What do you all do when you're sick? I wish I could just snuggle in bed and sleep all day cause I'm stuck with this silly cold. It's worse cause I work in a hospital for 2 weeks doing a clinical and I'm so afraid of getting patients there sick too. Ugh. Maybe I'll just go stand in the warm shower before I put my jammies on so that at least I'm not so gosh darn cold...

I feel for you. I've got the worst sore throat/earache/fever right now.

I used to get ear infections when I was little all the time. Somewhere around 5th or 6th grade, I managed to get 9 ear infections in 10 months. So I had tubes put in and I've been nearly without an infection ever since.
Being sick sucks.

If I had to get tubes it would kill off my dream career path (ROTC, navy pilot, test piliot, astronaut, moon base comander)

Have some chicken soup, take a warm shower, and then sleep.

Thanks, Layne. I haven't had any chicken soup, but I've had a couple warm showers and lots of sleep (at least 8 hours a night) and I've been feeling a bit better, even though it's taking a long time for this silly cold to go away.

So you had otitus media with bilateral effusion? Yay! Let's make cake!
I think you should wear a respirator to work. In the form of a Vader mask.

We'll make an ear-shaped cake just for you, Mooby! hehehe
Today was my first day at work that I didn't feel like crap from the cold, but I nearly fell asleep about 3 times cause I was bored between patients. Oh well. It'll be different when I've got my own patients to worry about. xd

I used to get wicked ear infections all the time when I was little. It had something to do with my inflamed tonsils or whatever. Then I got my tonsils out and tubes put in so s'all good now except for a general popping when I swallow/yawn.
I'd say sleep but when you sleep, you can't snuggle because you're so hot and you can hardly breathe. Just drink plenty of fluids and curl up into a nice tight ball in front of the television. It's what I do. XD

She's the spirit of your sorrow and the reason for your tears... |~^.[ When I get a cold, I drink generous amounts of sports drinks/electrolyte solutions - Gatorade, Glucolyte, stuff like that. I've also had success with frozen Coke for the throat, warm water for the nose and a damp facewasher if you've also got a fever. Also, hot tea with honey seems to work. ].^~| ...She's your fury and your glory and your deepest, darkest fears.
