Posts: 8,574The nurse in me says drink lots and lots of fluid. It will thin the mucous in your lungs out so you can cough it up easily....otherwise it gets stuck in the tiny little passage ways and makes it hard to breathe.
Fluids and baby yourself! Water is the best fluid....but if you cant handle water, just drink anything that is not caffeine or alcohol related....both dehydrate....gatorade, lemonade,applejuice......
bless you,
I hope you feel better really soon

PottersHouse BearsMy prayers are with you. Some encouragement: We have a friend at church who ended up with sinus infection turned bronchitis turned pneumonia on Friday. He was at church last night and was much, much better. So I think you will kick this thing pretty quickly. I know when you are the one who is sick, it seems like it takes forever. You'll be up and running again real soon.

Dilu,
I work retail. I am a department supervisor at a retail store called Kohls. Some times I just get pushed to far !!! I don't usually get sick but this bug got me !! Don't even know where I got it !!! Hate being down.Expecially when I have days off. I look so foreword to them.
Thanks for the mothering.... about the watter. I am drowning !!! I really hate the coughing jags !!!
Thanks for the good word.... GOD Bless you.........Jodi
Bears by Jodi Thanks every one !! Good to know someone cares !!! 
Back Road BearsOK, Jodi... now I REALLY feel for you! I worked as a district manager for a large retail corp. for 15 years. Retail sucks the life out of a person!!! I loved it the first 10 years to be honest but as I got older and missed all the big holidays because I either had to work or had worked so hard leading up to Christmas that I was in bed sick as a dog on Christmas Day that I began hating it. I quit 6 years ago and do you know I've only been sick twice since then.... one of those times I got the Chicken Pox from a little girl I was babysitting! She stayed home sick from school but only had a low fever... no chicken pox signs! Otherwise I'd have stayed away! Anyway, working in public all the time and running yourself ragged makes your immune system weak, as you know, so TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! Nothing is worth compromising your health for!!!
:hug:

Yes retail sucks the buwie !!!! But It is what I do !!! I have thought of getting another job ....but .... where ???? I like being around people because I am a people person but ....The longer I work there the bigger my job gets with lesser people to help me, and very small raises !!!! There never seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel , I know you know what I am saying....And Christmas....What is that ???? its the hardest !!! I have been there 6 1/2 yrs. I told my self I would be there only 3 then move on but........I forgot the move on part. I don't like change so I guess when I have had enough ....I WILL MOVE ON. And if that miracle person comes in with a great job opportunity for me .... well I am OUT OF THERE !!! But for now I just have to thank GOD I have a job.They do have pretty good benefits, thats really why I stay .

ToadBriarcan I still offer sympathy if I am distracted by envying Kohls employee discount? 
Please feel better soon - maybe this is what you need to actually get you to slow down &
relax for a few days, though.
my sis in law & her fiance are both school teachers & apparently their immune systems get
a heck of a workout too!
Now go take a nap :dance: (pretend this is a wagging finger smiley!)

Bears by JodiThanks every one, but the way I feel now I don't know if I can make it to my oldest sons house tomorrow night. I get worn out going to the bathroom. But one thing hasn't changed.....I am still eating !!! So I am not dead yet !!! :crackup: Some people loose weight when they are sick......not me I just keep on eating !!!
