Ode To My Cold

[drcorey]

I woke up Thursday morning with my head full of you, Cold. I'm not really sure that you're as welcomed as I first thought. Friday was pretty miserable at work,too, and despite the fact that I only worked till noon, it felt like forever. I have you, Cold, to thank for this. When you first showed up on Thursday, I thought it might not be too bad. You made me cough a little, and my sinuses were slightly congested, but my gf felt sorry for me and let me go to bed early. It's not the worst condition I've ever been in, by far, and the extra sleep was cool. I thought it might be ok if you just hung around for a few days then quietly bailed. You've proven me wrong.

Fast forward to Saturday, and my skull feels like it's going to explode soon. I might actually welcome this. My eyeballs are being snot-forced out of their sockets, and are leaking all over my face. I need to blow my nose every two or three minutes, when I'm not sneezing. I've tried several remedies, but none have worked. The temperature fluctuations you have imposed upon me are also nothing short of stupefying. First I'm freezing, then sweltering. You're a multi-faceted Cold, and one I wish I could have avoided. I don't know what else to say.

You are a tenacious one, Cold.

I haven't met a Cold like you in about ten years. You grasp firmly onto the interior of my face like an eighty year-old woman gripping the wheel of a huge, well-maintained 1970's-era Cadillac Fleetwood. You make my eyes run like a crack hooker evading Metro on Fremont Street after midnight. My entire cranium is under more pressure than I could ever imagine. This sucks.

Ok, Cold. You've proven your point. You have the upper hand in controlling my body. Now, go away. Please. And take your gallon (~4 litres) of snot with you. I don't want you living in me anymore.

Also, once this Cold has left, there will be space available in my head (more than usual). A short-term rental or lease will be considered for any non-Cold. Situations vary, so let me know.

Poor baby, you need a hug. A virtual hug so you don't contaminate us all.
Hope you feel better soon.

I think I had/have the same thing past week and a half. Better now, but still hanging around! Get Well Soon!

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Three shots of RUM will make you celebrate the reason!!

And for shots of RUM wull make you a PIRATE!!!!

I would mail you some of my chicken soup, but I don't think it will mail well. It has been known to chase colds away! Aw, I know how you are feeling...Both Raffle and I were sick at Christmas and Raffle is STILL coughing a little. It sucks to be sick! Big hugs to you!!!! Have you tried Mucinex? That stuff really works! and lots of rest!

Zazu, we need a Get well emoticon. I could not find anything appropriate for that wish! And since it is Cold and Flu season, we will certainly be wishing that sentiment to many more before it is over!

Get well drcorey!!!!! :)

Couldn't find one right away for "recovery", but I did find one that very clearly says "SICK"....

Now that is in bad taste.

I always liked that joke, what is Michael Jackson's favorite pastime?

Thats a rimshot!! :rimshot:

Tell me that dosn't have anything to do with the upcoming tour??? :bubble:

[Zazu]

Okay, okay, knock it off with the rude PMs already!

I put up another "sick" smilie. Maybe you'll like this one better.



And yes, that is one sick puppy.

But then, so is Michael. :rimshot:

I like the sick puppy one better than the Michael Jackson one. I had a cold, but of course it always leaves sinusitis in its wake. Today was warm and dry, so after a saline nasal irrigation, my shnoz was clear. I hate postnasal drip. It least chronic sinusitis doesn't hurt. Acute sinusitis is what makes your head hurt so much you're ready to rip it off and throw it under an oncoming train just to get relief! (Insert joke about a train running over one's head and thus broadening one's mind here). :D:
