Hey, where is everybody???

[Carol]

I'm feeling very lonely round here

Damn doctor said I could go back to work...

is this your family doc or do you have workman comp. docs there?  How are you feeling? 

[saucyaussies]

no workman comp dr's, just family dr.  I'm good enough to be back at work and actually, I was getting a bit bored at home.  Still get sore at night, and tonight particularly, due to first day back and physio.  PT always makes me sore the day of, but helps soooo much afterwards!

Now I have to decide if I just want WCB to handle my injury claim or if I want to get a lawyer involved...I'm so torn.

I just got a new position so I've been busy adjusting to that, and low and behold I park my car on the street one night to visit my sis and a drunk driver comes barreling into it.  So have been dealing with getting rentals, getting the adjustor to look at it, etc.  Blah.  Plus in addition to that my comp had a virus again its just now recovering from.  I think it passed it on to me, as I've been sick as a dog the last three days.  But I dont want to call off since its a new position.  eck.

   hows everyone else

[Carol]

oh no, cold or stomach flu?  Both are on the rampage around here!

[Louisa]

well i have a bit of everything. Mainly horrible congestion. Nausea, so hot at night to the point i feel refreshed to walk out in the snow. However freezing all day, feel very dehyrated all day and very tired. I could sleep at any point in the day it feels like yet I sleep terribly at night. And not really a symptom but wow are my lips chapped to high heaven. I keep medicated blistex on them all day but they seem to soak it up and are still dry and so painful. The only thing that gives relief for more than five minutes is silicone glove intensive hand lotion from avon on them. Sounds weird but they are so painful and chapped that any relief i'll take. I usually don't have this bad of a problem. Any ideas?

[Carol]

A&D ointment....the taste ain't great but it works quite well.  So sorry you're feeling badly.  Sounds like you need a day of staying in bed and LOTS of fluids.  Weekends coming...stay hiome, stay warm, and have your mom make you some chicken noodle soup.
