(8:30 p.m. Wednesday.) Hey gang, I'm heading out to the garden store tomorrow to buy these here flowers for my backyard......((((RECORD SCRATCH!!!!!!)))) this post had to be cut short last night as I became overcome by crud!
(5:27 p.m. Thursday afternoon. ) You all know that Marshall has had the crud. My nephew Abram gave Marshall the crud. Marshall gave me the crud. Mother had the crud before she arrived here so all she has now is a nagging cough. Last night Marshall and I thought we were going to die. Okay, that's too dramatic. Imagine yourself in bed, trying to cough up crud and blowing your nose until it just wants to come off. You start to feel that the room is so hot and humid, yet the air is set for 69 degrees. Imagine yourself having to leave your husband in bed and beat a hasty retreat to the sofa for some peace and quiet because you think you just can't stand the coughing, wheezing and sneezing anymore. Then you realize once you're alone in the living room, that it's you as well that is doing all the coughing, wheezing and sneezing. You start to feel that you are strangling. Your albuterol spray is not doing it's job. You go back to the bedroom and throw yourself in bed only to hear your husband babbling something about wanting to go outside and kick the back porch light. Is he delirious? Is he in the throes of a raging fever? He opens his mouth to speak but all that comes out is "wheeeeeeze!" Oh, oh!
By now I'm thinking, dear God, I have to get us to the doctor! We both call in sick...he's been out for a week and neither Marshall nor I has had one good night's sleep. I've been out for three days. We call our beloved physician who sees both of us and they tell us to get there as fast as possible. We drag ourselves to the shower and get ready and we are on the road in less than twenty minutes. Poor mother, she was so worried but she stayed behind because we didn't know how long the wait would be since we were just dropping in and Dr. H was going to be leaving early today.
The results:
Deanna: Bronchitis, Tonsillitis, Ear infection in right ear and asthma.
Marshall: Severe Bronchitis and asthma
The Meds: Zpak, stronger Albuterol, Singulair, Cheratussin with codeine and a brand new Nebulizer.
Can you throw in a pickle and a side of mustard with that?
Mrs. Black Thumb will be attempting a magical trip to the Home Depot Garden center on Saturday . Stay tuned.
Vicks on your feet really works!
Love you,
Mr. and Mrs. Crud Cakes

Oh! Deanna, please all of you get well soon! I will be praying for you.
I so empathize.

Oh Crud! We had that over the New Year and then took weeks to recover. I am so sorry to hear it has struck you.
I had chills I never have experienced before......
Well, you should know that other than some resistant fluid in my ears I am back to good health. Wishing the same for you!!!! It doesn't last forever...even though it feels like it will.
Oh Deanna, I've been meaning to stop by for weeks now and I'm sorry it's taken me so long. It looks like you are NOT having fun so I'll be praying for you and hoping that things start looking up. I've been sick too with coughing and other such lovely things so I definitely feel your pain.
Were you able to get your Christmas put away? I just walked through my kitchen and it still looks like Christmas ;-O.

I did Cori..barely. I was loathe to put it away since I didn't get to enjoy Christmas this year.
Deanna :D
Boy, you two really got hit hard. Did you really notice a difference with the Vicks even with all that rampaging through your bodies?!
I hope the healing can now begin and some serious planting can get underway. Have a great weekend Mrs. Crud Cakes!

OMG....I am so sorry you guys have been taken over by The Crud!! We haven't had that form around here.....instead three of my family members have had the puking (and other end) stuff....which lasts about 4 days. It is not a good thing, either. I pray I don't get any of the stuff.....is that selfish? ;)
Please get better before you head out to buy flowers...they can wait. You sound very sick!!!
Hope this weekend brings you good health....to everyone in your family!!

Oh goodness! I hope that over the weekend you've gotten back to feeling more like yourself thanks to the meds. Those flowers are so beautiful! I can't even look at flowers right now because I'll want to start puttering in the garden and it's too soon for that... I have to wait until I've healed some more.

I'm out in the sunny yard this afternoon. Hope you are feeling better and can get out...it'll warm your bones.
Thanks for taking a gander at my pretty. I live with two guys (hubs & son) who just don't woo and hoo enough to suit me.
Blessings and well wishes ;-)
Oh my, you guys are really sick. Hubby is getting over bronchitis but it was no where near as bad as you guys have. Take care.
