I did some post-grad studies in sarcasm, in the Army. I knocked out the undergrad and graduate work growing up. My family was blessed with a powerful, innate sense of sarcasm. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I am running a temp of just over 103 degrees and sinus pain & the shivers won’t let me sleep. I never get fevers. I haven’t had one Like this since I got bitten by the Brown Recluse and got medi-vacced out of the field during a Platoon Artep, when I was 19. That was a most welcome chopper/ambulance ride. This really sucks. Now that I’ve sniveled a little, I am going to make another run at some sleep. Somebody text me some chicken soup, ok? The doctors always say drink plenty of liquids. Recently I had a bad cold that hung on for a couple of weeks an done day I though I was feeling better but I was was having a hard time walking out of a building to may car and I had to keeps sitting down and each time I tried to get up and walk I'd feel dizzy and had to sit down again. Finally somebody called an ambulance and the EMT's said I had high blood pressure, High blood sugars, and was severely dehydrated. I'm diabetic and it felt like low blood sugar but that wasn't 3what it was. They gave me an IV and I absorbed almost a full bag of saline solution on the ambulance ride and they gave me another bag in the hospital and then I felt OK again. Dehydration was all that was wrong with me even though I aas getting over the cold. They also said at my age (71, 72 next month) colds can effect me worse than when I was younger and that the cold medication I was taking helped to dehydrate me. I wasn't eating as much either and that didn't help. You need your nutrition when you're sick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid all the "experienced" powered model airplane nuts were "fixed up" frequently, since they ran their airplane motors on the bench, and the fuel was mixed with Castor oil for a lubricant.

Drinking a straight mix is bad for you. W. C. Fields said so! Years ago I always liked to drink plenty of hard liquor to alleviate cold symptoms. But I was a lot stronger then and my body was able to take a lot of abuse. Now all that abuse is catching up with me and I'm not as invulnerable as I once was, or believed myself to be. A man has got to know his limitations. Edited October 28, 2019 by Borg warner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshe Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Get to the doctor, and see if you can find some real chicken soup. That bland crap in a can is no real substitute. That is what we do with the remnants of a roster when one is butchered and sent to the crock pot. The rest is left behind makes great soup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As kids growing up, we were rarely given soda to drink. The only exception was, when sick we were given all the ginger ale we wanted. Now I associate ginger ale with being sick and can't stand that ****. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
