So both the wife and I are insanely ill right now, although she's a bit worse off than I am. I still went to work this morning, but getting up against the pain was a struggle, and I really didn't do much while I was there.
I starting thinking about the little things I do when I'm sick, things that I do differently from my every day life. I eat chicken soup. I take dicongestants. I tend to have less energy which means I lay around more. It's all part of the coping process, the struggle to get myself better as quickly as possible. Now, I consider myself lucky in that I believe I have a healthy constitution. I never get motion sickness, I never throw up (except once after heavy drinking), I never hiccup more than three times in a row (no, seriously). I have a pretty durable frame, so hopefully this cold, like many others before, will be short-lived.
But I wanted to toss this out to you, the home viewer. When you take ill, what do you do to take care of yourself? I'm betting some of you out there have unusual habits and practices to help make yourself feel better, so let's hear them. :shinner:
