But she sounds worse, and can't talk without going into fits of coughing. At least she can function a little more normally, but she needs someone to tie her down for a day or two . . . at least!<br /><br />Erin - HEY! It was HER idea to put the patch over her eye. And I even warned her it was gonna leave marks on her face. (Wonder if it removed any eyebrows when pulled off? Tee-hee!)<br /><br />Hi, Claire - Regarding her impaired driving skills, I figured the wildlife could look out for themselves. No, I knew she would have next to no traffic and her "hot toddy" was not stupor inducing, just something to coat her throat. (We all know this gal takes after her father when consuming alcohol . . . I've never seen either of them impaired!)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-4480628103129484152010-01-11T13:52:07.587-06:002010-01-11T13:52:07.587-06:00Now that I've taken the time to properly read ...Now that I've taken the time to properly read all . . . .<br /><br />MaineCelt, THANK YOU for lookin' out for me! ;)<br /><br />Sparkless, yeah, I have to admit that when Mama Pea mentioned that people might not be thrilled with me preparing food for them to eat in my state, I was a tad offended! I am SUPER conscious of washing my hands, not coughing / sneezing into them, etc., etc. But then . . . I FINALLY realized that my germs were bad enough that just having them circulate throughout the house was too much to inflict on friends, let alone enemies! And, with two wee ones in the fray, it was time I let stubbornness take the back seat.<br /><br />Ruthie, thanks. :)<br /><br />Erin & Mom, a note regarding that tape: it is STICKY! Yeah, like duct-tape-sticky. Esp. when used on the delicate skin of the face. I took the patch off that night right before bed, and I had puffy, red skin underneath the tape . . . and sticky adhesive still stuck the next morning! M-mmm: sexy!<br /><br />And, I didn't really realize how messed up my depth perception was until I was home that night and loading up the wood boiler! "Let's see, if I throw in this big hunk of wood with . . . THIS much force . . . it should land riiiiight THERE! Whoops! Nope, not so much!"<br /><br />Claire, I'm just glad I was driving the tiny Yaris instead of the plow truck with the 9' blade! ;)Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-14101138566146879822010-01-11T12:37:26.854-06:002010-01-11T12:37:26.854-06:00I haven't had the chance to read the whole pos...I haven't had the chance to read the whole post yet or the comments (heck, I'm doing good to have pulled my laptop out up here in my sick bay), but all I can say is, "Niiiiiice." I really look great. (But, Mom, I still say that I don't look sick enough in those pics aside from the stupid eye patch to garner any attention. Now, if you put up a picture of the way I look NOW . . . !)Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-42261875686374583622010-01-11T11:37:07.483-06:002010-01-11T11:37:07.483-06:00Poor girl!

A sign on my back while she had the chance? LOL.

Just exhausted, couldn't breathe, nose running like a faucet, eyes tearing, throat gravely, coughing fit when she tried to talk, etc. All the usua, lovely symptoms.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.
