I've been really sick since thursday evening with a monster cold.  The kind that makes you so miserable that death seems like a reward.  No breathing, a cough so persistant that your stomach muscles hurt and a dull nagging headache.
 
I am taking some pretty strong stuff for the symptoms, but it's really just dulling the symptoms.  So today I holed myself up in my room and tried to rest and get a lot of fluids.  I tried to stay out of my housemate's way, so I didn't "share" this with them.  What else can you do?!!
 
Just a few minutes ago Jerry came you hooing at my door.  I thought maybe he would be upset with my hacking and coughing.  But instead he was there to ask me if I'd like some of Frankie's homemade chicken soup. (hence jewish penicillan)
 
So as I'm writing this I'm spooning some of the best soup I've ever had into my disease laden mouth.  MMmmmm good.  Once again after a pretty yucky weekend, I feel loved.  If only by my wonderful housemates.

    It's so nice to have someone dote on you when you're sick, isn't it? Your new extended family sound like real sweethearts.   Feel better soon, Uni...Australia's waiting for you!

    ahh you see the universe (franky) is looking after you... glad you had him offer it, jewish penecilin is perfect for those pesky germ ridden days.

    Twirlie - I think I had been missing the doting.  Yes, my new family rocks!

    Lu - the universe and Frankie are good caregivers.

    Awww Uni, I'm happy you had your new family there!  How sweet of them.  I hope you're feeling much better!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Feb 15, 2009....
    Hege - still fighting this stupid thing, but I feel so much better knowing that my housemates care.

    It works for me.  However it MUST be home-made by a Jewish person for full potency (for some strange reason).

    Interestingly enough you can get "Essence of Chicken" from Chinese herbalists as a cure for something..... possibly colds.  I can't remember.

    I suspect it has something to do with the chicken and not the Jewish or Chinese persons. 

    Are there any Chinese Jews???
  • uniquely-ironic said on Feb 16, 2009....
    PO - Jerry really is jewish, so if he tastes it does that make it better?
  • PieterOpie said on Feb 16, 2009....
    Absolutely - yes.  

    My partner is also Jewish.  I don't know what trigger it, but get sick and some kind of nurturing genetics kick in or something.  It might be Jewish guilt too.   Who knows..... 

    I can't cook so If I made soup the chicken would get sick and catch the cold instead. 

    Hopeless!!!! 
  • uniquely-ironic said on Feb 16, 2009....
    PO - lol, the chicken would get sick!!  I do have to agree that the best chicken soups I've had were kosher ones.
  • PieterOpie said on Feb 16, 2009....
    Oh I don't know that the chicken really needs to be circumcisded to be effective...
  • uniquely-ironic said on Feb 16, 2009....
    PO - bwa ha ha ha ha!  I bet it does! or at least converted.
  • PieterOpie said on Feb 16, 2009....
    Of course it's converted.... from a chicken into a soup!!!    heee heee heeeeeeee!!
  • satanx said on Feb 16, 2009....
    Chicken soup is better than my healing powers, but you can pass your cold over to me if you yearn too.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Feb 16, 2009....

    satanx - I'd be happy to

I"m sick....
An incoherent rambling on what happens to the body after a weeks worth of sick....
sorry, but someone has to hear it...
Thought I'd share these few gems from my yucky feeling mind....
So here I am, sitting in the hospital on my laptop. I feel like total shit. Last night, I woke up with a piercing pain in my abdomen. I felt like I was dying. My husband was at work, so I really didn't have anyone to call......
