a good one too.

  4. Well, happy belated birthday. Had a similar bug about 2 months ago. Just felt like 5 miles of bad road. I can second the loss of appetite.

    Hope you feel better soon

  5. I started taking Zinc when the covid thingy started. I haven’t had a cold since.
    Your mileage may vary.

  6. It’s that fuckin’ time of the year.
    I missed out a couple of months ago when everybody in the house was sick and I was good as gold.

  7. well sadly I missed the poast about pending berfday, and now reading this – yikes. The wife-type person here has been down with some lung crud but it’s mostly gone now. Anyway happy berfday and hope you get better soon. Elmo is right, zinc and vitamin D are your friends. I also start taking quinine during cold & flu season I read somewhere back in the covid daze that it has some benefits so – yah.

  8. Happy birthday and get well soon. Only thing that ever worked for me was sleep and hot liquids. The best

  10. We’ll that sucks. Pseudoephedrine for congestion if your health allows it. Get the good stuff that you gotta show a driver’s license to get. If not, candied jalapenos.

  11. Mullein helps get the phlegm out, uou can find it in capsules if it doesn’t grow around your house

  12. Back when I was young I had a real bad head cold. Stuffed and miserable. I went in to one of the local bars on a cold miserable night and the owner and I were the only two in the bar. He told me I needed a Flu Shot [a shot of blackberry brandy and a shot of peppermint schnaps combined]. He and I had 13 of them over the course of four hours. I figured I would be the most hung over sick SOB on earth the next morning but I went home crawled in bed and sweat like a horse all night. Woke up the next morning with my cold gone and no hangover. Never had the nerve to try that cure ever again.

  13. Well, that sucks! Got any ivermectin lying around? It sure helped me when Sister Suzy brought Covid home a second time. I didn’t have any symptoms, and she is still having problems a year later.

  14. Sorry I missed the birthday notification, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! anyway.
    Just think yourself lucky it’s not 2022: then the quack/media consortium would be announcing you’d got wuflu. The cold that’s going around on this side of the lake is bloody tenacious, comes and goes and so far has added to my normal misery for a 4kin month.

    • I’m 78 and had the flu a couple dozen times (including the supposed WuFlu). This latest on got me on Xmas day and for a month was like every past dose rolled into one. A real mongrel!

  15. I likes the onion and horseradish sandwich cure mentioned above. I ate scallions every day when I was younger and didn’t get many colds. When I did they didn’t last long, day or two.
