Where's Laundress

[stan]

Haven't seen her posting?

Dear are you O.K

 

[supersuds]

She posted a topic in the As the Tub Turns forum on Easter Sunday.

Look out the back window, she's hanging laundry from the 5th floor again.

Feel better now.

Just saw her post on the Tide thread.

Why Stan You Darling!

It is nice to be missed! Thank you.

Have been dealing with yet another bad URI/flu for the past few weeks that just wouldn't go away. Therefore spent much time confined to bed trying to rest, that is when one was not sounding like La Dame aux camellias (take me to the window, cough, cough....). So much coughing that actually hurt the muscles along my left side, which was yet another cross to endure.

Dear

Glad to know your alright!
Had the flu so bad one year I cracked a rib from the coughing. So I know the feeling.

Take care Dear.

Launderess-- Dr. Frigilux prescribes several large glasses of wine and DVD sets of classic Brit sitcoms.

Launderess . . .

Hope you are feeling better soon, few things are more miserable than coughing to the point that your body hurts more than your throat! I think Dr. Frigilux has a great prescription, if that doesn't work after repeated attempts then it's time to call Dr. Bombay.

I Never Drink..... Wine

Alas that beverage especially the red variety is off one's list for the duration. My quack wants to try via a process of elimination to see what is causing bouts of late night gastric reflux and heartburn.

On a more serious note as one was taking ibuprofen to deal with fever and aches/pains caused by the flu drinking any alcoholic beverage was not on either. Mixing of the two can do some nasty things to one's body in particular the liver.

Dear

I hope it's not a Hyadle Hernia brought on by the coughing!
Sounds like you were a pretty sick girl.
Pretty being the operative word here

Ibuprofen

Be careful with that if you have heartburn. Ibuprofen can make it worse. Same for diclofenac. Perhaps a glass of (white) wine isn't a bad idea...

 

[ovrphil]

wishing you a recovery from all your health issues, soon!

 

[launderess]

Thanks All To Pieces!

Must say however since one has been off red wine am sleeping a bit better. Well that is now that the flu/URI is slowly going away that is; no more waking up in the middle of the night doing a "Fred Sanford"; (clutching one's chest gasping in pain.. I'm coming to join you Elizabeth...." *LOL*

Mention of white wine always takes one back to the 1980's when dainty women (and some men) one knew would order "white wine spritzers". I mean really! *LOL* I'm all for ladylike behavior and all but sometimes persons need to man up and drink real booze sweetie-darling! *LOL*

 

[imperial70]

Keep feeling better. Spring is gonna be here.... soon?

 

[supersuds]

Good to know you're feeling better, L. The place isn't the same without you!

 

[launderess]

Spring is gonna be here.... soon?

I'd like to know when? *LOL*

It has been pouring rain all day and the weather has been cold, dank and dreary. We still have the heat on in our building! Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70's and sunny but we shall see.

One wonders if the constant fluctuation of temperatures is not what is making so many ill around here. One day or maybe two it is in the 70's and everyone is out running about in hoodies and light clothing, the next few days are cold (night time temps 50F) or <40F) with rain and damp.
