It's the cold that's been building up all week and suddenly hit me with a ton of bricks. My head feels like it's a hundred pounds and ready to blow, my nose varies between constant running and unable to unstuff, and it feels like a golf ball wrapped in cotton is stuck in my throat. I'm finishing this post and laying my heavy head down...
All I want is my mom. Not that she'd even do anything, it's a cold, it pretty much has to run its course. But, I always want my mom when I'm sick, if only to feel like someone cares and wants to make me feel better. :) Silly, I know, and slightly childish, but I can't make the feeling ever go away. I know she'd bring me home cold medicine and cough drops and pick up my favorite canned campbell's soup, which I forgot to get when I stopped for the cold medicine and do not have the energy to go back out for it. It's fallen casualty to the cold and now that I'm sitting down in my pjs, really doesn't seem all that important. We'll see if it's worth it when I wake up after I take this little nap...
are you getting better now? Pei Pa Koa (www.geocities.jp/ninjiom_hong_kong/index_e.htm ) is one of the few Chinese natural cough remedies that have been scientifically studied. it's something like herb plus honey, and it's sweet, thick and black in color. If you have a cough, look for it! It used to be one of my favourite natural cough remedies.
ReplyDeleteif your cough persists, seek professional help such as traditional Chinese medicine physicians - I have had very good experiences with them.
I'm 50 years old and still want my mom when I don't feel well Lindsey. I think that's a compliment to the way we were raised by loving, caring moms!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I'm very lucky and I hope I can do the same for my kids some day! :)
